.........

Sometimes I dread the night, because what comes with it is fright.
It's not because of the absence of light, it's the thoughts that don't take flight.

I try my best not to think of you, but when I close my eyes it's just you through and through.
My friends tell me to start something new, but for some odd reason I just don't share the same views.

I stay up at night remembering how it felt, when you sat on the roof and beside you i knelt.
They say you have to live with the hand that you're dealt, but a few words from you and for sure I know I'll melt.

Some singers sing about being shattered, I feel what they feel because deep down inside I'm battered.
People chase after you like sheep following the herd, how the heck am I supposed to contend when I know I'm just another nerd.

Maybe it's a battle that I just can't win, but I don't want to leave just yet til the credits say fin.
Most people would solve this with a bottle of gin, I on the other hand just try my best to keep it in.

More often than not I feel ridiculously confused, each and every day this predicament grows frustratingly obtuse.
It doesn't matter if I come up with a strategy or a ruse, it's as hopeless as squeezing a lemon hoping for a little bit of apple juice.

I don't know what to think anymore, so I write this in the guise of humor.
To me you're still all that I adore, or maybe like what the spanish say, this I think is amor.

  2. how can someone as good looking as you (hint #1 gorgeous jock in fm) be so sad? You know what? Talk to your married friends, and they'd tell you how lucky you are for being single! horror kaya ang may asawa :D

  6. How can any lady not (at least) like you, Gino?

    Oh well, if it has some explanation hope you share it dear, ok?

    For now, continue playing your video games, annoying Fran (hi, Fran... peace!) but most of all, write, write, write... spill your thoughts and your heart's desires. Who knows? The girl you're referring to might just have a change of heart.

    *wink-wink*

    Good luck ;)
