Ako na ang sappy

Faithfully

Journey

Highway run into the midnight sun

Wheels go round and round

You're on my mind

Restless hearts sleep alone tonight

Sending all my love along the wire

They say that the road ain't the place to start a family

Right down the line it's been you and me

And loving a music (wo)man ain't always what it's supposed to be

Girl

You stand by me

I'm forever yours

Faithfully

Circus life under the big top world

We all need the clowns to make us laugh

Through space and time

Always another show

Wondering where I am, lost without you

And being apart ain't easy on this love affair

Two strangers learn to love again

I get the joy of rediscovering you

Oh, girl

You stand by me

I'm forever yours

Faithfully

I'm still yours

I'm forever yours

Ever yours

Faithfully

I don't know what is it with this song. It gets me every time. And I mean every time! Yeah, sappy as sappy gets. That's yours truly. Sometimes you have to wonder at how some people are so lucky in the love department. Those who end up with their first loves? Or those who need not look? Need not say goodbye? Those who know? Haha. I can only hope. This is one area where you have to be absolute. To not expect, not even wish. Instead, just hope. Anyhoo, I'm supposed to be working on an editing task. But here I am, getting emotional over music (read: procrastinating).

I will be packing in a bit. Flying off a thousand miles away to get gloriously lost in lalaland. I'm a little apprehensive and excited at the same time. There's been talk for a year now about just packing a bag, booking a ticket, getting lost with my thoughts for a while, preferably in a some beach and have nothing to show for but sunburn. Never happened. I got lost in life instead.

I know I could have just forgotten about this trip, re-booked it or something, but hey, what have I got to lose? I'm sure it's going to be interesting and to quote Cecil, "You deserve this, Ta. You need to get away, disappear. And what better place than somewhere you haven't been before?" So true, Chechelia. It would be nice to get away from Makati for a little bit what with its many memories biting my less-than-luscious behind. There will be no forgetting but to forget for a while? Now, that's bliss.

I will deal with the memories (realities?) when I get back. Like I always do. Deal.
