could have beens

"You don't love me?" I asked.

He had sadness in his eyes, as if ashamed of what I just figured out. He didn't say anything, but he didn't have to.

"It's okay... I don't love you either."

We laughed. Feeling silly of what we just said to each other. Instead of the normal 'I love yous' of couples, we said the exact same opposite.

"But we are so right for each other," he said with a hint of desolation in his smile.

"I know, right?" I agreed. "I think for my part, there was just this huge urge for me to take care of you."

He touched my face and kissed my lips.

"But...""It's okay," I interrupted.Silence. He looked at me as though he wanted to hug me. Comfort me. Let me know that I'm going to be okay... Frankly, I am.

"Is there someone else?" I asked finally. I know I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I didn't.

"Well..." He looked down.

"Really?" I jumped up, curious. "Who? The girl from..."

"Uhhhh..."

"Come-on," I punched his arm slightly. "Who is she?"

"I'd rather not talk about her," he said smiling. "What about you? Is there someone else?"I looked down, the smile disappearing slowly.

"No," I said softly. "But there's a dream of someone else..."

I got this from menasha's blog. it sort of reminded me of a conversation i've had a few weeks ago. similar in so many ways. yet the girl in the story was brave enough to ask. or yet she had an inkling. where as i was clueless.

anyway what date is it today? this day could have been something special.

joy told me my entries are always sad. is it? i would also have wanted to post something happy but then again this is what's happening to me.

naka smile naman ako lagi ah... :)

  2. BATHWATER
    No DOubt


    Oh yes I'm guilty
    You and your museum of lovers
    The precious collection you've housed in your covers
    My simpleness threatened by my own admission

    And the bags are much too heavy
    In my insecure condition
    My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again

    But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
    Love to think that you couldn't love another
    I can't help it...you're my kind of man

    Wanted and adored by attractive women
    Bountiful selection at your discretion
    I know I'm diving into my own destruction

    So why do we choose the boys that are naughty?
    I don't fit in so why do you want me?
    And I know I can't tame you...but I just keep trying

    'Cause I love to wash in your old bathwater
    Love to think that you couldn't love another
    I'm on your list with all your other women
    But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
    You make me feel like I couldn't love another
    I can't help it...you're my kind of man

    Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?

    So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
    Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble
    Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions

    'Cause I still love to wash in your old bathwater
    Love to think that you couldn't love another
    Share a toothbrush...you're my kind of man
    I still love to wash in your old bathwater
    Make me feel like I couldn't love another
    I can't help it...you're my kind of man

    No I can't help myself
    I can't help myself
    I still love to wash in your old bathwater

  4. You give your hand to me
    And then you say hello
    And I can hardly speak
    My heart is beating so
    And anyone can tell
    You think you know me well
    But you don't know me

    No you don't know the one
    Who dreams of you at night
    And longs to kiss your lips
    Longs to hold you tight
    Oh I am just a friend
    That's all I've ever been
    Cause you don't know me

    I never knew the art of making love
    No my heart aches with love for you
    Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
    The chance that you might love me too

    You give your hand to me
    And then you say goodbye
    I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
    Oh you will never know
    The one who loves you so
    Well you don't know me

    You give your hand to me
    And then you say goodbye
    I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
    Oh you will never know
    The one who loves you so
    Cause you don't know me
    Oh no you don't know me
    Oohh...you don't know me
