Back story:
Early last year, I became sort of obsessed with this song. Be it played over and over again, or as the default song choice at Red Box. I remember telling my best friend Shellee, "Someday, this is a song my someone out there will sing for me."
Back back story:
For some reason or another, I'd always end up in a relationship that couldn't fully be disclosed to everyone. So I don't know what it's like to have a profile pic with my boyfriend in it or even the feeling of declaring to be "in a relationship" with someone. It may seem a bit shallow, but if you're a hopeless romantic and have never experienced this, it's quite frustrating. And frankly, disheartening.
Back to the yesterday story:
It'd been a while since I last remembered to play this song. I thought of playing it yesterday, with the thought in my head that "hey, this is His song for me. I know He's proud to declare that I'm His girl." With that happy thought in mind, I still wasn't able to play the song cause I got distracted.
Cut to this morning:
I was listening to a radio station that plays current hits and just as my sister and I were talking about faith, guess what song came on? THE song. I couldn't believe it. I'd actually never heard it played on the radio before cause the only time I'd listen to it was when I intentionally listened to it on YouTube or Grooveshark, at Red Box, or during the end credits of Rio when I'd watch with my nephew. But there it was, playing loud and proud on a radio station that's quite popular. A song I knew He was playing just for me. :)
And just like that, my day was made. Kakakilig ka, Lord. :)
Seems a bit heavy to start the new year with "a song that makes you sad", but since this is where I left off when I accepted this challenge 2 years ago (2 years!!!), I shall go ahead.
You know that person whom no matter what you go through, you just keep coming back to? Then you get all confused because you think they're "The One", but somehow, the universe just won't fall into place. It's always the wrong place at the wrong time. And no matter how much you tried forgetting about this person, whenever they come back, it just feels like home. But somehow you're not allowed in.
Yeah, I had that. So imagine the bawling that occurred when I first heard this song.
BUT.
The good news is that's all over now. What I once thought was a no-way-out, dead-end situation is now just a thing of the past. (How? See my previous post.)
I'm still human though, and this song - doesn't matter if you can relate to it or not - just has the FEELS, man.
On a lighter note, my first encounter of this song was on Community and honestly I couldn't take the song seriously at first. Here's why:
And on that note, Community starts with a new season tomorrow!!!
