The Number For Every Single Hour

June 14th isn't just another day
But for her it's one she can have her way
For the number is the hour
Come now come twenty four
This is not just a number
Not just one you write on paper

I remember back in two thousand
I felt like I was on an island
As if I was running a mile
When I was trying to make her smile

Eight years now down the road
She is still far abroad
Not that it really makes a difference
I still live by that reminiscense

So here I am, Darling
The one and only I am missing
I wish this could be more special
Rather than getting just a mail
For one day I want to celebrate with you this occasion
Not just once but every single season
There's more than two words I want to say
The first being Happy 24th Birthday
The rest is how truly madly deeply
You made my life such a memory
I just want to put that smile back on you
And tell you that, I love you.

The One Between Reality And Fantasy

You say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean
Maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past
There's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a week
And there's no promises of peace or of happiness


Well is this why you cling to every little thing
And polverize and derrange all your senses
Maybe life is a song but you're scared to song along
Until the very ending


Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
Ideas that strengthen who we've been
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
From the chains and shackles that they're in


Oh, tell me what good is saying that you're free
In a dark and storming sea
You're chained to your history, you're surely sinking fast
You say that you know that the good Lord's in control
He's gonna bless and keep your tired and oh so restless soul
But at the end of the day when every price has been paid
You're gonna rise and sit beside him on some old seat of gold
And won't you tell me why you live like you're afraid to die
You'll die like you're afraid to go


Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
Ideas that strengthen who we've been
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
From chains and shackles that they're in
From the chains and shackles that they're in


Well life is a dream 'cause we're all walking in our sleep
You could see us stand in lines like we're dead upon our feet
And we build our house of cards and then we wait for it to fall
Always forget how strange it is just to be alive at all

The Distance

If there's one credo that I no longer believe, it would be the possibility of a long distance relationship. Once a firm believer of the creed, I now join the relationship cynics. Welcome me into the bandwagon.

You might ask why the U-turn. My answer is simple. I've tasted, felt and smelt the agony of such a relationship. And the outcome did not co-exist with my belief.

So when you told me that you're planning to come back, I was nothing but thrilled. Thrilled that a dream I never thought I would ever live to see, is realizing. No doubt there's a lot of ambiguities and uncertainties, but that would only be the substance that is going to add some flavor into the word "life".

So, this is the selfish me saying, please, come back soon.
