photgraph revisited

prefix and hyphen

maine reluctantly went to the stage with her head bowed down and her hand clasping her guitar. riza gave her an encouraging smile then handed over the microphone

hi po. ahmm... happy birthday rj. i wish you all the success and happiness and good health. she paused then looked at him lovingly rj, thank you for taking care of me. thank you for being the lyrics to my song and the melody to my music. thank you for being the prince charming to my fairytale and my knight in shining armour when i was the damsel in distress. sana hindi ka magbago.

i won't, love. i won't. he said with conviction making her cheeks blush

cheers and applause blared after his statement

i'm not good with words so i'll just sing you a song instead

she kept her eyes fixed with his. his heart is now racing and he does not know why.

she seated and shifted her guitar and started strumming

🎶 Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my best-est
And nothing's going to stop me but divine
intervention
I reckon it's again my turn,
To win some or learn some
but I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find
love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people
dance and sing
We are just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be
loved loved loved loved loved
so I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
d-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear oh oh
I've been spending way too long
checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards
just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I been saying is there
ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and
just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
but I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm yours
well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find
the sky is yours
So please don't please don't please don't
There's no need to complicate
'Cause our time is short
This, oh this, this is our fate
I'm yours... 🎶

after her song, everyone looked at rj who seemed to be in shock.
