Hintay
Lyrics by: Christian Linag

Verse

Simula ng ika’y lumisan
Puso ko’y labis nang nahirapan
Nalulumbay sa tuwing nag-iisa
Kakapit na lamang ba sa ating alaala

Nagtatanong kung anong dapat gawin
Upang ika’y muling mapasaakin
Hindi ko man maibigay mga bituin
Buong puso naman kitang mamahalin

Chorus:
Sana’y pakinggan itong awitin
Nang malaman mong ang nais ko’y ikaw pa rin
Araw-araw kong dinadalangin
Na pag-ibig mo’y muling ibaling sakin
Kahit saan man ako dalhin ng hangin
Patuloy kitang hihintayin

Verse
Simula ng ika’y mawala
Pagluha ko’y hindi na humupa
Nalulungkot sa tuwing nag-iisa
May pag-asa pa bang ika’y muling makasama

(Repeat Chorus)

Sana’y pakinggan itong awitin
Nang malaman mong pag-ibig ko’y ikaw pa rin
Araw-araw kong hinihiling
Pagtingin mo’y muling ibaling sakin
Kahit saan man ako dalhin ng hangin
Patuloy kitang hihintayin

Hihintayin…..hihintayin…. Hihintayin kita.

Unconditional Love

It's been a month now and everything is still clear. You are happier now with somebody else, while here I am still struggling, collecting every piece of me and trying to stand again. I really don't know why I can't forget you. Your words, your smile and the way you looked at me are haunting me every night. I was crying every night as I see you in my dreams. How I wish I could make it last. The happy times we had together. I know that you are now in love with somebody else. But I can't stop myself to love you, over and over I fall. I guess you really teach me how to love unconditionally: "To love a person even if she cannot give you back the same amount of affection that you were giving her, and to love a person even if she was in love with somebody else." I know I still love you, even you are madly in love, unfortunately, with somebody else.(many would tell that's stupidity) But to tell the truth, I'm trying, I tried to forget you, but I just can't. I tried to pretend that I did not love you that much, a lie that cuts through my heart and soul. The physical pain I have experienced in my fraternal life cannot compare to the pain and suffering I was going through right now. But even I'm hurting, I need to be happy for you. As long as you are happy, then I should also feel happy. Only then would I truly show you that I love you, the same way that God loved us (But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Rom.5:8) I know someday, somehow, somewhere along the way I would also find my own happiness. I cannot find that without forgiveness and acceptance. "Forgiveness" for all our shortcomings, forgiveness for both of us because our relationship did not turn out the way we wanted it to be. "Acceptance" that everything would turn out right and both of us would finally found the happiness we have longing for. (Who knows, maybe someday we'll find our happiness in each others heart again) Right now, I'm in the process of forgiving myself for letting you go. I am trying to accept the harsh reality of life. As a final words, here's 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." Smile :)

Story of us.




One time, I fell in love with this girl. Since I laid my eyes on her, I know I'm in love. Yeah, she had me at one look, and owned the whole me with one smile. I suddenly wanted to see her every time and how terribly I miss her when I don't. How I loved to see her laugh. How I longed to see her smile, yes, that sweet smile for me. I know I was in love, and I know I'm still in love with her this very moment I am writing this. I know she is not perfect, so am I. I know there are moments that she is unlikable, so do I. Then one day, she came across my way with that sweetest smile I am dying to own. Oh, I almost forgot, I really got that wish-to own her sweet smile; those stares from her beautiful eyes. How happy I was when I finally had these wishes come true. To look her in the eyes, to laugh with her, to share stories with her and to let her feel I care and love her. The moment I finally claim, I have her in my life. But fate seems to be fond of making jokes, one evening she asked me to let her go and much worst is she even asked me to forget her, why? Because she said she needs to, so I let her go, but i can't grant her request to forget her. Though I gave my best, love still hurts me for the reason that I may not fully understand. I thought it will never end, because we made a promise to never leave each other, but sometimes, you need to let go for a while and wait for the right time. You know it's hard to lose someone who becomes a part of your life, someone you learned to love and now you can't live without. It’s hard to love and later to say goodbye, but it's much harder to let GO, when you really want to say "NO". Sigh. For now, I’m just hoping that someday things will meant and be the same. I promised to myself that I'll wait for her, even she did not ask me to do so. I’ll just be here, patiently waiting. Just always remember: I'm your man.
