That Little Continuum Where Canada Comes To Life

During Filipino class, I'm seated next to the window.

That beautiful window that is the only side that I'm not surrounded by classmates. It's my breathing space. That one special place I can look out of during tests and not be accused of cheating (oh what, you'll magically see the answers in the clouds?). That one beacon that I can glance out of and see the future that awaits me after Filipino class, white clouds and a city that brims with life.

And it's there, when the wind suddenly blows from my back right that I am just enclosed with visions and feelings of Canada. It's beautiful, when I think of Superstore, the chips aisle there. The sunsets as we drove down the long winding road towards our B&B. The mornings where I'd sneak out of bed, flip dad's laptop open and play until it was about 7. Then mom and dad would come by and force me to eat breakfast. But those few hours I had for chatting were what kept me alive. And then there was Waitin' On The Wonderful. That song was beautiful. I couldn't live without it. And the Coquitlam Library with the cherry blossoms outside and the nice parking lot that you always had to endure walking through just to get in. The outside of Courtney's house on our way to Pinetree.

God I miss Canada.

Walter, Kenn, Jackie, Christian, Cath, Char, Ienne and I have been friends for quite a while now.

Interesting.

Drive To You by Jewel

Tonight I have the strangest feeling
Look for answers on a hotel ceiling
When did my heart first feel this way?
Being alone used to be just fine
Now, life without you is just passing time

I thought I heard you call my name
Reached for you're hand, it was in vain
When you are not here, feels like a hole in my chest
Get dressed, look in the mirror, say "Oh God, I’ll never be the same"

So I drive to you tonight
I was blind, now I have sight
I couldn’t leave you even if I tried
You're heart beats inside of me
Like a star in the dark of night, like birds lost in flight.
The clouds in the sky are blue; I belong with you

I've been together but felt alone
I've made love without love being shown
I've seen sorrow in a pair of dice
All things that came in two's made me cry, until tonight

So I drive to you tonight
I was blind, now I have sight
I couldn’t leave you even if I tried
You're heart beats inside of me
Like a star in the dark of night, like birds lost in flight.
The clouds in the sky are blue; I belong with you

I can't stop, won't stop
Love is all we got
I know we’ve reached the top when I put my arms around you
I can’t stop, won’t stop
You are all I want

So I drive to you tonight
I was blind, now I have sight

So I drive to you tonight
I was blind, now I have sight
I couldn’t leave you even if I tried, you're heart beats inside of me
Like a star in the dark of night, like birds lost in flight.
The clouds in the sky are blue
The clouds in the sky are blue; I belong with you
