about

a song about reuniting with my Other Half.

lyrics

Chicago!
CentroAutonomo!
Kasamas!
Mga Maganda at mga Guapo!
Impossible keeping my feelings contained
I think I found the remedy
Finally healing my pain!
&When I saw Her,
I already knew!
What my heart was telling me
Was steady and true!
Elegant Hues from her Colorful Soul
And
When
She
First
Looked
At
Me
I felt my heart unfold
& Open!
Whole heartedly speaking,
The holes in my Soul,
Were all filled up!
It's all Mahal (Love)
I'm just trying to build trust
I've been writing since the airport,
And I'm still UP!
.... Up, Up, Yes up in the Atmos!
She is my Lorena,
Entrusted in Practice!
KasamaLoveConnection,
Complemented Energies,
Dialectical Reflection!

Chorus:
You Remind Me of the Island that I drift to!
Let's compare the contradictions that we grip to!
I haven't been the same since I kissed you!...
Like the Philippines,
I miss you.
I love the way the Revolution fits You
The rhythm of this movement is what we live to!
Our Struggles constructed this View,
Like the Philippines,
I miss you...

Verse2:
She's a Babaylan! (Indigenous Healer)
From centuries passed!
Gracefully Mystical with indigenous class!
And when she walked in the room....
Her Light made my Puso's (Heart)
Bulaklak (flower) bloom!
Knock-Knock BOOM!
Went the pace of my heart!
She's the answer to my prayers
That were made in the dark!
Passion is the flame that would spark!
She's the human embodiment of Nature & Art!
Her flavor is a partnership of Philippine cuisine
At yung lasa ng kalayaan (Taste of Freedom!)
Filling my dreams!
Filipina Serene, Gabriela Militant!
Both of us children of Filipino Immigrants!
Skintone,
Of Countryside Exquisiteness,
It feels like the Universe Herself, delivered this;
Slow & Steady growing strong,
She's makes me feel like
Andres (Bonifacio)
Lapu-Lapu
&Bulosan! (Carlos)

Chorus:
You Remind Me of the Island that I drift to!
Let's compare the contradictions that we grip to!
I haven't been the same since I kissed you!...
Like the Philippines,
I miss you.
I love the way the Revolution fits You
The rhythm of this movement is what we live to!
Our Struggles constructed this View,
Like the Philippines,
I miss you...

Verse3:
And I'm still......
Trying to figure out what's happening
Cause everything thus far
Exceeds the imagining!
Practicing Discipline & Theory,
She's the painting behind my eyelids that I see so clearly!
When I close my eyes,
It's no surprise
She's the omen from the Universe
That my Hope's arrived!
And that Love is Finally Found!
A partner who understands what it's like to be down!
I suppose,
This is how Bulosan felt,
When the Philippine Motherland compelled his heart to melt!
I swear it was a living dream...
Cause when Her Kiss
Touched my Lips
It felt like I was in the Philippines!
Sun shining
Standing amidst the grass,
In each other's embrace
Enchanted by her laugh
And her smile is drawn in my marrow...
This love has transformed me,
Into a Katipunero!

Chorus:
You Remind Me of the Island that I drift to!
Let's compare the contradictions that we grip to!
I haven't been the same since I kissed you!...
Like the Philippines,
I miss you.
I love the way the Revolution fits You
The rhythm of this movement is what we live to!
Our Struggles constructed this View,
Like the Philippines,
I miss you...
