The Things That Got Away

Maybe the next time around, we'll be better...

Sometimes we have to face the decisions we make in life.
Sometimes we don't even know if it'll be the right one.
So how will we know?
You don't, not until you make one then see how it goes.
Not every decision, though, leads to the ending we want..
Then there'll be regrets...
What if?
What if?
What if I didn't do it?
What if I'd just done it?

What if I only followed my heart?
What will happen then?
Would I be happy?
Or would it be the same?

Haunting, repeating questions.

Then we'd try to set things straight
the second time around.
Look back but move forward.
The next time I'll do it right.
Then maybe I'll be happy...
Then maybe I won't be haunted by what if's...
Next time, I promise....

But then, what happens if next time never comes?

Sometimes, things just happen...
Whether they make reasons for you or not...



This is Katy Perry's video of her song:
"The One That Got Away"
This song just moved that lonely girl inside of me
and made me write another thought.
Honestly though, I get this really sad feeling whenever I hear this song.
Still, I liked it ^_^

  2. i agree with this "Sometimes, things just happen...Whether they make reasons for you or not..."

    there are things that we don't understand so we just need to have faith and trust GOD.

  5. That's what my perception when I wasn't yet converted to the true Church of God. My life is always full of "ifs" Now, I'm 31 years in the said Church, I knew fully well where did I come from, why I was here, and where am I going to go after this life? In short, I'm spiritually educated as I am what I am. Everything that comes to your life has a purpose. It does not exist for nothing. Even every strand of our hair is numbered. Take note for that!

    Since you're here on this earth, make the best out of your life. Don't wait for tomorrow for it will never come. Don't get stuck at the "bahala na" Filipino attitude. Be responsible for all your doings, for you'll be accountable to them when time comes!

  8. though i am not a Katty Perry's fan,i got emotional when i first heard and saw the video...

    u really cannot know how ur decisions would go...so if i decided on one thing i try not to regret or if i do regret it, just accept the consequence...

  9. life will always have what ifs... and will, most of the time be answered with "damn if you do, damn it you don't..."

    may you have a better year this time... stay awesome!

  14. Grabe! Tinamaan akos a lyrics. Ang dami ko rin kasing what if ... minsan yung what if ko is what if hindi ko na lang ginawa ang isang bagay pero alam ko everything happens for a reason. DL ko tong song na to bukas.
