Scribesmeister v4 (In Zero Gravity)

 

Well, you should have seen me earlier this day. I swept a soft ashen blue eye shadow over my eyelids. I was expecting to have my picture taken at the end of the day…but, no luck. I have to go back some other time. Almost everyone commented on my “smokey eyes effect”. Mitch was the first one. She said, “Wow..smokey eyes pa naman si Sarj. Parang ang hyper mo pero ang lungkot ng dating…pero bagay sayo.” Now what did she mean by that?!… Bagay sa akin ang “malungkot ang dating”? Hmmm…then Aubrey interjected, “Grabe, ang ganda ng mata”…ahh! I felt good. Yeah, thanks for the compliments. But all the while I was feeling a burning sensation at the back of my eyes. No, I didn’t cry. I was happy. I was happy, then the rain poured, the senti music streamed inside the room…and poof! I was transported to senti-mode again. Then someone asked me again, “What are you thinking? You seem so far away…” I smiled and said “Nothing…I was just thinking about the compliments I got today.I never had that much for a day.” Then we laughed. High fives. She went out. By myself again…and this song played in my mind.

[Smoke gets in your eyes]

They, asked me how I knew,

My true love was true,

I of course replied, something here inside,

Can not be denied.

They, said some day you’ll find,

All who love are blind,

When you heart’s on fire, you must realize,

Smoke gets in your eyes.

So I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed,

To think they would doubt our love,

And yet today, my love has gone away,

I am without my love.

Now laughing friends deride,

Tears I cannot hide,

So I smile and say,

“when a lovely flame dies,

Smoke gets in your eyes”

…Smoke gets in your eyes.
