The Phoenix

The organ’s playing The entourage started coming I see him walk I see him smile He is so proud And yes… so in love He stayed in front of the altar Waiting for his lovely bride When she finally came, he held her hand She’s so beautiful So wonderful I know she’s everything he wants She’s the one he loves… It’s now time to recite their vows And so the music was played I have to sing their wedding song And I don’t know why there is pain He hears my voice…. And he stopped for a while He looked at my direction He can’t believe it with his eyes He sees me smiling while I sing He tried to look me in the eye But I looked away from him… ‘Coz I don’t want him to see me weeping I was smiling outside… But crying deep inside… I don’t know if I can bear this any longer I was hurt… my heart’s wounded Then the music fades together with my voice I ran away… ‘coz I have no choice I ran away because I know that I can’t stay I ran away from the

I was down and out the day you said goodbye My head was spinning My heart stopped beating I was lost…… I died I tried to recover God knows how hard I told myself to forget you I thought I did… I wished I did… A few good men tried to win me But all of them failed Coz I’ve forgotten how to love… I’ve forgotten how it felt… My friends told me I should try to move on And so I tried… But I failed… For a thousand times and more How can I move on when it’s you that I ever wanted?

Anyways, before we enter the cave, the guides told us to just leave our belongings in our jeepney. Even the jackets should be left because we will get wet inside. I only have my flashlight in my pocket and nothing else. We had picture takings before we ent
