If i knew

If I knew it would be the last time
That I’d see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say “I love you,”
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there’s always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say “I love you,”
And certainly there’s another chance
to say our “Anything I can do?”

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I’d like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you’re waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you’ll surely regret the day,

That you didn’t take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you’ll always hold them dear

Take time to say “I’m sorry,”
“Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.”
And if tomorrow never comes,
you’ll have no regrets about today.

May nagemail sa akin nito at siguro dahil pakiramdam ko ay pagsisisihan ko kapag hindi ko naayos ang lahat sa isang tao. Nakipagusap ako sa aking ex, nagkaliwanagan at nagkaayos bago magpasko. Subalit gaya ng aking nabanggit, nagkahiwalay din kami ng landas at masaya na sa aming mga sariling buhay.

Who comes first to your mind?

There was this guy who loved two gals at the same time but he didn’t know which one he loved more. Someone taught him. Ask yourself this question and answer it honestly: “When you are happy, which gal would you want to share your happiness with?” The one you think of is someone you love.

Ask yourself another question and answer it honestly: “When you are sad, which gal you want to share your burden with?” The one you think of is also someone you love.

If you think of the same gal when you are happy & sad, that’s the most perfect. But if you don’t think of the same gal, I would advise you to choose the one you are willing to share your sadness with. In life, there are more sorrows than happiness. There are too many people whom you can share your happiness with, not necessarily your lover.

If you live your life happily, you can also enjoy it alone. In sadness, however, there are not many people willing to share your burden with you. If you are willing to tell someone your happiness, I am sure that person has got to be someone close & an understanding person to you.

But it shouldn’t stop there. If that person only thinks of you when she is happy, but looks for someone else when she is sad, this lover is too unstable, she doesn’t treat you as someone she can spend the rest of her life with.

Of course, I will be very happy if I am the first person to share her happiness. But, if she is sad, I will be too willing to stay by her side & ease her pain. Only then, will I believe that I hold a very important position in her heart.

If you are sad, who comes to your mind first?

Friendship is a strange thing. We find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our lives … things we don’t even share with the families who raised us. But what is a friend? A confidant? A shoulder to cry on? An ear to listen? A heart to feel? A friend is all these … and more. No matter where we met, no matter how long we’ve been together … I call you friend. A word so small, yet so large in feeling, a word filled with emotion, a word overflowing with love. Truly great things come in small packages. Once the package of friendship has been opened, it can never be closed. It is a constant book always waiting … waiting to be read…and enjoyed. We may have our disagreements … we may have our appointments….We may argue … we may have concern for one another…friendship is a unique bond that lasts through all tribulations. A part of each of us goes into our friendships … our humor … our experiences ..our tears.

Who comes first to your mind?

Bagong Tahanan

Kung saan saan na ako napunta at kung saan saan blogs na rin ako nagpost. Gusto kong magsulat ng magsulat at nais ko ito sa wikang tagalong. Naalala ko ang kablog kong si Nei at masaya pa ang buhay noon dahil simple lang kaming mga nagbloblog. Naiintindihan naming ang kung anu-anong emosyon na meron kami. Hindi ganun kakomplikado. Simple lang ang buhay dati kahit marami kaming problema.

Nagpasya akong lumipat ng site kasi gusto kong magsulat ng MALAYA.

Ang mga susunod na mga posts na may mga ibang petsa ay galing sa aking lumang blog na tatanggalin ko na dahil sa mga pribadong pangyayari. Sabi nga ng isang kakilala ko, mahirap magpanggap na masaya…

Hindi ito Emo blog. Pramis. Ito’y koleksyon ng mga samu’t saring damdamin na nais kong ibahagi sa inyo.

Sana’y may matutunan tayong lahat.
