wishthatyouwerehere - another writing excuse

wish that you were here. when i first attempted to write about this song, i was on vacation back home. it was hard for me to fully immerse myself in a song full of longing and missing someone when i was surrounded by loving family and friends ;). fast forward a couple of weeks and i'm back to my natural habitat -- alone and homesick. 

and yet, i still could not seem to find the right words.

so i thought of an experiment....every time i think of someone or something i miss, i will write down words...yes, words. should be simple, yeah? right.   

(see previous posts for those attempts)

i could manage a few words but it would always sound so cheesy......even when all i was writing about was that it was hot and i wish i had halo-halo. haha!

so how can someone write such sweet and thoughtful words and make them sound so sincere? and put them all together in a beautiful song? talent...loads and loads of talent.

makes me wonder too how he came up with said song when he's not really in that place in his life...maybe it was a past experience or from a friend who's in a long distance relationship...or it can also be something as mundane as, yes, wishing he had halo-halo one hot muggy day. whatever or however it came into being, the song is definitely wonderful and special...as special and wonderful as the man who wrote it. :)

and i wish i could come up with words more worthy of the song instead of another writing excuse.

sorry.
