I could remember perfectly on how it used to beWhen we were happy, just you and me
There are things you don't know, but today I'll spill
Those little details I love about you, I'll reveal
...

Attached, I’m too attached
I’m afraid that at any time I just might crash
Fallen, I’ve fallen so hard
You’re far away but you have my heart
...

It wasn’t that easy, because I was the first
I was that newborn baby, crying due to thirst
They gave me the name my friends call me today
Ever since then, I promised not to bring them any dismay
...

I sit here as I envision my future life
On what it’s like if I didn’t have you with me by my side
Your existence still brings me something to marvel
On what good thing I did that night, I’ll just sit here and ponder
...

What I didn’t get to know you, what could life be
If I didn’t have you, what could be in store for me
What if we remained friends, will I be happy
What if all of of this didn’t happen, will I be sorry
...

Aren’t you lucky to be who you are today
Consider yourself blessed even if things go astray
Know that many people wish they were in your shoes
You, who could eat three times a day, but still feeling a bit confused
...

As one takes a step further, he can assess
That the life he currently has is such a mess
Turning the tables, he decided to do
Everything that is impossible just to prove to you
...

It may seem bizarre at first, but people do
Change for what is better, seeing it is up to you
What once was happy, a life flaming with fire
Turned into a dark cloud with no more desire
...

I remember it clearly, how all things went right
It was the 17th of November, once upon a midnight
You invited me for coffee, I even joked if it was for free
Suddenly, everything fell into place like it was meant to be
...

I never would want to see you walk away
I'd probably hold you so tight just so you'll stay
Imagining it now makes me feel so weak
Ever since we started, I know you're the one I want to keep
...

Sometimes I stare at you but you never see
When you’re watching TV or preparing food for me
Sometimes I get annoyed at you when we eat
Because of the too much rice you put in discreet
...

Minutes turn to days and days turn to weeks
Since the last time I saw you as you speak
I didn’t want to let go of your hand that very day
But we have no choice for that is the price we have to pay
...

You planned it, you planned it from the start
All the things we’d do as soon as you’ll have my heart
Days went really fast and we were there
In a secluded, wonderful island with breezy air
...

It started special, it started right
When my phone lit up and I saw it was my guy
A Facebook post, a picture too
Those things welcomed my January 2
...

I really love the way you say hello
I love the feeling when I see your name on my computer window
Boy, you make me feel special in every way
Words can't express, but I'll just say what I have to say
...

It was Tuesday night and I still remember well
I can recount the things we said and happily, I dwell
Because on that fateful night, things had turned
To something amazing in which today I yearn.
...

Let us not go back to the past
Please prove to me that this will last
The memories of us being ‘just friends’ before
Have occurred and it made me remember once more
...
