We'll do it all..
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Hindi niya namamalayang tumutulo na pala ang kanyang mga masaganang luha sa bar na iyon, sobrang nadala siya sa tugtog ng kanta at talaga namang ninamnam ni Atty. Via ang bawat katagang binitawan ng kantang Chasing cars. Ano kaya ang kulang sa akin? Maganda ako, beauty queen, sexy, matalino, successful lawyer (kahit wala pang naipapanalo) pero bakit wala pang nagkakamaling manligaw sakin? Takot akong tumandang dalaga, takot akong mamuhay mag-isa, takot akong ang maging cause of death ko lang ay madulas sa banyo at mauntog tapos ilang araw makita at mahanap ang aking bangkay na nakahandusay na sa banyo at inuuod na. Ngiiiih! ang maluha-luhang saad ni Via sa kanyang sarili, kailangan ko nang mag-change environment na siguro para kahit papano ay makilala ko naman na si man of my dreams...maluha-luha pa ring sambit ni Via sa kanyang sarili... isa pang bucket of San mig apple please, tawag ule ni Via sa guwapong waiter. Paubos na kase ang pangalawang bucket na inorder niya. Sabagay, wala naman na siyang ibang gagawin sa araw na iyon at kung hindi man niya kayang mag drive pauwi ay pwede naman siyang mag taxi at magpahatid sa kanyang sariling bahay at tsaka na lang niya babalikan ang kanyang sasakyan kapag okay na siyang magmaneho. Hindi na kasi bago sa kanya ang gawaing ito, basta ang importante sa kanya ay marelieved muna kahit papano ang kanyang nararamdamang kabiguan sa pagkatalo ng kasong hinahawakan at sa wala pang naliligaw na manliligaw sa kanya magpaka-hanggang sa ngayon. Biglang napatigil at napaisip si Via ng makita ang advertisement ng civil service:

Hmm...masubukan ngang mag apply dito, sawa nakong maging private practitioner at wala pa naman akong naipapanalong kaso, ayaw ko pa namang bigla akong magising isang araw na wala nang gustong mag-hire sakin kaya kailangan ko na ring pumasok sa may regular na sahod at sana rin ay dito ko na mahanap na si Mr Right ko, ang nangingiting sambit ni Via sa kanyang sarili...
