"How Did You Know?" - Gary Valenciano
What a turnaround 2012. You sure kicked 2010 and 2011 in the balls and it's only Day 2. I gotta say that it's definitely been a while since I've felt this excited and I know there's more to it than just the start of a new year. Let me take a breath before I attempt to grasp onto this passed Friday night.
It's been a week since I've been coughing up what feels like my right lung. So I bathed in Eucalyptus, wrapped myself up in my jammies, and pulled the covers over me. I knew I couldn't hibernate in here for too long because for some reason, my family wanted to go out to dinner at our good ol' reliable Chinese restaurant. "It's important," they said. "We need to have a family meeting." Hmmmm... never the kind of news I want to hear when I feel at my worst. I didn't even want to put real clothes on let alone replenish my eyebrows. But something told me to attempt to look better on the outside than I felt in the inside. So, I made an attempt and off we went.
Ok, ok so I did expect something. My family never plans to go out for dinner. That's my job. It's the only thing I set up and take care of for them. Plus, they aren't very good at keeping secrets. So I have to admit I had a feeling something was up. I almost had an inkling that a surprise was in store for me. Geminis have a keen sense for this kinda stuff. So much so that I checked in with everyone once I left early from work just in case. Sadly, when no one responded right away (which is a dead giveaway for surprises) I started doubting my own skills at figuring things out before anyone could be the wiser. And when I pulled up to a quiet house, I felt a slight pang of disappointment creep in. No surprise. No package. Nothing.
I thought for sure if anything was going to happen it was going to happen at the restaurant, but at that point my energy level was at an all-time low. The possibility of being surprised was shot to shit because I just wasn't feeling it. My doubts started to win me over when I entered only to find a half-empty place with enough chairs to fit the immediate family. We sat at a large round table with a Lazy Susan and my sister even assigned where we should all sit. This is pretty unusual for our usual place so I started to wonder, "Must be big news." My thoughts started to refocus on my brother in-law and a rare speech I thought he was going to make and then my sisters started giggling. "What's so funny?" I thought. "Why aren't you guys listening to him or taking him seriously?" I asked, confused. Little did I know that with my back turned, the surprise I wanted to see was walking towards me.
Suddenly I hear, "Excuse me Miss, but is this seat taken?" My heart jumped into my throat. I instantly recognized the voice and turned around. A well-groomed man stood before me decked out in a long-sleeve tan sweater underneath a jacket, over dark denim and dress shoes. I leaped off my seat and screamed, "What are you doing here?!" And then my black eyeliner started to run down my cheeks. I shut my eyes from the stinging sensation. "Open your eyes, open your eyes," he said calmly to me, lifting up my chin to face him. Behind my hysterical tears I just couldn't believe that he was right in front of me.
But then again, we've known all along didn't we?
Lyrics:
I remember so well
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile
My life started to change
I'd wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine
How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there's an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life
I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you
How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there's an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life
I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you
