Paradise (Book One)

I'd Rather

I thought sometime alone
was what we really needed
you said this time would hurt more than it helps
but I couldn't see that
I thought it was the end
of a beautiful story
and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone)
and I tried to find
out if this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah

And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long just fine
we wasted time because she was not you
we had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking
love was not impressed with our connection built on lies, all lies
so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
who holds my heart

I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,
I can only prove the things I say with time,
please be mine,

I'd rather have bad times with (please be mine) you,
than good times with someone else (I know)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime),
than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby)
I'd rather have hard times to gether,
than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart)

I'd rather have bad times with you (surely),
than good times with someone else (surely)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (oh yeah),
than safe and warm by myself (all by myself)
I'd rather have hard times together,
than to have it easy apart (you know it)
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoooo.....who holds my heart

"Hi!" Geralld uttered, the only word the he could muster out from his mouth.

"Hi..."Asher greeted back, surprised to see him in front of her penthouse.

Whenever she gets late with work, like tonight, she stayed in the penthouse. She just call yaya Luring letting her know na doon siya tumutuloy para hindi ito mag-alala. The place is shared with her father, though they don't stay there together at the same time. Since her father is away, she is using the place temporarily.

"What are you doing here? And how did you know I'm here?'

"Si Manong, he allowed me to get in. He said you're still in the building. I went to your office, no one's there, so I took the chance to come here."

She reminded herself to talk to the guard the next morning. He should not allow anyone to just go inside their building lalo na pag dis oras ng gabi.

"Look, wag ka nang magalit dun sa matanda. I forced him to allow me inside," sabi na lang ni Gerald.

"You're drunk!" she blatantly said when she smelled him of alcohol.

"I just came to see you. And talk to you, if possible."

Asher was just looking at Gerald, giving him a nonchalant look.

"I MISS YOU, babe."

Sa pagkabigla sa sinabi ng binata, hindi agad siya nakakibo at hindi nakaiwas nang bigla na lang siyang yakapin ni Gerald.
