mama

She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn't be
Every other day, I crossed the line, I didn't mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had

Back then, I didn't know why, why you were misunderstood
So now, I see through your eyes, all that you did was love
Mama, I love you, Mama, I care
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend
My friend

I didn't want to hear it then, but I'm not ashamed to say it now,
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to be,
Never had a sense of my responsibility

Back then, I didn't know why, why you were misunderstood
So now, I see through your eyes, all that you did was love
Mama, I love you, Mama, I care
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend
My friend, you're my friend

But now, I'm sure I know why, why you were misunderstood
So now, I see through your eyes, all I can give you is love
Mama, I love you, Mama, I care
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend

The Reason

Nobody's perfect, but you once told me that I'm the perfect girl any man could ever dream of. Those words might ring all the bells and might give any girl the sweetest smile. I could have had that smile if it were in a different situation.

I love watching movies. Actually, any kind of movies will do, but since I'm somewhat mushy, I prefer love stories. I cried over The Notebook, Blue Moon and If Only. Maybe it's because I've been dreaming of having a man love me and treat me like I'm the only girl in the world. But I know that you'll never really have a happily-ever-after story.

Life is not measured by whether you win or lose. It's about fighting in what you believe in. It's true that God gives us chances, but it's really up to us to decide if we'll grab it or just leave it that way. "Bahala na si Lord" or "kung kayo ang para sa isa't isa, kayo pa rin ang magkakatuluyan sa huli". I believe in this sayings, in the past. Things and perspectives change as time goes by. It's an inevitable part of human life. Right now, I believe that if you want to achieve something, you must do your best and exert effort in getting what you value most. Surely, you didn't think that God would spoonfeed you, right?

Nobody's perfect, but you once told me that I'm the perfect girl any man could ever dream of. Those words might ring all the bells and might give any girl the sweetest smile. I could have had that smile if it were in a different situation.

Those words were all that you've said in replace for an explanation that I ought to have.

Leave someone.. you have that right. But the least you can do is tell them why. Because what hurts most is knowing that you're not even worth an explanation.

I really never wished to be that perfect girl for any man. What I just want is to be loved by the man that matters most to me, and would accept me for what I really am even though I'm not the perfect or ideal one.

"Love isn't perfect, it isn't a fairytale or a storybook and it doesn't always come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on and never letting go. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define and impossible to live without. Love is work, but most of all, love is realizing that every hour, every minute and every second was worth it because you did it... together!"

The Reason - Hoobastank

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a resaon for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Memories Left Unsaid

"Everything that happen once can never happen again, but everything that happens twice would surely happen for the third time."

Matapos ang napakatagal na panahon, nasabi ko na rin sa sarili ko na ok na ako. Dumaan ang mga araw, mga linggo at taon ng wala ka sa tabi ko. Nakayanan ko yun, sabi ko pa nga, magiging ok ako kahit wala ka. Marami na rin mga nangyari sa buhay ko nun, marami na rin akong nakilala at may mga nagustuhan din. Pero ewan ko ba kung bakit parang nananadya ang pagkakataon, pinagsama tayo sa iisang okasyon.

Di maiwasan na di tayo mag-usap. No choice kung baga. Naalala ko na naman lahat ng mga alaalang nakalimutan ko na. Nagkatotoo yung "reliving the past". Iniwan mo siya at nagkabalikan tayo.

Masaya ako noon. Ginawa ko ang lahat para maging maayos tayo. Sabi ko nga dati, hindi ako naniniwala sa reconciliation. Para sa akin noon, lahat ng tapos na ay di na dapat pang balikan pa. Pero kinalimutan ko yun. Lahat ng di mo gusto noon, iniwasan ko. Ayoko na kasing maulit ang mga maling nagawa noon. Binigay ko lahat para sa atin dahil naniwala akong tayo talaga ang para sa isa't isa.

Pero nawala ka ulit. Nawala ang pangakong hindi na tayo maghihiwalay pa. Bawat pagkakataon na magkasama tayo, di ko maramdaman na kasama kita. Parang ang layo mo, parang hindi mo ako nakikita. Balewala lang sa'yo ang mga usapan natin. Naiiwan akong nag-iisa at paulit-ulit na naghihintay.

Sinubukan ko ulit bumangon. Pinilit kong ayusing muli ang buhay ko at masanay na naman na wala ka sa tabi ko. Matagal din yun. Pero dumating ka na naman. Humihingi ng isa pang pagkakataon.

"Everything that happen once can never happen again, but everything that happens twice would surely happen for the third time."

Yun ang drama mo. Kung alam mo lang kung gaano ako natuwa nung sinabi mo yun... Pero hindi, hindi ko tinanggap yun kaagad. Sabi ko, siguraduhin mo muna yung nararamdaman mo, baka nabibigla ka lang o napipilitan. Sabi ko sa'yo, magiging ok ako kahit ano pa ang desisyon mo. Sabi ko, mag-aantay ako sa sagot mo.

Pero di mo sinabi yung sagot mo. Nalaman ko lang sa kaibigan ko ang lahat. Sabi pa nga niya, bago niya yun sabihin na wag daw akong iiyak. Di ko alam kung ano dapat kong maging reaksyon, pero hinanda ko ang sarili ko sa maririnig ko. Sabi mo sa kanya, parang nawala na yung pag-ibig mo para sa akin. Na kung gagamitin mo ang isip mo, talagang ako ang pipiliin mo. Bago na naman ang drama mo. "If the feeling is gone" naman.

Tinanggap ko lahat yun. "No hard feelings". Di nga ako umiyak eh. Eh ganun talaga, wala na akong laban dun. Knock-out na. At least, nalaman ko yung totoo. Nalaman ko kung ano ba talaga ako sa'yo. Yun nga lang, sa iba ko pa nalaman. Pero, ok na rin yun, ang mahalaga, matatapos ko na rin ang lahat. Move-on, kailangan eh. Hindi pwedeng habambuhay ma-stuck. Sabi ko sa'yo, tigilan muna natin ang komunikasyon. Tingin ko kasi, mas makabubuti yun sa atin, lalo na sa akin para naman mabigyan ako ng pagkakataon na ayusin ulit buhay ko. Pumayag ka noon. Binura ko ang numero mo sa telepono ko at lahat ng may kaugnayan sa'yo. Pero kahit papano naman, malalaman ko kung ikaw yung nagtext dahil kabisado ko yung mga last digits sa number mo.

Nagsimula na naman ako. This time, totoo na. Nagustuhan ko yung mga pagbabago sa sarili ko. Ngayon, talagang masasabi kong kaya ko lahat. Parang sumailalim ako sa drug rehabilitation. Mabusisi at matagal na panahon ang nilalaan para lang mawala ang epekto ng droga sa sistema. Para kasing naging ganun ka sa akin. Nasanay ako na lagi kang nandiyan. Nasanay ako sa presensya mo.

Tulad ng mga bagong labas sa rehab, nakalaya din ako sa pagkakakulong sa'yo. Nakita kong marami palang nagmamahal sa akin, at ay mga nasasaktan sa tuwing umiiyak ako dahil sa'yo. "The truth will set you free". At dahil dun kaya malaya na ako ngayon.

Pero eto ka na naman. Hindi ko alam kung bakit paulit-ulit kang bumabalik sa tuwing maayos na ang buhay ko. Nagpaparamdam ka na naman. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang motibo mo para muling magbalik. Nagtataka ako kung bakit. Pero isa na lang ang iisipin ko. Pakikipagkaibigan na lang marahil ang dahilan. Hindi na ako mag-iisip pa ng iba. Baka maling interpretasyon na naman ang ibigay ko. Pero kung yun nga ang iniisip mo, wag kang mag-alala, di pa rin nawawala ang pagkakaibigan natin kahit ano pang mangyari.

Kahit ano pa man ang mangyari, alam ko na sa sarili ko kung ano ang kahalagahan ko. Hindi ko na hahayaang masaktang muli ng isang taong walang pakialam sa nararamdaman ko. I deserve to be happy.

"It's always painful to know that someone is irrevocably gone and all that's left are memories of beautiful days gone by. Sometimes, it boggles my mind why people fall in love, then say goodbye; why they cannot belong forever when at first, they can never seem to part...

... but then i realized that after all, maybe they're just not meant to be."
