For some, they either eat or sleep when problems arise especially those "personal" ones, "lovebyts" most of them. Some end up drunk, some end up sleeping, but still, some face them boldly, but when it comes to me I end up awake holding a cup of caffeine looking up the starry sky.
As I thought of the problems I have, it usually makes me shut-up for some time and feel tears streaming from my eyes. Well, that is if the burden is that hard to bear, and you can tell it if I cried my eyes out by the state of my pillows. But really, in times like this present one I end up lying on the bed looking at the blankly at the ceiling or through my bedside window... I slept... I dreamed about Her...
It was the thought of Her that made me uneasy, She was on my mind all day... The thing is I think I do love her but on the other hand not really sure if I love her OR if I am ready to give up things once I decided that really it's not just an affection... I know someone who also like Her and I know that most people in my environment might have something to say if I would profess what I feel about Her...
Seven People now... seven advises like boating on a moonless river. One said to think twice, another to ask her out, five that it is all right, and one who warned me and said "never try to court Her," I am puzzled, I am confused...
Sometimes I thought maybe I should have never met Her. In the midst of everything, I still remember the day I first saw Her. Stepping into the room I was and for a moment confounded by Her presence. I loved Her but had to keep it for everyone's sake...
The instances are inevitable, meeting her numerous times after that... I know I love Her but afraid to let it out, scared to be scrutinized, to be rejected... Confused, puzzled, lost in translation. I know how I feel towards Her but I can't and don't want to admitt it. Scared and Puzzled and left with a cup of cold coffee in my hands looking nowhere through the window....
I will still love you in the midst of all the barriers that seperate us...
I will continue to give out my affections expecting nothing in return...
I love you inspite of all the consequences...
All because I finally realized the my love is true for you...Current Music: Moonlight Over Paris, Peter Meyer

I will try not to think of you when I wake up in the morning and ask myself if somehow you are also awake. I have my own life to lead on and my own life to think of. No, I won't even be in my usual trance while eating my lunch wondering if you are doing the same thing, because sooner or later I know you will.
No, never again will I go to the wash room lock myselfto cry, think, sing or whatever all because I think of you. I would never look through the open window of my bedroom just because I can't sleep and my thoughts are on you.
I am moving on...
I'll try to wake up during the sunrise and smile, think not of why you left but that once you stayed.
And if I feel that there is a need for tears to stream from my eyes, it will not be for the future we could have, not for the regrets that I have nor of the anger that I feel, but I will cry because of a love that I never was able to share with the person I know it was for, or rather it is for. I will cry for the love that was lost, not for the person who left.
I might give my affections to any person who might need it, but not my heart- it would always be with you. I will give her the love that you never wanted, the kiss that I longed to give you and the words that was once yours.
I'll try to hold the tears when I think of you. I'll just smile...
I loved you... No remorse, no regrets...
I am moving on... and hoping the next thing would be letting go...
"The greastest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go...."Current Music: The One You Love, Glen Fray

Realisations come to you, sink into your thoughts when you aren't happy or at least feeling lonely, sad, or whatever have you that is relative to fun, that's what I realized as I stared blankly at the performers on stage as I watch a certain program at school.
I seem not to mind that noise of the people chattering around, the voice of my seatmates and neither do I hear the sounds that the people performing make... I am in a trance...
It looks as though a really bad week for me, not including the first time I passed a math quiz, but more importantly the problems that I have encountered. The hectic schedule the end-of-the-schoolyear crisis brought to me, numerous academic problems, and the last two which I had in mind most of the time- thinking twice about my feelings towars her and the thought of failing a screening thrice in a row.
If it's only about the academic stuff, I shouldn't have been writing this journal at all... but things are different i had two other problems in mind... When I thought that I would be sleeping soundly in my bed- I am to be disproven, it looks as though I would be looking outside through my bedside window waiting for wishing stars to come.
"I took a grandslam," I humourously thought, but then again the thought of the crisis seeped into my mind again bringing me back to my sadness, nothing at the moment could cheer me up not even the jokes the people on stage were playing.
I love her but can't tell her, neither can I show to her all because of the threat of rejection. I have realised that my love is true for her but on the other hand I realised that I may not be the one for her. I want to pass those interviews and join those organisations but maybe, I am not the right one for those societies.
"Maybe I thought, no matter how hard you try... Things that aren't meant for you wouldn't be yours..." And I was brought back to earth with an unpleasant bump... |
|
I thought that there will be no time when I would be seperated from my coffee cup, the teaspoon and the jar of coffee sugar, but it seeems that what I thought was wrong...
Things are different now...
I'll end those times when I have to shut myself in my room and cry on my pillows. I'll end those times when I have to phone tons of people just because I can't help it... just because I think about her... I'll end up holding that cup of caffeine in my hands...
I am moving on for the second time... It is like a half time break after the first half to evaluate where I had gone wrong and to correct it for the second half. I know I have gone wrong at some point and I want to know where that point is... To correct it if still possible...
I love you and that wouldn't change... I feel no remorse neither do i feel regrets but what I just want is to stop for a moment, rest, build a temporary wall so that next time I'll be better for you... I'll just stop drinking coffee, stop those sleepless nights watching the moon sail in the velvet sky, and think about you, moreover drink cup of warm milk hoping that in my dreams I'll have the answers.
I will still love you in the midst of all the barriers that separate us...
I will continue to give out my affections expecting nothing in return...
I love you in spite of all the consequences...
All because I finally realized the my love is true for you... |

Take Me Home Country Roads Almost heaven west Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah river. Life is old there older than the trees, Younger than the mountains blowin' like a breeze.
Country roads take me home, To the place I belong. West Virginia mountain momma, Take me home country roads.
All my memories gather round her, Miner's lady stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty painted on the sky, Misty taste of moonshine teardrop in my eyes.
Country roads take me home, To the place I belong. West Virginia mountain momma, Take me home country roads.
I hear a voice in the morning how she calls me. The radio reminds me of my home far away, Drivin' down the road I get a feelin', That I should been home yesterday yesterday.
Country roads take me home, To the place I belong. West Virginia mountain momma, Take me home country roads.
Country roads take me home, To the place I belong. West Virginia mountain momma, Take me home country roads. Take me home country roads. Take me home country roads.

| » Doing A Solo Tango |
As I looked through the open window of my bedroom, I look back to the events that happened the day before. "You failed again," said a voice in my head, silently I agreed... Like countless of times before I failed again to conquer the affection of a lady I like and maybe loved. "When would you learn?" a voice in my head spoke again,"Stop now..." I paused, then looked up the moonless sky then thought maybe HE'S right... "save yourself from experiencing the fangs of adolescence..."
I continued to think, then looked across the disgruntled room to a mirror and saw a troubled figure... my own reflection.. puzzled, pained, confused... I had been living in this place we call as "Earth" for sometime to now, thirteen years to tell the truth, and on these span of age, never felt the feeling that I long for. I have given that feeling, maybe ten times or maybe more, nonetheless never felt something in return. "How come?" I sometime ask myself in desperation and after sometime agreed upon a conclusion... "Ladies are SO unpredictable." To my surprise and disappointment... I am disproved.
Thirteen years of living as single that's all I experienced, although having a lot of girl friends (take note of the space) never been romantically associated. Still, even with numerous warnings I heard from my head, I didn't heed them, I loved and I failed.
"Rejected is the word," said the voice in my head "Unsuccessful" in my opinion. Unsuccessful in finding the right women, Unsuccessful in finding someon to be romantically associated with, Unsuccessful in leaving the state of singlenes but Victorious in performing a duet single-handedly, Victorious in living a single life... Succeeded in performing a solo tango...

| » Waking from a deep sleep... |
Maybe it is because my broken PC, or maybe because I just had been very busy with my workload that I failed to keep track of my journal... but then here I am again, flooding my pages with, for some, useless words that don't mean anything at all... =)
Well, I am still here, breathing, only with some changes. I just wish it had happened earlier before. Things went on a three-hundred-sixty degree spin after spending five days in Baguio, new friends, new crushes, new policies in life same with ambitions and ideals, that's what had happened to me after almost a month of no-post days here in my journal...
I just wish things would be better in the next few days... I just wish... Although I doubt if it will be, but then that's life...
It is unsure...
That's life...
It's like walking in a land where fog obscures your vision...
That's life...
It's full of uncertainties...
That's life...
It is a like skating on thin ice...
That's life..
It is a game... learn how to play it...
