Cold Summer Night

Keep on blaming myself

I should've eaten my pride

How can I convince you?

Is it a matter of time?

Many times I've hurt you with my foolish ways

Now I know I have to pay the price

Is there a way for you to turn around?

Turn around and come back baby

Baby can't you see?

It's been cold summer nights since we drifted apart

Cold summer nights since you walked out that door

Cold summer nights here on my own

I miss you babe and I need you here

It rained hard yesterday just as I went out of the office to go home.



What the hell?! It's still summer, isn't it? Kasagsagan pa lang po ng tag-araw. What's with the downpour?



Who knows? The weatherman did not report any rainshowers for that day.



But there I was, braving the heavy rain and strong wind, armed with my not-so-sturdy 2-fold umbrella. After the usual inconveniences that go along rainy days (heavy traffic jam, flooding in the streets, and getting stranded for hours if you're not lucky enough), I got home safe, but a bit wet. My umbrella almost gave up on me.



Along the way, seeing some flooded streets, I suddenly felt a tug in my heart.



J would never let me walk on these floodwaters.


But he wasn't with me that night.

Maybe not anymore.
