What air supply song am I?

It's funny that my 100th post would be both a blog contest entry and an open letter to someone very special. =) GenSan News Online Mag has it that Air Supply will be having a concert at General Santos City this October 2, an event sponsored by Dreamwork Ventures, the concert producer, and Grab a Crab Restaurant.

So, while digging up my thoughts on the whole lot of Air Supply music that I grew up with, I couldn't really think of any song that fits me well... I dismissed the idea of joining the contest. Until after I went home from last night's videoke session, I was regretful that I didn't have the chance to sing Come What May. And then it struck me: that's it! Come What May is MY AIR SUPPLY SONG! That started everything, I took out my pen and notebook and started to scribble why I chose Come What May.

And the most unexpected thing happened...

When he looks at me
I know that boy sees things nobody else can see
All of the secret fears inside and all the craziness I hide
He looks into my soul and reads me like nobody can
And he doesn't judge the girl, he just takes me as I am...

Dear Cali,

I know it's weird writing to you in my blog post. But I can't stop myself from thinking of you. As I write the lyrics to the song, and hum its melody, all I could think of is you. Maybe because those words were perfectly written ahead just for the two of us. You've accepted me for me, maybe because you cared to look beyond my haircut and clothes, and knew the real me. And I've never heard you complain of how I get so busy with work and school, you simply understood, patiently waited, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Come what may he believes
And that faith is something I'd never known before
Come what may he loves me
And that love has helped me open a door
Making me love myself a little more...

Happy 9th monthsary! I never thought we'd stay together this long. You know how afraid I was to take the risk. We're almost always away from each other and I was so scared to venture in a long distance relationship. But you assured me and you have remained faithful until now. I've been a better person because of you. You came into my life at the right time. I thought I was already complete, I didn't know my life would be much much happier and even more wonderful with you. And yes, I'll quit driving like a psycho, I'm sorry if I ever made you worry about me, I deeply apologize. I'll never give up no matter how much life closes up on me, 'cause I know that you would always be there waiting for me, and I want to be there for you, too...

When I turn away
He knows those are the times
There's nothing he can say
Nothing that anyone can do
And so he lets me live it through
And when I'm in my darkest hour of uncertainty
He just simply lets me be
And goes right on loving me

Our relationship might be far from being perfect, we had our share our fights and petty quarrels, but you never left my side nor deprived me of the space that I needed. You simply know what to do, and this suits me so well. You have never loved me less despite my tantrums and mood swings. You never pry, you never insist, instead, you just silently sit beside me and wait until i calm down, maybe 'cause you know that I'd be longing for your loving arms at the end of my bouts.

And when it seem my dreams
Have all slipped through my fingers
When they just can't be found
I turn around and there they are
Shining in his eyes

You're simply the best gift that I have ever received. I don't know how you do it, but I never feel the weight of any burden whenever you're around. I told you this before, but let me remind you now: You're my best medicine, and you're the one who keeps me going. I LOVE YOU!

I may have an adulterated version of the song, but it really spells out how I feel for the one I love. I don't know how I ended up writing a love letter in relation to that song but I felt good and satisfied after doing so. Yes, I've had second thoughts on posting this entry but I know that I couldn't have made it any better.
