Journey
It’s a long long journey
Till I know where I’m supposed to be
It’s a long long journey
And I don’t know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It’s a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you
Many days I’ve spent Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what’s my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong
I know I will falter
I know I will cry
I know you’ll be standing by my side
It’s a long long journey
And I need to be close
Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don’t even know why
I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can’t see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through
Cause it’s a long long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on calvary
Beneath those stormy skies
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
Cause it’s a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you
To you
happy thoughts?
Do I really need a happy thought so I can fly?
What if all my thoughts are negative?
Just that mean I can’t fly?
I’ll never get over you getting over me
I can relate to this song…
I wish I’ll be over this phase soon…
Let’s listen to the voice
After you read it, listen to the voice of Joe D’ Mango. And fall in love with it…
Echoes of our Hearts
We would start to search for answers, and try to find where love has gone wrong. But in the end, we find ourselves where we started. We cannot question love when it has its own reasons. Love will always be as it always has been. Silent. Mysterious. And deeply profound.
Many of us believe that love is forever. That love never dies. Only to be disillusioned in the end, when we find our hands empty and our hearts longing. We’ve mistakenly have looked at love as a need to be fulfilled. But love is only a gift given to us. We should not hold it in our hands, for we may never find the strenght to let it go when it decides to leave. We should only embrace its warmth and glow while it lasts, and then freely open our arms when it’s time to say goodbye.
When we fall in love with someone, we don’t want that feeling to end for it is everything we are and everything we wanted to be. We pray that love will stay and grow in our hearts. But if it doesn’t then we should never let our lives be taken by it for life should not end where heartaches begin. There is always a reason why we have to move on. When we have to say goodbye to the feelings we wanted to stay forever let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart, for love will have to set its wing free and find a place where it belongs.
We may have lost it, but then again when we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts, we will hear that feeling resounding silently forever. Then we’ll know that it has never left us, for the good that we have become because of love will always stay. It will always be there reminding us that we should be thankful and happy not because we have lost love but because for once in our lives that feeling lived in our hearts and made us happy.

only reminds me of you
this is the poem on the music video of MYMP’s version of ” only reminds me of you “. full of emotions. full of sadness…
A song of anticipation follows
black leather of footsteps
seconded by the pitter pattering
of a fist-sized machine
I am jailed by your memory
these bars of sunlight
and walls of scented smoke
and brown woods with picture frames
of evening coffee stains and cherry lipgloss
mend spaces at the back of my head
eventually, present becomes a cage
I, arrest this bird fearing fly
and longingly said to return
“why do all good things come to an end?”…
this is my status on my YM! for a couple of days. and I got a lot of reactions from my friends’ list. one conversation I had with a collegue went like this:
my friend (6/25/2007 2:08:33 PM): It don’t have to, just keep them close to you and it won’t
me (6/25/2007 8:43:10 AM): i don’t understand it
me (6/25/2007 8:43:21 AM): sorry
my friend (6/25/2007 8:44:18 AM): Ok you said why do all good things come to an end and I was just answering that question
me (6/25/2007 8:44:29 AM): ok
me (6/25/2007 8:44:46 AM): its about my status
me (6/25/2007 8:45:11 AM): well all good things really come to an end
me (6/25/2007 8:45:22 AM): that’s the reality of life
me (6/25/2007 8:45:32 AM): nothing’s permanent
my friend (6/25/2007 8:45:52 AM): Why should it? When you can control it
me (6/25/2007 8:46:16 AM): you cannot control life
my friend (6/25/2007 8:46:45 AM): Yes you can if it’s something you really want
my friend (6/25/2007 8:47:42 AM): The only thing you can’t control is death and all other thingsare within your control
me (6/25/2007 8:48:12 AM): you cannot control destiny
me (6/25/2007 8:48:47 AM): even if you really like something but if it is not destined to be yours forever
me (6/25/2007 8:49:04 AM): it will not be yours
my friend (6/25/2007 8:49:10 AM): Maybe you can’t but if you really want your destiny to go the way you want it to be you can control it if you want to
my friend (6/25/2007 8:50:25 AM): I’m sorry to hear you have limitations
me (6/25/2007 8:51:59 AM): even if you did all the things you need to do for a thing to stay in your life, but if destiny don’t permit or allow it to stay, it won’t stay.
my friend (6/25/2007 8:53:16 AM): Then it wasn’t a good thing in the first place and life must go on
me (6/25/2007 8:54:28 AM): yeah I agree that life must go on, and hey! lesson learned, but it doesn’t necessarily mean thatit is not a good thing
me (6/25/2007 8:54:50 AM): Can i ask you something
my friend (6/25/2007 8:55:33 AM): Is this problem back home for you
me (6/25/2007 8:56:05 AM): No, its not
me (6/25/2007 8:56:26 AM): just some thought after hearing a song about it
my friend (6/25/2007 8:58:08 AM): So this is all about a song
me (6/25/2007 8:58:30 AM): yup, just a song…
yeah! good things come to an end, but hey! not just good things, all the things. we just make an emphasize on good things because we are enjoying it that’s why we don’t want to end it. we want to keep it. we want to hold it forever, we don’t want to let it go, we feel bad to let it go. we want to do anything just to make it ours forever. and if we didn’t succed in doing it, pain and hurt is what we found.
but if bad things come to end, we feel relieve. we want to thank who-ever-it-was for ending it.
things do end, good or bad, but it doesn’t necessarily means that you’re left with nothing. memories are left behind. lessons are learned in those things. you can keep them with you.
this is how it goes…always…
this is a song from the ” High School Musical: The Movie “. I found it cute for me who used to believe in fairytales, magicspells, and wishing on a falling star.
When there was me and you
It’s funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I’m standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don’t really care
I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I’m not sleeping
A wish upon a star
That’s coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I’m only left with used-to-be’s
Once upon a song
Now I know your not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don’t come true
Cause now even I can tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you
I can’t believe that
I could be so blind
It’s like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn’t mind
Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you
