Her introduction is already music to my ears. At last we can concentrate on our family. We owe this to our baby. What happened recently robbed us of our time to think and prepare for his coming. But starting tomorrow it will be different.


The first song started,


Damn, I wish I was your lover
I'd rock you till the daylight comes
Made sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything tonight, I'll be your mother
I'll do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you wont feel ashamed
Shocks, for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

Maybe she was the first one who had a crush on me. But she shoved it aside thinking that I am beyond her reach. Just an admiration. But that day when I finally noticed her, and then starting to get to know her, my life has changed. It's like my world now revolves because of her. She being in a rocky relationship during that time didn't stop me in showing that I can treat her better.

I caught the Jema love virus.

I was diagnosed with severe in love attack. And I think I will never recover. It's been years that I am holding this disease but I don't have plans of getting healed.




At nakita kita sa tagpuan ni Bathala
May kinang sa mata na 'di maintindihan
Tumingin kung saan
Sinubukan kong lumisan
At tumigil ang mundo
Nung ako'y ituro mo
Siya ang panalangin ko


Her first song for me. I remember how she sings it to me over the phone. We were keeping what we have a secret then. Those private moments, our secret dates, my posts of her in silhouette. Such cute memories.
Our beginnings.

You by the light
Is the greatest find
In the world full wrong
You're the thing that's right
Finally made it
Through the lonely
To the other side

You said it again
My heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge
Of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark

And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time
In the last time
In my only life


I said then that one cannot plan for the unexpected. But Jema was the best unplanned that happened in my life. Though we agreed to be discreet at first, it didn't stop her from posting photos of me or our moments together. I was afraid before. Not for myself but for her.

My coming out already brought various comments in social media, what more our relationship? But she showed me how strong she is, even braver than me.

It's such a shame if I will get weak when my girlfriend has that courage.

So I learned to be stronger. She made a better me. 

I am me now because of my Jema.



Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out and take me home
You're my, my, my, my
Lover


Lowkey no more. I can't remember how and when we went out of the shadows. It just happened. We experienced being scrutinized by a lot of people, but it ended. Or should I say, we managed to mute them out? Or they finally got tired? Whatever happened to them, I don't really care.

Our road to forever had its ups and downs but we faced it all. And here we are..



I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
