The LDR Song

Isipin Mo Na Lang

Sung by: Bayang Barrios
Composed by: Mike Villegas
From the album: ALON
OST of Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros

Nangangamba ka ba
Na ngayong malayo ka
Ako kaya ay magbago

Hinahanap ko ba sa iba ang ligaya
Ngayong tayo’y magkalayo

Manatili’t huwag matinag
Sa pag-ibig mo ay bihag
Ang puso kong ito

Isipin mo na lang, ang ating samahan
At ang pag-ibig ko sa ‘yo
Isipin mo na lang, ang ating samahan
At ang pag-ibig ko sa ‘yo

Isipin mo na lang, ngayong natagpuan
Tunay na magmamahal sa akin
At ang nag-iisang hadlang
Ay ang pansamantalang paghihintay
Ba’t di ko gagawin

Manatili’t huwag matinag
Sa pag-ibig mo ay bihag
Ang puso kong ito

Not everybody can appreciate long distance relationship as it is.

They say it's a waste of time and a lot of struggle. Ergo, too exhausting, too expensive and very impractical.

But when you're into an LDR, one has to invest a lot of trust and love. It involves greater risk on both part since physical presence is absent.

To trust that love is reason enough to keep a person away from temptaions and human vulnerabilities...

To trust that love will withstand the distance and the loneliness...

To trust that love will wait for the realization of that one great dream of being reunited once more and be with each other for good...

The same sentiments and dream I share with other people whose distance did not deter them from letting love get through the other end -- across borders, beyond miles and separated by geographic locations.
