way back into love

i'm listening to the song "way back into love" by drew barrymore and hugh grant right now. and it takes me back to a familiar place and time.

i am not talking about getting back the feelings i had with an ex, but it makes me remember the days when i was still in college. the song was the soundtrack of the movie "Music and Lyrics" shown in 2007 i think. and i found both the music and its lyrics striking. maybe because i missed the times singing songs with my bestfriend as he went on playing his guitar during those times. ah! those were the days.

well, i am not a professional musician myself. i do play the guitar from time to time but i have not had any chance to play in front of a crowd, aside from occasional org parties and jam sessions with friends. i even watched the movie alone. but given a chance, i could have watched the movie with my bestfriend. this could have been our song together.

aside from the fact that we both are artists by heart, we really enjoy acoustic songs. he plays the guitar so well he could have been a musician by profession. and in watching movies as such, he would always be the best choice for a good companion. for one, we both love playing songs in his guitar and we both love meaningful lyrics or lyrics that somehow tells a story, or somewhat like that.

and i am glad i did not watch the movie with my boyfriend then. well, it was a good thing we broke up by the time i was able to watch the movie. i had to admit i wouldn't have enjoyed the movie as much as i've enjoyed watching it alone. it's because he might not have the same appreciation of the movie as i did. one reason is, the movie involved songwriting and musicians. second, well, it was a bit of a sappy movie most guys don't wanna watch, 'cept for some romantics who are either artists or musicians. and in some way, it was a love story. and who wants to watch movies like that? girls, of course!

and though my bestfriend is some kind of a 'chickboy,' he has never been a guy's guy who prefers watching movies with a lot of bed scenes. he is a romantic artist who, somehow, relates to other romantic girls out there.

yeah. modesty aside, some guys like him still exist. however, there's only a few of them left. and to tell you honestly, i have always been dreaming of a guy like him. but perhaps, some things are not meant to be. so we are still bestfriends up to this day.

it doesn't matter though. i'm happy the way we are. and the fact that he can still make me smile even though at times i feel down is a very positive thing to talk about. but the wonder of our relationship being bestfriends remains. we both share this "connection" we could never understand. we just both know that there is something between us, like we are kind of related by blood. i can't explain it myself. it's like we are likeminded, something like that, that we do think in almost the same way and we look at things in the same perspective, too.

oh, well. i guess i'm not making myself clear by trying to explain further. but i do believe that most people out there who do have a bestfriend, be it a girl or a guy, pretty much feel the same way, too.

and what else do i have to say? i guess i really need to find my way back to love now. :))
