What about love?

Being in a relationship is hard.

You are forced to become mature, to face insecurities, to settle your issues. To learn how to compromise. To see things his way and try to understand. To bend over backwards. To listen. To be patient. To swallow your pride. To learn how to say “I’m sorry,” and mean it.

You need to look at your partner’s faults squarely, and still accept him. To believe in his potential, yet cherish whatever he is and whatever he has right now.

You need to be strong when he is not. Sometimes, you need to pretend you are weak, to validate his strength.

You have to sacrifice some of your dreams so that you can make new dreams together.

So when there are days when I find myself saying, “Ayoko na. Pagod na ako,” I listen to this song. Somehow, my tears dry up, I breathe again, I remember the reasons why choose to be in this relationship. And I move on.

What if I took my time to love you?

What if I put no one above you?

What if I did the things that really matter?

What if I ran through hoops of disaster?

No one would care if we never made it

We’re in this alone so why don’t we face it

There is no room to blame one another

We just need time to forgive each other

What about love?

What about feeling?

What about all the things that make life worth living?

What about faith?

What about trust?

And tell me baby what about us?

How can I give this love a new beginning?

How can I stop the rain, its never ending?

How do I keep my soul believing?

Memories of how we should be keep calling?

What about love?

What about feeling?

What about all the things that make life worth living?

What about faith?

What about trust?

And tell me baby what about us?

I’ll take the river’s rise

I’ll take the happy times

I’ll take the moments of disaster

What about love?

What about feeling?

What about all the things that make life worth living?

What about faith?

What about trust?

And tell me baby what about us?
