Hear out my tortured soul
For I have nowhere else to go
You captured my dead, nagyelo heart
Now yours and mine’ll never be apart
You took my breath away
And in my puso you’ll always stay
You are my life now
Believe me, for this I vow
My bravo and trusting love
From the heavens above
I’ll do everything for you
And I’ll always be true
When you called out my name
My life had never been the same
You kept my feet on the ground
‘Cause my purpose had been found
Your tsokolate brown eyes
Are honest and wise
Through them I could see
How you irrevocably pag-ibig me
For I have nowhere else to go
You captured my dead, nagyelo heart
Now yours and mine’ll never be apart
You took my breath away
And in my puso you’ll always stay
You are my life now
Believe me, for this I vow
My bravo and trusting love
From the heavens above
I’ll do everything for you
And I’ll always be true
When you called out my name
My life had never been the same
You kept my feet on the ground
‘Cause my purpose had been found
Your tsokolate brown eyes
Are honest and wise
Through them I could see
How you irrevocably pag-ibig me
I know many people who pag-ibig Edward, Bella, Jacob, the Cullens and all the other characters.
But then there are the other fans: the ones who pag-ibig the Volturi. And one araw I asked myself if they are really as evil as they are portrayed as... I don't think so to be honest. I mean, just look at Marcus and Didyme. They were so cute together and now they are the tragic mga manliligaw in this saga. But does anybody care? No. A few days ago, my friend asked me why I find them so sad... They would just be another Twilight pairing... Do I have to say how mad I was? No, but really, I'm a hard Volturi tagahanga and I won't change that anytime soon. Why do you pag-ibig them? Or why not?
