Imagine you both listen to this song and hoping that there's a lifetime waiting for the both of you.

[lovelightwarmth]

perhaps he met her in his past lifetime, a lifetime wherein he didn’t took the risk and they ended up being apart. now he keeps on getting glimpses of her in the present, in his daydreams. fragments of his lost love. the surge of regret and agony from the past was way too heavy that he carried it until now, until this lifetime.

she was never his in the past, now she’s his art.

what a lifetime it would’ve been if only they tried.

[renaleign]

I forgive the world a little because Ben&Ben (and their songs) are in it ❤️💛

[afterhoursphotography]

The hardest love to forget was the one that never happened

[charissacoleen]

To my “lifetime”: I give up on the concept of “us”, but would love to save the friendship we have. Can’t deny the fact that i’m still wishing on the stars that someday maybe we could. I will remain as someone who loves you no matter what happens— even if it means you being happy with someone else. I’m still here, loving you from afar. You will have me. All of me. Even in another lifetime.

[ashermarcus]

Parang naniniwala na ako sa, “Chances are only given to those people who are willing to give it a shot.”

[kpopvocalanalysisstan]

THE COUNTRY NEEDS TO GIVE MORE APPRECIATION TO ORIGINAL AND ARTISTIC ARTISTS LIKE THEM. NOT JUST TO MERE BELTERS AND KARAOKE SINGERS.

[zayvs]

7 billion beating hearts and i fall for someone who didn't beat for me

[zyrajosol]

This is really what a painter means: If I cant have you in a lifetime i'll paint you with my pain in a canvas, that at least for once I can call you mine.

[mjb]

This is like the sad version of that greek mythology where the artist fell in love with his work however in that mythology the gods blessed the man and made his work (sculpture) into life.

[jannamarie]

Lakas makasingle ng comment section. Pero for you who is reading this, i hope you will meet the someone who's willing to spend his/her lifetime with you. Have a good day everyone!

[papachen]

Sometimes our greatest love is the one we never had

[bldiaries]

If the girl is from the artist’s imagination, then

“You were a good dream”

really fits the music video

[winx]

no one:
ME: listening to ben&ben's songs, scrolling thru the comment section and reading someone's story and experiences na related sa song

[yaboredboii]

WHO’S WITH ME HERE LOOKING AT THE COMMENTS LOOKING FOR SOME HEART-FELT AND WHOLESOME STORIES ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES??? kasi SANA ALL 🥺😭

[JackylynMLopez]

I had this mysterious guy in my dreams. He started appearing on my dreams before my 18th birthday. I just really don't know how he looks like, I can't visualize his facial features but I know his a guy. Isang beses ko lang siya napaginipan pero nong nagising ako, may kakaiba talaga kong naramdaman. The dreams I had with him felt so real as if he's my boyfriend. Hanggang dumating na yung 18th birthday ko, hindi ko na ulit napaginipan pa yung mysterious guy. A week after my 18th birthday, I've met a guy. We became close because we get along well, we have a lot of common interest particularly in terms of music. I fell for him first like crush ko na siya kahit nong time na nakakausap ko palang siya and hindi ko pa siya nakikita or namemeet in person though he was the first one to confess. Our feelings were mutual, pero the label was never there.

He was my first love, my greatest love, my home, my safe haven, my sanctuary, my escape, my calm in this chaotic world, and he was the one that got away.
I don't have the right and I can't demand time and attention from him because he was never mine. But we act as if we were lovers—not the typical lovers where there's only sweet and spicy moments and nonsensical fights, but lovers where there is intimacy and purity. I knew what love (the type of love I never felt with my family and friends) felt like because of him. Sa kanya ko naramdaman yung love and care na madalas ako yung nag-bibigay. He really brings happiness to my life. I was only waiting for him to ask me to be his. I could see my future with him. But then after the time of having a 'mutual understanding' with him. I've decided to left him because I realized that I shouldn't settle for that. As if I'm the one who's only begging for his love. Sabihin na natin, maybe I ghosted him. I did that kase ayokong lumalim pa yung nararamdaman ko for him, I was to scared to risk and to get hurt. I left him without knowing his side and that's my biggest regret.


Months had past already, and today, I'm still asking myself where I went wrong. Everything was so perfect back then. It was like a dream. I wasn't sure if he really loved me, but there's something holding me from being with him.


This song is literally our story. Every line hits me.


"Was there a lifetime waiting for us in a world where I was yours?"


I always asked myself, I really had many what-ifs in my mind because of him. paano kaya kung hindi ako umalis o nawala, paano kung nagpatuloy parin ako despite the fact na wala kong pinang-hahawakan na kasiguraduhan sa kung anong meron saming dalawa. may habangbuhay kaya na naghihintay sa mundo naming dalawa?
"Oh, you were a good dream"


naniniwala talaga ako na siya yung taong nasa panaginip ko. the guy I've met after my 18th birthday was also the mysterious guy in my dreams. iniisip ko na nga na baka yung panaginip ko, it was a sign na makikilala ko siya at magiging malaki yung epekto niya sa buhay ko.


"I was scared to lose you then
But secrets turn into regrets
Buried feelings grow"


sobrang true to life neto, ayoko talagang mawala siya sakin noon. natatakot ako na kapag nawala siya hindi na ko muling magiging masaya pa. nangyari na nga, I already lose him because sinekreto ko lahat ng nararamdaman ko para sa kanya. nawala ako na hindi man lang nalalaman yung side niya. (secrets turn into regrets) yes, until now I still have my regrets on not taking risk to be with him.


"Was it the wrong time,
What if we tried giving in a little more
To the warmth we had before?"


iniisip ko nga baka maling pagkakataon kase I was really too young to have the courage and to risk my life with him. what if we tried giving in a little more, what if I just go with the flow baka hanggang ngayon we're still together. what If I didn't get scared to take risk maybe I didn't lose him.


No one knows what the future holds. But I could see myself grow old, in my death bed, still waiting for him in secret. We may have failed to spend a lifetime together in this life, but if another life existed, I hope to have the life where I get to spend my lifetime with you.

[justhere]

"Buried feelings grow"

I told him about my feelings. He knew all along, pero di lang niya pinansin. One thing I realized while listening to this is that, tell the person. Kahit pa masakit ang outcome, tell him. Either way, someone's going to be hurt anyway. Ang importante, wala kang regrets.

[aezy]

Tonight, I finally put an end to my unrequited love of 3 years. He introduced me to your music 2 years ago. And coincidentally, whenever you released songs it was always as if it was made perfectly for me. I’m really thankful for your music. It gave me so much hope, inspiration and strength. Even though he was never mine, I just want him to know that whoever he may end up with I pray for his happiness. I have no guts to send this directly but here’s to the beginning of an end. I don’t know what we were but whatever we had, it will always hold a special place in my heart. Live well❣️

"I was scared to lose you feelings grow"

4 years of friendship. It took a teasing from a workmate to realize that I have feelings for my friend for years already. I confessed to my friend on the same night without thinking and fearing that if I don't do this there will be no more chances while he was in another country. Turns out we were both feeling the same way. He didn't even want to believe me, thought he was just tired from work, or I was playing with him but turns out we both just didn't know the like grew into love and we were too slow to process it. Now we are dating for 2years and counting. Happy we took the risk despite all the fear and nervousness we both felt that night of confession.

Lifetime keeps taking me back to that risky night confession and reminds me of us a lot💞

[mabelzoa]

I read this somewhere and it still hits me hard "do you really like him or are you just emotionally attached to the version of
Him You've made up in your mind"
