teecee: the first time you made me cry

you were still half-way with your life story but i was already crying my heart out. your past let me understand how you sometimes have insecurity and self-pity attacks. i wanted to hug you but the phone is just what connected us, so i tried to convince you, in between sobs, that everything will be okay from now on. that i will always be here, that i won't be leaving you.

and yes, i'll be spending more time with my family and i will always tell and show them that i love them so much...

your parents, wherever they are right now, are surely proud of you.

it's friday, i'm in...

How Did You Know
by GaryV

I remember so well
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile

My life started to change
I'd wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine

CHORUS

How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there was an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life

I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you

wake up, boy!

we try to close our eyes and together dream. dream that there is an "us" and everyone is thrilled of us together.

so we make plans that later encompass forever. ain't eternity too hopeful?

but i can't keep my eyes shut with the bright light outside.

so i wake up and noticed a soul waiting to weep.

tee cee

At what I thought was just one those friendly dates over a McDo meal, you suddenly babbled at how you've been so happy since you met me, how you did not regret crossing the seas to take up a task that you weren't excited about, and how you can't let that time pass without telling me how I have unexpectedly touched your life.

Whoaa, you're too fast! How can you say that if we've met just three days ago? Okay, okay, we've crossed paths before but I can't even remember the occasion.

You believe in signs, you answered back and pointed them out to me: we met in church, our names sounded the same, we both took up law, loved arnis, are fond of jogging, and share quite a number of interests. I am even like a member of your aunt's family. Then you wonder how can you be asked to do a task with me when that task wasn't your kind of thing? Of all the people who could be paired up with me, why were you just plucked out of the many who could do a much better job? You asked as if you still don't have your answer to that. This is meant to be, you then concluded.

And I kept silent because I remembered hearing before that you have a girlfriend. I waited for you to mention it, half-hoping you'll say it didn't work out between you two.

We must be soul mates, you continued as I try to keep from laughing.

I almost rolled my eyes from all the mushiness, but all I was able to do was give a try at covering your eyes because I can't already take your unblinking gaze.

You looked so serious; so masterful of the script, if there was one. But still, no mention of the girlfriend.

And because I don't believe in everything you said, I told you to wait. I don't easily fall, I said and added experience tells me to think things over before deciding. Give me time, I asked while thinking of the Sara Bareilles lyrics, "It's too soon to see, if I'm happy in your hands."

And of course, I have yet to research about the girlfriend.


You said you'll wait but hoped it will be soon.

A day passed and you're back home already missing me.
A day passed and I got a confirmation about the girlfriend. And I know her...
