The Last Time
By: Eric Benet

The first time I fell in love was long ago
I didn’t know how to give my love at all
The next time I settled for what felt so close
But without romance, you’re never gonna fall

After everything I’ve learned
Now it’s finally my turn
This is the last time I’ll fall… in love

The first time we walked under that starry sky
There was a moment when everything was clear
I didn’t need to ask or even wonder why
Because each question is answered when your near
And I’m wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds
This is the last time I’ll fall…in love

Now don’t hold back, just let me know
Could I be moving much too fast or way too slow
‘Cause all of my life, I’ve waited for this day
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it,
I’ll never be the same

You’ll never know what it’s taken me to say these words
And now that I’ve said them, they could never be enough
As far as I can see, there’s only you and only me

This is the last time I’ll fall in love
Last time I’ll fall…in love
The last time I’ll fall… in love

When I first heard of this song*, it helplessly recollect the old times when I fell in love with someone a long time ago. I was too young, too naive to know what love was all about. Maybe I didn’t really thought I was falling in love. It was so wonderful, so brave that I told the world I was ready. I was surprised with that love - it was far more wonderful than I could ever dream.

You see, until I was ready, and until the one I’ve had was ready, until both of us satisfied exclusively together, we felt we weren’t be able to experience the love that exemplifies the relationship together .. and it was the perfect love. I guess it was.

Until, one day, one has to go - the other remains. If only life was fair for the other, we still would have cherished this wonderful moment. I never knew that I’m still feeling it. In my dreams I’m always trying to feel this love but it just never happen at the end - either something comes up or just drifts away. All these years I’ve been having these types of dreams even when I don’t think of the person anymore. I want to get rid of these but never goes away. Why do I repeatedly dreaming of the same thing?

Now that I remembered why I couldn’t sleep last night, it was because my mind was bothering of wanting me to remember of something will happen. I’m talking about the person who died many years ago. This month, I’ll be celebrating in silence and prayers for that special someone.

So stretch those arms without delay and give me a hug today!

Have a great weekend everyone.

*Download the song here. I will be putting more downloads next time so please bear with me. The Last Time is now number #5 on the chart at Monster Radio RX FM 93.1 Manila, Philippines.

    Tilda’s other blog is here http://www.jadedfashionista.com I think she just forgot to place her real blog address. She got two blogs u know. You can play as many times as you want and also this is a nice way to build up cocoments lol! I will listen to that song later since I have to bake some muffins!

    I just did, thanks Charles.

    It’s a nice idea for a blog. I’ve seen similar like that where people post Pictures of the Day that pertains to their initials. “It’s a cool thing to do when you got nothing else to do and you asked us to do other than doing what is needed to do.” :mrgreen:
    Take your time with the muffins. Coke pls.

    i got that idea from Michele. She is the original in terms of that game.

    Interesting game Charles, kinda funny right to share clicks with other strangers. Keep up the job.

  5. Wavatar Nome on 08.07.2006 at 05:33 Post reply

    The Queerchef says hi, but I suppose you know that already.

    Anyway, I don’t know you at all but I’m sending you a cyberhug just the same.

    I hope that your loved one is at peace wherever they are.

    Have a wonderful day.

    Oh hey there NOME, yes the game. Charles creativity really do helps people to click on each other. Believe me, we are all strangers in the Blog Universtiy but this is the way to meet people and became friends.

    I’m glad you came in here safe. Thanks for the visit.

    Virtual hug for you, K!

  8. Wavatar K on 08.07.2006 at 21:25 Post reply

    *sending a bowl of noodles for Jack* I’m thinking if I can also open a bottle of red.

    How was the weekend?

  9. Wavatar sachiko on 08.07.2006 at 21:56 Post reply

    oh,k…hugs and kisses too..

    hope you had a quiet time remembering that special somebody..

    there was a teriyaki too but didn’t click? oh, ic..did you like it tho?

  10. Wavatar K on 09.07.2006 at 03:26 Post reply

    Hey Ms Sachi, what terriyaki? And how did you know I like sushi?

    You know, remembering someone or something who has come into our lives has come either to teach us something, or to learn something from us. I have probably forgotten it but I realized I am happy (or unhappy) because I thought about and felt it.

    Hey, K, well butter my muffin (QC’s lil game is fun) I’m here reading your blog & I realize…
    your taste in music rocks!
    I have 3 of the CD’s you have listed to the right and have taken note of some of the ones I don’t yet have. I am a music junkie.

    Your post made me sad. I’ll stretch my arms wide and give a hug. You know, if you do that with a stranger *nudge nudge* lol

    I was talking about first loves with someone else the other day and my first love is a tale of loss as well. The bit about the dreams I completely understand. I reply the night I got the call about his death over and over in my dreams.

    Many blessings and peace to you though K, and I’ll be back. hehe- I like what I see here.

    “I have 3 of the CD’s you have listed to the right and have taken note of some of the ones I don’t yet have. I am a music junkie.”

    Oh just on time, my latest post is just about that. I took the sidebar away while I was trying to clean up my blogtheme. And I don’t feel right without it so then I put them back again.

    Sorry if I made you feel sad about the post. I just thought I’d rather share. Life is full of challenge and if life without challenges is like going to school without lessons to learn.

    Thanks for coming, re: QChef game and enjoy the music.

  13. Wavatar Jack Yan on 09.07.2006 at 09:44 Post reply

    Pretty stressful, K: a lot of work crap to get through. At least the gf sounds happy and cheerful on the phone and that makes my day.

  14. Wavatar K on 09.07.2006 at 14:53 Post reply

    I do believe that we should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time we see them.

    Happy Sunday, Jack go out to play your golf.

  15. Wavatar Jack Yan on 09.07.2006 at 15:01 Post reply

    I don’t play golf, and it’s too windy in Wellington! I don’t think it’s the last I will see or hear of my gf, believe me!

  16. Wavatar K on 09.07.2006 at 15:26 Post reply

    Oh I thought you do, you told me last time you were out with friends playing golf over a can of beer?

    Btw, rememeber you said you have a friend coming to HK for a visit, any update?

    *sheesh my mind doesn’t work properly on Sundays. I’m not a morning person really* :razz:

  17. Wavatar Jack Yan on 09.07.2006 at 17:51 Post reply

    Nope, it wasn’t me, and I don’t drink beer! Doug has visited and returned—he didn’t get a chance to stop off to visit you, sorry. His sister lives there so I think he eventually hung out with her most of the time.

  18. Wavatar K on 10.07.2006 at 01:58 Post reply

    Oh did he? I wouldn’t be surprised at all since his visit was to meet his sister - pretty sure he enjoyed the food esp the night stroll at Victoria, Star ferry and The Peak. How about the shopping?

  19. Wavatar duke on 10.07.2006 at 19:56 Post reply

    love is always a wonderful thing.

    …my silent moment for you friend…

    …my silent moment for you friend…

    Meron kang posporo? sisindihan ko lang kandila tapos maglaro tayo ng Spirit of The Glass, sama mo si Yuri at magdala sya kamo ng Chicharon Baboy na may suka na maanghang.

    Teka, pati na baso kasi gagamitin natin yan. Pex man gagalaw ang BASO. :shock:

  21. Wavatar Jack Yan on 10.07.2006 at 21:52 Post reply

    I don’t think he did that much shopping, K, but man, he has some amazing photos of the place.

  22. Wavatar K on 11.07.2006 at 04:08 Post reply

    I knew he’d take a lot pf pictures. Share the links Jack.

  23. Wavatar Jack Yan on 11.07.2006 at 17:12 Post reply

    Not sure if they are up yet but his web site is http://www.detunephotography.com.

  24. Wavatar K on 13.07.2006 at 02:25 Post reply

    Thanks for the site Jack - I haven’t seen he’d updated the site for pictures from HK yet.

  25. Wavatar Jack Yan on 13.07.2006 at 13:56 Post reply

    K, I think he may be trying to license them so he hasn’t put them all up yet.

  26. Wavatar K on 14.07.2006 at 00:46 Post reply

    I will keep on checking, thanks Jack.
