Sleeping Alone Again

 

Without you in it,

My bed is the worst place to be.

I can't sleep tonight,

I need you next to me.

Your pillow cannot fill your space,

And my memories sadly take the place

Of your sleeping form.

Why is it so hard to sleep alone?

I thought I was full grown,

But any more, I can't do this on my own.

This is something I should have known.

Even though you will be back with time, 

I can no longer call this place mine,

Because it was ours and you haven't left my mind.

When the night comes that you'll be forever gone,

Know that I'm coming, and I won't be long.

I'll just have to tell a few old friends goodbye,

And since they're memories, they won't cry.

A Dream Come True: Never The Strangers

"Bago Mahuli Ang Lahat" 

 

              It was Monday, June 16, 2012 when finally after nights of longing to see them perform came to an end. I woke up on the wrongs side of my bed. I was late. It was like I ate bitterness for breakfast. In short, I wasn't in my best mood that time. When I reached the gates of the school, I saw tents, colorful tents that caught my eye. I forgot that the General Freshmen Orientation was on that day. I met my classmates near the gymnasium. The program started at exactly 8:00am. I wasn't myself when they announced that their main guest will be Never the Strangers. I was like "WHAT THE FUCK??". Suddenly my mood started to change. From a dull nagging person to a very psychotic happy person (well that's what my classmates told me). And then the band came out. The crowd goes wild! Especially when they saw Ace. My friends and I ran fast as we can to get a closer view of them. Luckily we were fast. I think I was less than a meter from them. I was so happy that time. They played "Alive" first.They even performed their new single "Bago Mahuli Ang Lahat". It was priceless moment. I will never forget this one. I hope there will be more of that to come. Dreams do come true.

Who am I living for?

 

                   Just downloaded the song "Who Am I Living For", written and performed by Katy Perry. At first, the song didn't catch my attention. But when I tried to learn the lyrics and understand the meaning, it helped me understand a hidden side of the writer. 

                   Katy wrote about her query regarding her true purpose. I learned that she used to write and sing Christian songs before. She even had an album widely dedicated to God. However she wasn't that famous. Her stage name was Katy Hudson. But as what we expect in a Christian composer, she didn't stayed too long in the limelight or she hardly did. 

                    After she had written pop songs like the smash hit "I kissed A Girl, she had landslide victory against the other singers in the Billboard 100. This achievement made her more inspired to keep writing pop songs. In short she had written songs that attracted more and more fans around the globe. These songs were too far from her original songs. They are all about earthly things like money, fame and even sex. 

                    The song highlights the waking question "Who Am I Living For?" When she wrote the song, it's like she's been slapped by the truth that she is moving too far from what God had appointed her to do and that's working for faith. My favorite line from the song is "I can see the heavens but I still hear the flames calling out my name."  This is one of the key ideas of the song. If you think of it, it is obvious that Katy is finally seeing the right path but still being tempted by the shiny flames around her.  

                     I asked myself, who am I really living for?

"She finds color in the darkest places

      She finds beauty in the saddest of places

       She's such a cute, head strong city girl

Coulda had the world

   But ya falling in love in the worst way

       And if you don't go now, then you stay"

              

              

                 I never expected that it will last longer than a month. It's been a year and 3 months na pala. I don't  know what to say right now. I just couldn't believe it. I know that I'm not the perfect boyfriend. I made mistakes that almost changed her mind and heart. Ever since the day we first met, I've been giving her troubles. She should have walk away. All those heartaches I gave her were too much but somehow she managed to forgive me. However I know that she will never forget a single detail from our dark past. 

              Gratitude, Affection and Loyalty is what I can only offer her. Plans of tomorrow will never be accomplished without her. I'm not livin that life. The idea of tomorrow without her is unimaginable. Please give me this chance to tell Jami Vivas Samson of Cavite how much I would give up just to see her smile. I love you until the last beat of my heart. Happy Monthsarry Babe <3
