I loved you; and perhaps I love you still, The flame, perhaps, is not extinguished; Yet it burns so quietly within my soul, No longer should you feel distressed by it.
Silently and hopelessly I loved you, At times too jealous and at times too shy. God grant you find another who will love you As tenderly and truthfully as I.
I was "watching malaala mo kaya" earlier before going to work and I was late because of it (Don't ask me why). There was nothing great about the acting nor the predictable storyline and truth was I don't even really watch the show but this time around I did and it's just for the simple fact that they were telling a love story.
While I was watching it I was thinking that it has been quite sometime since I've felt that feeling and maybe I was hoping that by watching that show that somehow I could get a glimpse of it and remember how it felt.
And yeah I also do beleive that love never ends. Those people that you've been with before, if you really did love them then you've never really stopped loving them, you're just loving them in a different way now. ^_^
yup got that same feeling. i wanted to sleep but somehow i got drawn to that episode. there was nothing novel about the story. i felt how nice it was to have that kind of innocent, "first-time-to-fall-in-love" feeling. i slept hoping that i would dream of my first love.
I think its being slowly ripped away from something that you loved. I mean if plane rides were instantaneous, nothing on the ride could possibly affect you that much. I was on a plane home, a four hour flight, when Osaka Rainy Blues played. I was already familiar with the song, hearing it on the radio and stuff, but I didn't know a single word to it considering it was Kansai-ben and I know marginal Nipponggo. I must have listened to that music feed for the entire flight waiting for Osaka Rainy Blues. Then, I keow what it was about, being in love and not having that anymore. In relationships, a slow, drawn out separation only makes it more significant; like savoring a lemon. It honors the end of a part of your life. Eventually, the taste of the lemon will be gone from your mouth, but your face will always remember the crumpling it made biting into that sour fruit.
i've heard some really awesome asian pop songs on the plane, but i never did figure out the titles or the artists. frustrating.
the thing about eating lemons is that we can throw it away once we're done with it. in relationships, it would be much simpler if there was an object as tangible as that which we can discard when we've decided to, instead of waiting for whatever it is that's inside us to rot or fade away. there's no actual control. many days, i still feel like my last relationship hasn't ended for me yet. if i had that lemon skin, i'd have already thrown it away, trampled on it and burned it.
sabi nung kauna unahang ex ko... "mahal kita... hindi kita minahal... kasi ang pagmamahal laging nandyan. parte ng buhay mo...." or sumthin like that. i duno if it's the same thing, but i think i have an idea of what you're talkin about.
well, i would think love has to begin somewhere. the idea that someone loves you even before he met you is just too far-out for me. but yeah i think i know what your ex meant, that love, when it's real, becomes an unshakable part of your life.
i used to tell my ex, "mahal pa kita" and then he'd act up all crazy because he said the "pa" suggests that someday i'd stop loving him. i guess he's right. there's no such thing as "mahal pa kita". i realize this only now.
haha. i didn't think ben folds was so hot with my gay brothers. i've always thought he was more the ladies' type. the sensitive guy with a sense of humor and a brilliant mind. he's fucking sweet to the core. not your stereotypical gay fantasy. but i'd marry him.

The flame, perhaps, is not extinguished;
Yet it burns so quietly within my soul,
No longer should you feel distressed by it.
Silently and hopelessly I loved you,
At times too jealous and at times too shy.
God grant you find another who will love you
As tenderly and truthfully as I.
