Juan Miguel Severo- Spoken Words in OTWOL (English Translation)

Spoken Words for OTWOL

This is for those who are in love,
get hurt, but still continue to love.. because they are fools..

10 things I've learned from those who are in love.

First, Love is always sweet at the beginning...
of each morning where the first thing you see is her face,
have a thrill breakfast,
and when night comes, you think of her as you sleep.
Here, here you can learn the magic of smiles,
when other's hands touch your hair, eyes dive your soul.

Second, It's so easy to be complacent and get used to love and be drown in the power of US, WE, OURS,

but how about hers? How about mine?

It's easy to be drown by the belief that whatever yours will always be yours.

Third, You'll get tired,

but fourthly, True love will never be given up, right?

But fifth, True love isn't always enough.
When the wings it gave you got heavy and became a chain which doesn't like you to stand up, when the sky you flew became a cage,
and the key and lock is in you but still you don't wanna leave,

Sixth..Even the most terrible fire dies.
Get ready for the pain, but don't conceive hatred,

this is the seventh, it will leave you full of wounds, scars and blisters. It will leave you as ashes.

Eight, Get ready for the ending.

Nineth, I know that you aren't ready for the ending yet for maybe there isn't anybody ready for endings,

but tenth, Endings exist, and in the end, still love her through views, through sights fron the ashes left from your past fire.
Still love her,
but if the wings of your past love were tied, if the sky you once flew became a cage,
love her for the last time, and after that,..

Let go.
