It's in Tagalog, as everyone from the Philippines knows something about the song. It's a particularly melodious tone, played acoustic style, with lyrics that describe one's raw affectionate emotions for someone ...for 2 nights in a row, I tried to get to listen to it on YouTube. I remembered the song, after reading a friend's profile. Something was wrong with YouTube last night, but tonight, I got to listen to it, finally, gratefully.
Tears were soon flowing down my eyes. I could just cry, as memories unfolded in my mind, and I freely went along with my emotions showing. I remember my partner who's in the Philippines. I just feel so lonely, just so lonely, now that it's in the low 40s here in NYC; it's just getting colder. I know this is gonna be over soon. I know I'll be better sometime. Thank God!
On the steps I've taken to make life at past age 40 more meaningful, purposeful. Plus the occasional rants, and raves!
