Lunch with Friends Set 2 (March 30, 2008)

grabe! last time na nagkita kami ni steph, september 2006 pa. we had a lot of catching up to do, mainly on my part. =) she treated me to chef d' angelo. sabi ko treat ko e, pero late daw kasi siya kaya treat niya. sabi ko ok lang yun, kasi kung di siya na-late, di ko nakita yung harbound book sa national na 50 pesos lang. =)

we had 4 cheese pizza, buffalo wings and cheesy fries.

super thanks steph, next time treat ko na talaga. =P

Of Love, Life and Other Matters....

Have you ever heard of this quote?

"Life's greatest illusion is that we are alone. We aren't. We are connected to people we have met and have yet to meet. The links may be hard to see, but they are there nonetheless. So, reach out and don't be surprised when someone reaches back."

No? Probably because I was the one who created it. For a time, I felt so alone (this coincided with the breakup, almost 2 years ago). I was unable to realize that I never was, that there were people reaching out to me and trying their best to support me. There was a reason for this, I was emotionally immature for quite sometime because I was emotionally sheltered by her. It wasn't until the latter part of last year for me to grow up and realize that there are things I had no control over.

I also realized that there were a lot of people that I used to spend a lot of time with previously, but for one reason or another I haven't been with them for quite some time. That's why I'm reaching out to the people who matter in my life. Rekindling friendships that have been stagnant for some time (This coincides with the photo sets I'm creating entitled "Lunch with Friends").

As for love, I'm patiently waiting for her answer. I'm not in any hurry right now.

As for life, I'm enjoying it right now. I'm taking things as they are.

THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES

I’ll never forget the day the first time you placed your hand in mine
We weren’t lovers then; we were still just good friends
While shopping you suddenly grabbed my arm; the feeling was sublime
I wanted time to stop then; for that moment to never end

There was also the first time I kissed your lips
If I’m not mistaken, I think I kind of stole that one
We agreed that I could only kiss you on the cheeks
But halfway I changed my mind; I didn’t follow the plan

There were the times I could read what was on your mind
I completed your sentences before you even finished speaking
You always asked how I did that; if I used a trick of some kind
Never gave you an answer; love made me know what you were thinking

There was the time we had our first fight
We both assumed things the other did that weren’t true
Tears were flowing so hard that night
We made up then and promised not to make the other blue

There was also the time you finally said “Yes”
That was both the happiest and most frightening event of my life
Tense were the moments as my courage was put to the test
But after hearing your answer everything was then all right

There was also the first time you got so jealous and angry
I was talking with a classmate of ours about a movie the night before
You gave the cold shoulder for about 20 minutes; I learned my lesson quickly
I knew then how much I meant to you; I knew then I’d love you forevermore

There was the time you made me wait for about 3 hours
You were finishing up a project at your best friend’s place
I diligently waited; counting the passing jeeps and cars
You apologized for forgetting about the time; I said it was ok

There was the day you lost the gift I gave you down the drain
You were so scared that I would get mad, it took time for you to tell me
I said then you were more important than a trinket that plain
I won’t forget how you were initially sad and then you became happy

There were more memories and not all of them happy ones
But I’ll forever cherish each and every one of them still
Thanks for each moment we spent till the magic was gone
Thanks for all the memories; Thanks for the love, sorrows and thrills

THERE WERE (from verse 6)

There were highs; there were lows; there was full blown romance
There were tears; there were smiles when we both took a chance
There were disagreements; there were make ups during our run
There were moments of silence; there were moments of fun

There were ups; there were downs; there was mutual love
There were sorrows; there were laughter; we were the only ones we thought of
There were accusations; there were compromises we alluded to
There was whiteness; there was grayness; there were also blues

There were hits, there were misses; there was passion
There were slaps; there were hugs; there were good intentions
There was shouting; there was courting; we gave it our best
There were answers; there were questions as we were put to the test

There were bumps; there was smooth sailing; there was faithfulness
There were promises made; there were vows forgotten as we strove for happiness
There were truths; there were lies; we didn’t always see eye to eye
There was heat; there was cold; we tried and tried

There was good; there was bad; there were understandings
There were demands; there were give-ins within this undertaking
There were realities; there were fantasies; sometimes the lines blurred
There were pluses; there were minuses; there were hurts incurred

 There was trust; there were doubts; there was magic
There were reasons; there were excuses as life became tragic
There were hellos; there were goodbyes; there were words left unspoken
There was me; there was you; that’s all that was left when our bond was broken

Is It To Much To Ask...

I was reorganizing my room last night...

I happen to come by some of our stuff...

I know we ended a year and a half ago...

I also know we were for six and a half years...

Can't there be a silver lining to this sad ending...

Is it too much to ask for friendship?

I've tried reaching out...

Yet they fell of deaf ears...

I just don't want the years to go down the drain...

Can't you at least give me this?

Am I asking too much?
