Because the 14th is a fortnight away

What’s happening on the 14th? Just the usual for me. A Thursday EDL class, enjoying the “provincial” feel of Diliman, and packing for a school immersion trip in Zambales the next day. Happy thought, I’m on leave on the 14th. That week is also when people will converge on the UP Fair, and the day after that my youngest brother will be 18 years old.

Oh yeah! The 14th is that holiday-that-must-not-be-named for singles like me.

So how does it feel to be a dateless wonder again? Hmm. Am I supposed to feel deprived? I don’t miss what I never had for the past quarter century. But hey, at least I got something to anticipate. =)
Disclaimer: I’m not in love. Not yet. I just wish I can write songs too. About love or otherwise. Attempted to write poetry and songs in highschool but they sound  forced, cheesy, and artificial. So I’ll just blog about them. Here is another song I heard while commuting.

Love Song
by Sara Borealis

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder even I know that

You made room for me but it’s too soon to see
If I’m happy in your hands
I’m unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well but you make this hard on me

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘Cause you asked for it
‘Cause you need one you see
I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘Cause you tell me it’s
Make or breaking this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today
Today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under you
And your twisted words your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I’m trying to let you hear me as I am

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘Cause you asked for it
‘Cause you need one you see
I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘Cause you tell me it’s
Make or breaking this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today

Promise me you’ll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight my guide gone
‘Cause I believe there’s a way you can love me because I say

I won’t write you a love song
‘Cause you asked for it
‘Cause you need one you see
I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘Cause you tell me it’s make or breaking this
Is that why you wanted a love song
‘Cause you asked for it
‘Cause you need one you see
I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘Cause you tell me it’s make or breaking this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don’t want it for a minute
Babe I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that there’s a reason to
Write you a love song today
Today
