Let Me (999 Wonders)

I wonder how you sleep.
With all the traffic in your head
And the crossroads in your heart
The choices you’ve made
Thinking there is no turning back
The difference we thought we needed
All for the glory of now
Not for the long run

I wonder how you breathe.
With all this scarcity of love
This fake world we’re living
Time wasted on wrong reasons
Everything jaded
Then you crumble

I wonder how you weep.
Does the leak make things softer?
How much heavier can you go on?
Does the world really care?
You wonder
If ever you could go back
When will you start?

I want you to remember
I want you to break free!
I want you…to get over
Wonder how beautiful you can be
Now lay it down…
I’ll always be with you
Here and now
I’ll pull you high enough

Be your savior!
Be your saviour!
I will be
You’ve been my savior…
Will not fail this time

I started thinking, just like what happened with Jeff, very similar indeed. He started confirming why he's sticking with me. He reminded me to stop counting the days and enjoy that we're together. I think his way of showing me that he likes me is seeing me everyday for dinner. Though i heard him said, "ano bang napapala ko pag pumupunta ko sayo? Kahit pagod ako nagpupunta pa din ako. Dapat maapreciate mo yun." I am not sure what that means but i just w...

The Mid-Year Crisis

I call it Mid-Year Crisis. And literally, this happens in the middle of the year. Have you been here: Anxious about the status of your career Panicky about your financial status which is directly correlated to your, uhuh, Career Forced to get married in the next two years because you're not getting any younger Fretting over time lost where you feel you've been completely unproductive yet you feel so tired and restless Pushing the panic button because at this month, you haven't really achieved anything from the goals you have listed at the start of this year Felt so alone and no one cares to listen because (a) You're too embarrassed to tell any of your friends (b) You know from past experiences that your friends won't care (c) They are also experiencing the same crisis Bring down the curtain and wind up that it is really hard to be successful in this life and it's just so hard to achieve your dreams so you better look for an alternative, Uhhmm, letting yourse...
