Rewind, Slow Motion then Pause

Every night I press rewind and play things in slow motion…

The day we met,

The way you look at me and me to you,

The way you smile and laugh,

The way you talk.

The first hug, the first kiss.

Pause...

Every night I press rewind and play things in slow motion….

Your head on my chest,

The scent of your hair,

The scent of your perfume,

Me kissing your forehead saying I love you and thank you,

Our hands intertwined together.

Pause...

Every night I press rewind and play things in slow motion….

Watching you asleep,

Thanking Him for bringing you here.

Putting my left ear where your heart is, listening as it beats.

Our little off-guard moments, just us, smiling and silently staring at each other.

Pause...

Every night I press rewind and play things in slow motion…

The time I held you so tight under the warm dim light,

Your head on my shoulder, my head leaning yours.

Bennett’s on the background singing:

“With each word your tenderness grows,
tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
it touches my foolish heart.”

I closed my eyes and silently prayed, please don't let this end.

Pause...

Every night I press rewind and play things in slow motion…

In my mind and in my heart, these things will never be erased or forgotten

And I want to tell you, how I badly want to press fast forward.

And see you and me together again in the near future.

You and Me, Just Us Two.

When the Prince Met His Match

As one of the members of the high aristocracy, he’s though well about histories and on a young age he’s though how to run a country, how to act accordingly and behave in front of his monarchial court. Before a prince must be well thought on how to battle using swords, he needs to learn who his allies and enemies are. Most of them who's living in his kingdom have high expectations on him, especially his family.

Even in fairy tales, a prince may either save a princess from dragons; he must kiss one in order to wake his true love from deep slumber, he can be possessed by the sea witch, become a beast, or even fight hundreds of wars just to claim and win his princess’s heart.

Now, some of these things are unnecessary, a prince can live his life normally, except the fact that there are still people with some high expectations for him to do well, for him to be great, for him to soon meet his special someone.

Soon, this prince will prepare and attend a masked ball, he will mingle with his court, enjoy the lavish food prepared by the palace chefs, and he will dance with every girl that will attend the festivity. But at the end of that night the prince’s sight will be fixed to this attendee, it seems like his world will slow down, like in those movies. And he will stop for awhile, held his hand on his chest and will mutter to himself “I finally met my match”.
