Earlier tonight, I heard this song on my car radio ... Leona Lewis' "HAPPY" ....
This song is one of my God-Brother's favourite song where chances of us singing it during Karaoke sessions are very likely .... [ Haha .. You guys wouldn't want to hear me sing, Trust Me ....! ]
You guys should watch the MTV first .... You will not expect to have that kinda Happy Ending [ especially to those who've never seen the music video before -- "Guarantee" you will cry immediately! -- Pardon me for the Manglish, ya! Hehe ]
Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can't have everything
Don't you take chances
Might feel the pain
Don't you love in vain
Cause love won't set you free
I can't stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be
[Chorus:]
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause i'm just trying to be happy, yeah
Just wanna be happy, yeah
[Verse 2:]
Holding on tightly
Just can't let it go
Just trying to play my role
Slowly disappear, ohh
But all these days, they feel like they're the same
Just different faces, different names
Get me out of here
I can't stand by your side, ohh no
And watch this life pass me by, pass me by
[Chorus:]
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause i'm just trying to be happy, ohh, happy, ohh
[Bridge:]
So any turns that I can't see,
like I'm a stranger on this road
But don't say victim
Don't say anything
[Chorus:]
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
[Outro:]
I just wanna be happy
Ohh, yeah, happy, ohh, happy
I just wanna be, ohh
I just wanna be happy
Ohh, happy
What you win or lose
You can't have everything
Don't you take chances
Might feel the pain
Don't you love in vain
Cause love won't set you free
I can't stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be
[Chorus:]
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause i'm just trying to be happy, yeah
Just wanna be happy, yeah
[Verse 2:]
Holding on tightly
Just can't let it go
Just trying to play my role
Slowly disappear, ohh
But all these days, they feel like they're the same
Just different faces, different names
Get me out of here
I can't stand by your side, ohh no
And watch this life pass me by, pass me by
[Chorus:]
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause i'm just trying to be happy, ohh, happy, ohh
[Bridge:]
So any turns that I can't see,
like I'm a stranger on this road
But don't say victim
Don't say anything
[Chorus:]
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
[Outro:]
I just wanna be happy
Ohh, yeah, happy, ohh, happy
I just wanna be, ohh
I just wanna be happy
Ohh, happy
It's actually a song about a woman who loves a guy and the guy loved her ... And eventually she became the bridesmaid for the guy's wife during his Wedding ....
I know .. It's very sad, right? Seeing the guy you loved most, marrying your best friend ....
I know a gay person, whose life is almost similar to that song ... But it can only be more sad. He has two ex-(es), whom he really loved and remained close friends, but both of them eventually got married to woman -- Yup! They decided to turn straight all of a sudden.
When he shared his stories to me, my heart really felt for him ...
The first partner got married and currently has two kids. My friend was his "Best Man" during the wedding reception and at the same time, is the God-Father for that two kids.
The second partner was even more heart wrenching -- He was with the guy for about 4 years -- broke up for several years and eventually, last year, he became the partner's "Best Man" , "Ring Bearer" and even borrowed his car as the wedding carriage -- Drove the wedding car to the bride's house ....
Imagine how big hearted is my friend, to become the Best Man for his two close friends -- seeing them happy with their respective partners during the entire event -- Knowing that he will never be their Prince Charming, that will grow old together, till death to us part partner :-(
I'm sure some of my readers have experienced or known someone, who has undergone this scenario before. All I can advise to those people out there -- Please do not give up hope in gay relationship. I know you might be afraid of being unable to find the love one for the rest of your life, but please, there are many gay friends that are close enough with you, that you can always share, laugh, spend time, dine together, till death do us part - friends -- that will always bring happiness to your life.
Cheers.
[ p/s: The shocking part is that, both guys that got married are actually power bottoms! -- Seriously! -- Your gaydars doesn't lie! -- Guys who have never topped a guy before, eventually has two kids and one is coming soon! @_@ -- Talking about ironic, kan?! ]

Simon..are you getting married soon??..hehe
@Anonymous: Hahaha -- I can't imagine myself fucking a girl, my dear! =P
I have met one two gay friends who are married and with kids. I believe they are poor ones stuck in the middle point of gay and straight. Hence, got married, according to the norm. Well, we will just sit back and enjoy the life show :) There are always two sides in each stories.
