The Privilege of Knowing Me

-

You No Longer Have the Privilege of Knowing Me

 You can no longer know about how happy or sad I am
You can no longer know what makes me anxious
What makes me excited

 There will never be another time when I'll allow you into my head
Into my soul
You lost that privilege

 It's not because you did something wrong
It's not because I hate you
I could never hate you

 You no longer have the privilege of knowing me because our chapter is done
Over
We both walked out

 Future chapters are now reserved for those who'll stay

 BECAUSE I DESERVE PEOPLE WHO STAY! 

 You no longer have the privilege of seeing me in awe of places I visit for the first time
You no longer have the privilege of being incorporated into my everyday life

No longer will you be able to laugh at my witty jokes
No longer will you have the privilege of "people watching" with me

Say goodbye to the conversations that will send you into the intricacies of my head
Of my heart

 No longer will you know what I think of life
And what's beyond this life

 You lost that privilege

 You no longer have the privilige of being by my side when I achieve my dreams

 You wont be there when I get my Masters
You wont be there when I celebrate getting my dream job
You wont be there when I cross the finish line
When I reach the summit

 You lost that privilege

 I revoke your right of knowing my fears
I revoke your right of knowing my secrets
I revoke your lease on space in my mind

 You no longer have the power of making me feel guilty
No longer have the power to make me feel like I'm the devil

 Never again

 I wish you the best
I really do
Go for everything you've ever wanted in life
I set you and my thoughts of you FREE

 So please respect me enough to set me free
Free to be happy
Free to be in love with life again

 FREE!

 But at the end of it all
It doesn't matter and you'll never know 

 Because You No Longer Have the  Privilege of Knowing Me

 And it's time for me to let you go

My Top 10 OPM Songs (2017)

If you're not familiar with OPM, OPM stands for "Original Philippine Music" or "Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Manunugtog at Mangangawit". It's a music genre that's basically Philippine songs and ballads; and recently found out from friends that any OPM song composed by a Filipino singer or songwriter can be in English or any other languages. It took a while for me to become a fan of OPM. My papa and mama are fans and they usually listen to famous Filipino singers like Christian Bautista, Gary Valenciano, Erik Santos, Jose Mari Chan, Lea Salonga, Jed Madela, and Sarah Geronimo. I've been living in Philippines for five years now and the more I listen to OPM, the more I learn the Filipino/Tagalog language. I'm probably the slowest learner when it comes to languages and I feel bad 'cause I'm a Filipino. At least now, I'm decent with it than I was five years ago. My friends would give me suggestions of artists and bands and I love ex...

It all began with a rock…

This year, I got heartbroken for the first time from a guy who I thought was “the one”. First of all, I am not doing this because I want to be with him again and I am not doing this just to meddle in with his relationship. I am doing this to express my story about my first heartbreak. So, here it goes… Some would say you’re crazy for writing this; some would think it’s not a good idea. I know writing this is for me to finally let him go.  It was my sophomore year of college and I had a crush on a guy who was a little bit out of my league. You could say he’s pretty popular in the university that I go to because he was the type that girls go for. He was known for his voice and his looks. He knew that he had attention from a lot of students. I didn’t know who he was because he was a freshman. I didn’t think he was cute or even charming first time I saw him because I saw him from a far. But the time I saw him up close, I knew why girls would have a crush on this...
