SECRET LOVERS By: Atlantic Starr

Here we are, the two of us together
Takin’ this crazy chance to be all alone
We both know that we should not be together
‘Cause if we’re found out, it could mess up
Both our happy homes

I hate to think about us all meeting up together
‘Cause as soon as I look at you it will show on my face, yeah
Then they’ll know that we’ve been loving each other
We can’t let ‘em know, no, no, no
We can’t leave a trace

Secret lovers, yeah, that’s what we are
We should not be together
But we can’t let go, no, no
‘Cause we love each other so
Ooh…ooh…

Sittin’ at home, I do nothin’ all day
But I think about you and hope that you’re okay
Hopin’ you’ll call before anyone gets home
I wait anxiously alone by the phone

How could something so wrong be so right
I wish we didn’t have to keep our love out of sight, yeah
Living two lives just ain’t easy at all
But we gotta hang on in there or fall

Secret lovers, yeah, that’s what we are
Tryin’ so hard to hide the way we feel
‘Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can’t let go
‘Cause what we feel is, oh, so real
So real, so real

You and me, are we friends
Is this cool or do we care
Can they tell what’s in our minds
Maybe they’ve had secret loves all of the time

In the middle of making love we notice the time
We both get nervous ‘cause it’s way after nine
Even though we hate it, we know it’s time that we go
We gotta be careful so that no one will know

Secret lovers, yeah, that’s what we are
Trying so hard to hide the way we feel
‘Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can’t let go
‘Cause what we feel is, oh, so realS
o real, so real, so real, so real

Tender, Loving, Care

Got this phrase from a Hong Kong movie titled "L for Loves, L for Lies" starred by Stephy Tang and Alex Fung. Quite a nice movie about relationship for passing time should you have 2hrs with nothing to do.

"Liking a person doesn't mean that we can be together in a relationship. We don't see the flaws of each other until we get into a relationship. And being in a relationship together, it's important that both can accept each other's flaws without expecting either party to change."

Any thought provoked? Well, although in the movie, it was the girl telling the back-up boyfriend that "like" doesn't mean that they are ideal for relationship for they haven't cared much about each others flaws given that the relationship is not real.

For me, there was a sudden thought provoked. It brings back some memories of those potential relationship that stops just at friendship. Hmm... for once, sounds like i shouldn't regret about not bringing those relationship into the next level. Many friends have told me that i should have give it a try, test out first. Otherwise you won't know for sure. Besides, why waste an opportunity that was served on a plate right infront.

I guess the reason is simple. I have high respects for others and myself. Humans are emotional beings, we have feelings and felt greatly towards emotions that touch us, moved us, such as love. Why should we start a relationship with someone just because the opportunity arises. If lots of people start a relationship just opportunity arises, then lots of hearts would break, especially for those irresponsible being that applies "try first, worry later" theory.

Heart and feelings are fragile, that's why TLC (Tender, Loving, Care). Appreciate others, respect others and above all, help others. Don't take opportunity on others in relationship because opportunity arises.

A simple comparison based on my perception,

Like - mostly related to tangibles (looks, appearance, clothing, body-shape, lots of cash, big house)

Love - mostly intangible (how a person makes you feel, personality of a person)

Given that "like" are mostly tangible, it is high-risk should you go into a relationship for this reason. This person looks good today, but if the looks is no longer there. Humans age, accidents happens. Body-shape, would you still like when a "pear shape" turns to "ball shape" after giving birth. Big house, lots of cash. Would the like remains should an about turn due to wrong investments and lost everything?

Wherelse, "love" are intangible aspects. It doesn't change over night. It evolves through things that happens to us, and our environment. Eventhough it evolves, the traits remains. You'll feel the same way towards a person / thing for a long long time.

So there is actually a thin fine line between "like" and "love". Don't confused with them and mess up others' life. Treat others with the respect that you expect to receive in return from others. Love them for who they are and not what they are.

Always remember, "Tender, Loving, Care".
