A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

Since I'm told not to write anything at meowchie.snydle.com, I decided to convert Chipmunks video lyrics for my Youtube channel to gain views, likes and eventually solid subscribers. I was thinking of a nice song and found "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. I remembered it was my officemate, Ate Rose's favorite song of the season. I'm always teary whenever I hear this and think of her. 

Here's the lyrics and I'd tell about her story after the song..

"A Thousand Years"
(from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" soundtrack)

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

I'd try hard not to cry and be emotional while giving you a brief story of what had happened to my Ate Rose.

March 01, 2013 Friday

We were having our lunch at Sardonyx Plaza.. I, the bagags and at the other table were ate Mayang and ate Rose. We were on our usually goofing while eating moments. It was such a happy lunch break for all of us.

We all returned to our office before 1pm and while resting, ate Rose got an emergency call. I couldn't remember who it was, but I saw our friends gathering around her and comforting her. She was hysterical while replying on the call. I was waiting for her to tell us but upon hearing her responses, we found out that someone told her about a van accident. The majority of the passengers died. The van clashed with a 6x6 soldier vehicle. It was so huge and solid. Ate Rose was crying but the people on the other line said, the passengers were all nursing students of the school where his husband , Kuya Maui is working.

My Godddddd.. we were all feeling for her. The possibility that his husband is with those passengers. She couldn't believe because she said her hubby left Thursday and not just that day (Friday) but she was really frightened because it was confirmed that the victims were all his hubby's students..

I was crying just by looking at her from afar. The news broke my heart but I was praying his hubby was safe. She called her hubby but he was not answering. She got a reply few minutes later saying he'd text her later.
Few minutes later, the school staff of San Benedict fetched her so they could go to the location which is 2-3 hours away (am not sure). We were waiting for further news. 

Since it was Friday, we haven't heard anything more during the weekend. 

Monday and more sad news.. Only few of the van passengers were alive. All of the students where dead, even 1 pregnant woman. Kuya Maui was not a passenger of that van meaning he is alive, but why is ate Rose still sad and grieving?  Kuya Maui was alive but he did not went home. Even if ate Rose and the school staff when to the location, they did not saw Kuya Maui..and never heard of him anymore. Ate Rose was left with many questions. 
  • the accident was Friday because their duty as nursing students were Friday- but how come Kuya Maui traveled Thursday and even said that their first day of duty is Thursday?
  • if kuya Maui left 1 day ahead of the students, where did he stayed and what other business was he doing?
  • why did he LIE to ate Rose, his wife?
  • why is he gone after the accident?
  • why can't he show himself to his wife?
  • where is he now?
  • what's bothering him?
  • does he still love ate Rose? or did he really loved ate Rose?
Countless questions and more arises each day. Ate Rose had nothing to do but cry...She even said, it's better is Kuya Maui was with the dead passengers so she knows exactly what's happening and could move on. But since Kuya Maui is alive and gone for unknown reason, her pain is just extreme. And she was left hanging... The last SMS she got was March 02 (Saturday) when Kuya Maui said "don't worry about me, i'm okay..." that was the last one.. In my mind, I thought he was so selfish because he only thought of himself but did he even wondered if ate Rose was also okay?... But nobody could tell his reason..and location..

She searched in many places, many ways.. but what to do? How could you find a person who wouldn't show up? They are married couple and Kuya Maui knows what number to text or call, what address to return to and all..But since he did nothing, then he has no intentions to tell ate Rose about a single thing at all..

It's been 5 months last August 1 and still now news of his hubby. Despite the many questions, I know at some time he hated his hubby but because her song of the season is a A Thousand Years then it's an evident that she is still waiting and loving kuya Maui. Despite the many questions, she'd still accept him..

That's the very reason why she liked the song..
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
She will still wait.. I know how it feels been brokenhearted from a failed relationship and I just couldn't imagine how much hurtful it is to lose a husband and even clueless about a single thing..

I pray that ate Rose will find strength in the Lord always. No one, not any human being can comfort her more than how God could. I'm also hoping Kuya Maui is all well and someday, hope sooner than soon he will return home so they could both move on and have a new start. I pray that the family of the victims be comforted too... Ate Rose I love you.. may your heart be still...
