The Perfect Boyfriend

Gives me a big tshirt of his to sleep in.
Leaves me cute text messages.
Kisses me in front of his friends.
Tells me I look beautiful.
Looks into my eyes when he talks to me.
Lets me mess with his hair.
Just walks around with me.
Forgives me for my mistakes.
Looks at me like I'm the only girl he sees.
Holds my hand when he's around his friends and in private.
Lets me fall asleep in his arms.
Stays up all night with me when I'm sick.
Watches my favorite movie with me.
Comes up and grabs me by the waist.
Doesn't talk about other girls around me. [Because if he loves me, no one else should matter]
Hangs out with me when I'm sad.
Lets me know I'm important.
Kisses me in the pouring rain.
Tells me when he falls in love with me.
Loves me like he's never loved anyone before.
Answers my phone calls no matter what.

When she walks away from you mad...Follow her!

When she stare's at your mouth...Kiss her!

When she pushes you or hit's you...Grab her and dont let go!

When she start's yelling at you...Kiss her and tell her you love her!

When she's quiet...Ask her what's wrong!

When she ignore's you...Give her your attention!

When she pull's away...Pull her back!

When you see her at her worst...Tell her she's beautiful!

When you see her start crying...Just hold her and don't say a word!

When you see her walking...Sneak up and hug her waist from behind!

When she's scared...Protect her!

When she lay's her head on your shoulder...Tilt her head up and kiss her!

When she steal's your favorite hat...Let her keep it and sleep with it for a night!

If you REALLY love her...

Stay on the phone with her even if shes not saying anything.
When she's mad hug her tight and don't let go.
When she says she's OK don't believe it, talk with her - because 10 yrs later she'll remember you.
Call her at 12:00am on her birthday to tell her you love her.
Call her before you sleep and after you wake up.
Treat her like she's all that matters to you.
Tease her and let her tease you back.
Stay up all night with her when she's sick.
Watch her favorite movie with her or her favorite show even if you think its stupid.
Give her the world.
Let her wear your clothes.
When she's bored and sad, hang out with her.
Let her know she's important.
Kiss her in the pouring rain.
When she runs up at you crying, the first thing you say is; Who's butt am I kicking today baby?

A Poem for Glenn

There was a time when I was in doubt and hurtin'
Then you came and brought the sunshine in.
You came and gave me a something to look forward to each day,
With just one swish of a wand, you took all the pain away.

Your simple ways and sweetness makes me smile
It made all the wait worthwhile;
Now I know there won't be any sad moment anymore...
For I hope to be with you forevermore.

Brighter than Sunshine...

My darker days are definitely over... the dawn has come, and now love is shining brighter than sunshine.

Yes, the wait is finally over.... I finally found him, or should I say he found me? What the heck, we found each other at the right time, at the most unusual place.

I was trying to think of a title to this post... even asking him for a suggestion. Then it hit me... Brighter than sunshine. This is actually a song by aqualung; it also happens to be one of his songs for me....

Lemme quote a few phrases from the song:

I never saw it happening
I'd given up and given in
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling

I didn't have the strength to fight
Suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine.

I met Glenn at a certain forum site (it's actually a free ad site), sulit.com.ph. I met him at a time when I was doubting my capacity to enter into a commitment. But I guess, love has found its way to  me, to us. Everything happened so fast yet spontaneous. Everything fell into place and it felt so right... like the only place I want to be in is in his arms...

It's true, love comes when you least expect it... I've dated a lot of guys but never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that the person I will love and who have come to love me will be someone I met online...  I've always been fascinated of the movie "You've got mail" (starring meg ryan and tom hanks), but I never thought it would happen to me! lolz

To wrap this post up, yes folks! I'm finally inlove... I don't want to make any promises but we both agreed to do our best to make this work... one day at time...

Babe, thank you for being there... for finding me at the right time, at the same time, when I found you. Thanks for catching me... when I fell in love with you....

I love you!

Almost Over You

Lemme first share this quote from a song:

"You're such a sly one with your cold, cold heart
Maybe leavin' came easy, but it tore me apart...
Time heals all wounds they say and I should know
Coz it seems like forever, but I'm letting you go..."

Now I'm almost over you... why almost? Coz everytime I go the places we've been through, I still find myself smiling for a few mins... and hurting the next... the pain you caused me comes rushing back... wishing that never happened.

I got the news the other day... that you'r back in my world... didn't know what to do... in case I bumped into you. The news was enough to get me restless... but seeing your picture now tore my heart all over again...

What really went wrong that time? Until now I can't seem to understand what went wrong... I still have no proper explanation why you're no longer in my arms...

But don't worry... time will soon heal the wound you left... just a little bit more time... and I'll be as good as knew. I may have turned into the emotionless bitch that I am now, thanks to you, but it's my best deffense against guys like you who have no other intention but to hurt me....

I have found someone special now... I'd like to enjoy the friendship, savor every moment, treasure the smiles... hoping each time that he doesn't turn out to be like you... Guess I'm a bit scared, apprehensive...

I know I'm almost over you...

Just a little bit more time....

Almost

Tamia - Almost

Tamia

[Verse 1]
Can you tell me
How can one miss what she's never had
How could I reminisce when there is no past
How could I have memories of being happy with you boy
Could someone tell me how can this be
How could my mind pull up incidents
Recall dates and times that never happened
How could we celebrate a love that's to late
And how could I really mean the words I'm bout to say

[Chorus]
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you

[Verse 2]
I cannot believe I let you go
Or what I should say I should've grabbed you up and never let you go
I should've went out with you
I should've made you my boo boy
Yes that's one time I should've broke the rules
I should've went on a date
Should've found a way to escape
Should've turned a almost into
If it happened now its to late
How could I celebrate a love that wasn't real
And if it didn't happen why does my heart feel

[Chorus]
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you

[Verse 3]
(sometimes I wanna rub ya, some nights I wanna hug ya)
And you seem to be the perfect one for me
You (some nights I wanna touch ya but tonight I wanna love ya)
You're all that I ever wanted
And you're my everything yes its true
Boy its hard to be close to you
My love
I know it may sound crazy
But I'm in love with you

[Chorus]
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you

I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there (sometimes I wanna rub ya)
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time and reminisce (but tonight I wanna love ya)
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said its impossible to miss when you never had
Never, never almost had you (but tonight I wanna love ya)

Ready or not...

I'm at a point in my life now here I'm starting to like certain guys... sometimes I learn to like them more than I should. Even fell in love with someone. At least I think I do love him... though not that much, he's special to me. To cut the long story short, he became my boyfriend.

Paul is different from all the guys I met and dated. And it's not hard to love the person. He's someone every girl would dream to have; he's sort of good looking (at least a lot of girls think so), sweet, sensitive, no pretentions, and a hopeless romantic... what can I say? He swept me off my feet. But now I feel like I'm drowning in this commitment; I feel suffocated.. with all the do's and dont's...

It made me stop and think... Am I ready for this? Or did I let my emotions get ahead of me? Last time I checked, I knew I was ready... but why am I having second thoughts now? Now that I finally found someone who made me "his everything and his forever"?

Why am I starting to compare him to my ex? In terms of career and maturity... he still has a lot to learn... but I guess I can't have everything, right? I don't want to let him go; but I can't stand being in a commitment with him as well...

What am I supposed to do? I don't want to hurt his feelings but I can't afford to get hurt as well...

Guess I have to find an answer to this question soon.... Am I ready... or not?

The Pain of Moving On

I came across this poem - or probably just a simple message - while I was browsing the net. And the message caught my attention. It describes my exact emotions at that time... an emotion I didn't want to entertain. Anyways, lemme share it with you..

For a heart that 's been torn,
There's not much you can do but to understand.
Remember these words?
"Don't worry I will free you, when it's finally time for you to go..."
There's no easy way to let go of something that I know will never happen again
But I will face the world around me knowing that I am strong enough to let you go.
I'm aware that you only came into my life for a while,
And that time will come I have to give you up;
Then that's the end of it;
There goes my life.

You left me at the very moment that I can't give you up...
I cry for the memories, I cry for the pain;
I cry for the times I thought I had you...

Wish you see the tears run from my eyes
Coz it spells the truth about how I really feel inside...
Don't worry, my tears won't blame you...
Those are just the words my heart uses to explain,
When even my smiles can't cover up my pain...

It's been a while, still I can't get out from your shadow;
Til this very moment I'm still trying ti pick up those pieces...
Thank you for the love and the pain,
The pain that I'll always remember...

Even now, my heart still aches in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
One day I can say...
Finally I'M OVER YOU...

You are still with me ,
Even though you're not on my side.
One day, I will be able to stand next to you
Without wanting to hold your hand....

Somewhere down my journey,
I will fall in love again,
I know... I can...

Here I Go Again...

It's been a while since I posted a blog...  But why is it this time, I feel uncomfortable writing about my feelings? Coz no matter how hard I try to deny it, it's coz of my pride... I know, you've been reading my blogs... and this time, I don't want you to know about my feelings... that I'm back at it again... even just for a day... Here I go again...

Maybe it's because I've been watching the raindrops on my windowpane, or maybe it's how gloomy the sky looked when I went out earlier... whatever it is, I'm back at it again... so here I go again...

Here I go again... wondering about you for the first time in weeks... missing you, reminiscing the days I still had your heart... and I look back still with a smile... what we had was indeed uniquely special... and now, with tears in my eyes, I still can't see what went wrong... why you're no longer here in my arms...

I dunno if this feeling was brought about by a sad experience I recently had about letting go of someone who was never mine... It somehow made me wonder if I really fell for that person because of who he is, or did I fall for the idea that finally I found someone I could possibly have a relationship with? But I knew from the start that he could never be mine...

So here I go again... trying to fight the feeling of being hurt, of being wretched. Afflicted by unfortunate circumstances.

I never thought I'd be feeling this way so soon.... but heck, I just wish that it would soon be gone; as sudden as it came.
