Day 24 – A photo of something that means a lot to you.


we all have our most memorable "object" either in our garage, attic..i have mine in a storage box. i have more than one of these "object" but i don't want to have you know everything about them, or else...there's no mystery in me anymore. these "objects" tell the story of MY life. how and when i started really living. it's still unfinished; it's still in the making. :)
this specific one, is something that means a lot to me because it's a proof of the commitment this one special person has for me and vice versa. we were inspired by the movie UP and we wanted to start our own adventure scrapbook BUT since i moved here in Ontario, we haven't been keeping up to update and add new pages in it. He did, however, write me a song that somewhat ties in with this scrapbook. here are the lyrics:

Stay
By: Toushimy Simmons
if only you knew her the way i do, you'd understand too
if only you knew her the way i do, you'd understand too
looking ahead would've never prepared us for such events
do you understand what's taking place?
because i never knew you'd be the new her
you've written, signed, sealed, a new chapter
this novel entitled "We Live In Pictures"
won't sit on dusty shelves for more than an hour
until it's back in our hands
being read from cover to cover

and my love for you will keep on running on
chasing after you no matter how far
take the scrapbook with you, dear
cause i don't think we'll be able to finish it here
at least not this year
no, not this year.

keep you words then throw them towards me
like your cascading hair, your words catch air
and extend a reach, sure to start, they'll touch my heart
so keep you love burning for the luminaries
in order to light up the lamps constantly
so this is our story
our picture
let's create another

and my love for you will keep on running on
chasing after you no matter how far
take the scrapbook with you, dear
cause i don't think we'll be able to finish it here
at least not this year
no, not this year

so come back home
to our daily phone calls,
late night convos
to beautiful mornings that would paint a smile on our faces
then we'll wear it on a daily basis
girl, you just swept me off my feet
but now i don't think i'm ready
to see you leave.
you swept me off my feet
but now i don't think i'm ready
to see you leave.
i wish i can scream
i wish i can scream "stay..please.."

but my love for you will keep on running on
chasing after you no matter how far
take the scrapbook with you dear
because i don't think we'll be able to finish it here

i wish i can scream "stay"
so then i'll scream, "Sher Merjette..."
i wish i can scream "stay"
so then i'll scream, "Sher Merjette..."
i wish i can scream "stay"
so then i'll scream, "Sher Merjette..."
i wish i can scream "stay"
so then i'll scream, "Sher Merjette..."

i wish i can tell you all about him..i choose not to, though.
i would tell you about him, but then you would fall in love with him too...
i'd rather be selfish and keep him all to myself. :)
