Oh well

while preparing the things i need for school tomorrow i chanced upon my old CD collection. I started listening to them and thus began my nostalgic walk down memory lane. some of these CD's were momentos of love gone by, or high school triumphs, some were souveneirs from weddings others were just a mixtape of all the songs i liked to dance to. 

in a few months time ill be graduating. ending yet another chapter of my life and beginning anew at something. in three months time ill be saying good bye to the academic days i have come to know for a better part of my 20 year existence. by april, by my birthday next year, i will be considered an adult of this society having reveived a bachelor's degree and new expectations will be set. i still dont know what life after college will be like. many of my friends have their paths set for them: masters, law school, family business, travelling, etc. me? I have a clean slate. there still isnt anything written in stone and the tomorrow which seems daunting is a dawn to a brighter adventure. 

the nostalgia i feel at the moment is the kind of emotion evoked when one looks at the days gone past and the journey travelled. my college days were the happiest and most eye opening so far. it made me experience what it's like to study in a co educational sytem, how to sing as a pregnant girl friend in a broadway production, travel out of town without the parentals, drink like there was no tomorrow, to know the hell of finance and accounting, to be creative marketers, to learn that "there is" at the face of "there isn't", to smile despite the fact that we were failing and to hold the gigantic cross at the beginning of a high mass. these are some of the numerous memories i will pack with me once i leave the confines of the Ateneo and graduate from the age group of the Youth Apostolate. there are so many people i will be grateful for, and many opportunities i wish i took. there's this sigh of relief breathing out of me. 

in three months time the life i have come to lead will no longer be the same.

Verse 1

Since you've been gone I've been lonely

Longing to be with you only

Maybe there still a way I could find you and say

Just how I feel

I can't believe that it's over 

Wish somehow I could have shown her

All that was inside my heart

'Stead of playing the games

You might have stayed

B-Section 1

Funny, just the other night

I was thinking

And wondering if you ever think

About me

I call you one the phone 

There's no answer

Hook 1 

Oh well there's still tomorrow

Oh well I'll try again

Oh well maybe just maybe

Verse 2

Since you've been gone I've been lonely

Longing to be with you only

If there's a way I could beg you to stay

Would you please stay with me

B-Section 2

I was thinking maybe I 

Could come over

Hoping we could finaly

Work this out

Even if tonight we don't 

Find an answer

Hook 1

Bridge

If I had another chance

We would stand

Hand in hand

You'd be my girl

And I'd be your man

Oh well maybe just maybe we can

B-section 3

I still call you on the phone

Still no answer

Maybe later on I'll try

One more time yes

Or am I just a fool

To keep trying

Hook 2

Oh well there's still tomorrow

Oh well a fool's what I am

Oh well maybe just maybe

Oh well still, there's still tomorrow

Oh well I'll try again

Oh well maybe justi  maybe 

See if i got down on my knees

And give you every little part of me

Oh well there's still tomorrow

Oh well I'll try again

Oh well maybe just maybe

Since you've been gone I've been lonely

** i know this really doesnt make any true sense to what i just said but its one of those songs that remind me of my childhood.
