The scenic view of Boracay’s sunset relaxes ones' mood, something you wanted not to end. Like that of a relationship you desperately holding on to, knowing that the end of it will be the end of your life too. We were holding each other’s hand while watching the sun set, reflecting on what life would bring us, like tides of the Bora sea, interminably moving-the shore, unmindful of what it would bring.
Would you love me forever? You asked.
Of course, till the end. I replied.
The cool summer breeze brings thoughts of yesterdays’ dreams. It is almost dark now. I lit a cigarette in hoping to calm down the heavy beating of my heart, in which I didn’t exactly know why. She gently moved near me, leaning on my shoulder as she sang a song, a song that reminded us both of how perfect ours almost become. Her song blended in with the sound of the tides along the shore.
It felt like spring time on this February morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
I’m still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carried them with me today
Now
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I’m far away
I’ll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
Thoughts of how we first met came to my mind. Of how we really connected to each other instantly. How her every smile brightens my day. Each word she would say were like an angel’s song meant to praise Heaven’s glory. I then bowed my head down trying to look at her but she were staring blankly at the sea.
I wonder why I feel so high
Though I am not above the sorrow
Heavy hearted
Till you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train
On a summer evening
I’ll run to meet you
Barefoot barely breathing
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I’m far away
I’ll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
I tried to utter a word, but I just ended up speechless. I didn’t know if it’s because of the romantic atmosphere or the faint Latin music playing from the pub behind us. The powdery sand on my feet calmed me. I told her I never wanted this moment ever to end.
It’s not too near for me
Like a flower I need the rain
Though it’s not clear to me
Every season has it’s change
And I will see you
When the sun comes out again
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I’m far away
I’ll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
The sea, the sand, the stars, I would like to believe that they conspires us to be together… forever. But sometimes we have to be apart from each other because of certain issues, of other people whom we love, of love whom we embrace. Our fears, our dreams, our hopes set off along with the sun. And all we have is the moment we're sharing together. She taught me to love, to believe in myself... she taught me to trust. She taught me to be responsible and to be grateful of what I have. By that, i thank her for making my life a very meaningful one.
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I’m far away
I’ll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
When the sun comes out again
I will wake up happy
This I pray
