First love never dies

Each of us has its own match and love story..

Each of us has its own match and love story..

"The first time you fall in love,
it changes your life forever,
and no matter how hard you try,
the feeling never goes away.
No matter what you do,
she/he'll stay with you forever."

-The notebook, Nicholas Spark
 

The eternal flame.
 

Reminiscing

Lumabo man ang mga mata ko. Mananatili pa ring malinaw ang pagtingin ko sayo.

Does have a mark resemblance
Like looking at a portrait of my first love
 

Every now and then, sweet or bittersweet recollections suddenly appear in dreams or while browsing an article or doing something that reminds one of an episode.  

Time is like a dream. For a time she was mine.

"But that was long ago,
And many loves have I,
But only one was real,
And that I let slip by, ......"
(from the song 'Dio Come Ti Amo' sung by Shirley Bassey)

Winter's almost over. Soon there'll be another spring -- September 1st. And I'll be remembering my 1st love. A love that was verboten.

But that was 45+ years ago. Now, …..

Lumabo man ang mga mata ko. Mananatili pa ring malinaw ang pagtingin ko sayo.

Should I persist, will history only repeat itself? Another forbidden love?
Too many intrigues. Too many haters and inggiteros.

Sana magkaroon ng divine intervention.

WISTful thinking!

Guess it all depends on how deep was the footprints left in one's heart -- the deeper the footprints left, the harder to erase.

We were in our late teens. What attracted me most was her intelligence. Me, being the introvert type, found it easy to get along with her when we spent time tackling math/physics problems and making plans about going to USA. We were in a world of our very own. Sharing a love that only few have ever known. Yep, to many, that kind of romance is very corny -- prefer to talk about the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees.

After that, many loves have I. But they weren't as talented.

The only other brainy girl had intimate relationship with was my daughter. Noticed that even when she was still a kid. But, of course, this is a different kind of relationship.

My marriage was a bad decision. Brought about by the circumstances myself made. Shouldn't have worked in that lonely and remote Koolan Island. Influenced by the trend at that time, joined the bandwagon of Aussie blokes who went to the Philippines to look for brides.

Understand now why brain is #1 in  my selection criteria for bride-searching?

"Life's full of troubles and sorrows,
Life's full of heartaches and woes,
And I need the love of a woman,
To guide me wherever I go."
(excerpt from the Brothers Four "Beautiful Brown Eyes")
 

Yes, it was springtime. Late March. School yr’s about to end. The prom. Later, the grad ball in April.

A SONG FOR YOUNG LOVE
 
Hold hands in the spring, young love
When hearts are free, young love
When skies are clear and fair
And love is everywhere
Hold hands in the spring, young love
 
Embrace in the spring, young love
When dreams come true, young love
When doves begin to mate
Don't wait, don't hesitate
Embrace in the spring, young love
 
The first love you know
That one tender glow
Happens but once and so
 
Be true in the spring, young love
When lips are new, young love
 
Though hearts were meant to take
Remember they can break
Be true in the spring, young love
Young love.
-The Lettermen
