Boy No More

Boys Don't Cry

I would say I'm sorry
if I thought that it would change your mind
but I know that this time
I've said too much
been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
cover it all up with lies
I try and
laugh about it
hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
and beg forgiveness
plead with you
but I know that
it's too late
and now there's nothing I can do

so I try to laugh about it
cover it all up with lies
I try to
laugh about it
hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry

I would tell you
that I loved you
if I thought that you would stay
but I know that it's no use
that you've already
gone away

Misjudged your limits
pushed you too far
took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything
to get you back by my side
but I just
keep on laughing
hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
boys don't cry
boys don't cry

I grew up having boys as my friends - Maikel,Briann, Adriel and Cirian. They were, are and will forever be MY BEST BOY FRIENDS! I have become the makulit, sometimes yakky, epal, maingay girl that i am right now because of them. And this song is like our FRIENDSHIP SONG - BOYS DON'T CRY by the cure. note it was and still is our song since they thought (i thought, too!) i am ONE of the boys.

I have my own share of them-always-getting-into-my-nerve. I have my own share of crying moments kasi sobrang iniinis nila ako.

But having them around made me feel really blessed. they made me feel well protected and guarded. with them around, I am really well taken good care of minus of course their kakulitan and all.

Long before TGIS has their group hug, we already have that since I was like around 8 or 9 years old.

I feel so damn good everytime I hear them still call me kuting. feels like home.

I know that we all have our own "grown up" lives na. Ciriann is already in the US and sobrang mayaman na, Adriel also in the US juggling work and school, Briann is now a law student, Maikel is already UP THERE, enjoying perfection and me... nah! crazy, pretty me!

I remember when i'd always cry to them because natalo ako sa pog and sa text and they'd sing boys don't cry to me and then after wards i'll stop crying na. not because I thought I was a boy and that I shouldn't cry but because hearing them sing this song made me feel ok.

Haay, I miss the good 'ol days.
