Maybe you want it too, the same way I did. Maybe I had but only a chance to say it, and my own anxiety failed me. I could’ve claimed it, professed it. But I didn’t.
I’m weak. Much weaker than you could imagine. Much more human than what my words would illustrate. Now regrets blanket me, the sole warmth that spell a tale that never got played. Maybe tomorrow would be different. Maybe I won’t be the same person, or you won’t be there to remind me of my own shortcomings.
But for all its worth, I really did want to.

RED IS THE NEW BLACK
random rantings and rabid retorts of a socially-retarded, decidedly high-strung, renewed romantic
the crimson creed
- red the mod
- i am strong, i am feeble, i am witty and able, i am mornings of summer, with a heart of ice, i am artist-auteur, i am expression with a price, i stand weak but stand still, i keep my hole as my palace, with a voice close to shrill, in my hand my own carcass.

:c i'm not sure if i really got it but my interpretation of it is about fearing love. i've been there many times. i've had many regrets too and for the longest time, i wouldn't let go of them. in the process, i alienated a lot of people, potential lovers and even myself.
wow, this made me think. good job, red!
@ʎonqʎʇıɔ Thanks. It was simply metaphorical. It could mean many number of things, love being the most obvious interpretation. It is speculative, anyway.
it always takes two to tango. what is done is done. still it ended, i surmise. armed with lessons that we have learned, we just got to move on. life is a dynamic progression and sometimes it means taking a step back before going forward.
it's futile fretting. be kind to yourself. :)
(just remember: be weak if you want to love)
@COLORBLIND I must agree. I mentioned this too to a dear friend, that sometimes a step-back is far more progressive than a step forward. There is strength in conceding, sometimes. I'm not fretting though, far from it, this is actually speculative. Sort of like Kokology. :)
I felt the same before, wondering if I was gutsy enough, would it happen? Would I know that he did want the same? I'm just too scared to take the risk.
@~Carrie~ We tend to be limited and discouraged by our own histories. I too am stifled by it sometimes. Debilitating. But the what-if's are also equally incessant. No pain, no gain, di ba?
If i could let yu listen to a music, it would be taking chances. Glee version :)
Cheer up, dancer.
@Yas Jayson Oh, I like that one. Very optimistic. The dancer is fine, thanks. :)
I just want to start again,
And maybe you could show me how to try,
And maybe you could take me in,
Somewhere underneath your skin?

@Kane I liked this particular passage:
It’s cold and heaven surround you every direction,
Cause there’s someone behind every hand that you’ve made a connection
And now we’re free to be number one, morning isn’t far away,
I had a dream we were holding on, and tomorrow has become today, become today.
"take my hand, let's jump together, let's fall alongside each other - the only fall that won't hurt one bit."
@Alterjon :)
Aba! I love this song Red. The video is beautiful and the guy is gay.
@Kane Yeah. The guy's eyes are so mesmerizing. Unblinking, like a defiant star. Thanks Kane, it's a wonderful find. Share ka pa ng ibang songs. I remember you were our DJ nung Threesome Launch. What an eclectic and invigorating playlist you had.
