In my college years, I stayed with my aunt who had a son. Since we were of the same age, Ben and I always hang out together. He would strum his guitar (which he was very good at) and I would always be the singer. As all music lovers have, he has a collection of songbooks which I always use in our little gigs.
One day, I happened to come across this song. I was so struck with the title that when I read the lyrics, I instantly fell in love with it. Since no one knew it's melody and Youtube wasn't the fad then, it was only about a year ago that I finally learned how to sing it.
Well I must admit, I'm a hopeless romantic. They say that's what you get when you read too much books. Maybe there is a truth in that but I would like to justify: I came across the song at a stage when I was really idealistic. But to be fair to myself, I would say that it's still the cry of my heart. No im not "very" idealistic now. I don't have this notion of a knight in shining armor. Basta magka sinabot lang mi. And of course, he should be someone with principles that I'd be willing to respect and support and to whom I can share my brilliant or stupid ideas with without him goggling at me like I'm from a different planet. As my friend puts it, someone who can actually tame us.
I have yet to meet him. Or have I already? I don't know. I guess I will never know until I'm a hundred percent sure. For the mean time, I'll just enjoy this roller coaster ride.
