Key to My Heart: My Last Request
As Nicole Mendoza thinks back on the night she had, she realizes that life can be the most amazing thing in the world, as long as you find the best in every person and live life happily, no matter how bad it would get.
Meeting a celebrity like Robi de Leon - with hundreds of girls at the concert obviously jealous of her - has opened her eyes completely. With Robi, she found herself complete for once in her life, even though she didn't know him. She felt that even infront of all those people, she could be herself with him.
So maybe one day she'll feel like that way with another boy. Because the feeling truly was once in a lifetime.
Robi is in the recording studio, because a girl by the name of Nicole Mendoza had inspired him to write a new song.
“Okay Robi, if this is as good as everyone is saying it is, I'm pretty sure we can make it your next single, or at least onto your next album” Maryann, his manager - and mother - said happily.
But Robi was too busy overlooking the lines and hoping at a certain girl hears this song to hear her.
She smiles, thinking maybe her son has found someone to love.
“Okay Robi, you can start” she said.
He looks up at her, and then at the microphone.
“Thanks mom” he said, while smiling.
“Yes all that I can say
Is she's my last request
Everything else is suddenly taken over
And I'm my own regret
And all that I wanted is out of my hands
Out of my Hands -
Within the song you can feel the passion, the emotion going through this young man. It seems that for once, his lyrics have truly come from the heart.
“When your smile becomes the reason I breathe
And your eyes become the motive to see
then all that I can say
Is she's my last request
Everything else is suddenly taken over
And I'm my own regret
And all that I wanted is out of my hands
Out of my Hands
She's my last request
And all that I wanted is out of my hands “
As Robi opens his eyes, he sees that everyone else in the room is quiet and looking at him with pride.
He looks around, then says “Was it that bad?”
His mom looks at him and then bursts out laughing.
“Don't worry Robi, this will be a Top Ten hit for sure” she said in between hiccups.
Nikki was driving home from the mall with her friends, Beauty and Melissa, who also went with her to the Robi de Leon Concert.
“I can't believe you were up there on stage with him Nik. What was it like?” Melissa gushed.
“Oh my gosh yeah, I mean, he just picked you out of the crows! It must have been AMAZING” Beauty continued on.
Nikki's face was now turning into a bright pink, and before she could answer, the radio announced something that caught all three girls' attention:
“Up next ladies and gents, Robi de Leon's latest single, entitled “My Last Request”. Now the dish on this baby is that it was inspired by a young woman with whom Robi met at a concert a few days ago. And as usual, Robi's music is always improving, and this one's no different. So get ready, Robi's new hit will be playing in a few seconds”
“OH MY GOSH, NIKKI IT'S ABOUT YOU!!” Melissa and Beauty screamed over and over.
Even before these words came out of her best friends' mouths, Nikki was turning even brighter than it was earlier.
“No way guys. I mean, it's Robi de Leon. He probably does that at all his concerts! Out of all the people in the world, what are the chances that this song is about me?” she said, still trying not to blush.
Before the two could reply, Robi's voice starts to talk on the radio.
“Hey listeners, it's me, Robi. This is my new song, it's called 'My Last Request'. It's about this beautiful girl that I did meet at one of my 'One Dream, One Stage, One Voice' tour a couple days ago. She was up on stage with me, and she was singing as if she had the most beautiful voice in history. Which wasn't necissarily false, since her voice was very angelic. Anyways, enjoy the hit! She knows who she is. This is Robi de Leon, signing off”
“Holy crap, it is about me” Nikki whispered to herself.
“I TOLD YOU SOOOO!” came from Melissa and Beauty over and over and over again.
And within the teasing and blushing with Nicole and the crowd and the music with Robi, and beautiful song faded to silence like the sunset in the winter.
“When your smile becomes the reason I breathe
And your eyes becomes the motive to see
But if it's better for your health
To say the love,
It lives in someone else
And all that I can say
And all that I can say
Is she my last request
Everything else is suddenly taken over
And I'm my own regret
And all that I wanted is out of my hands
Your thoughts of war,
Religion and love,
Are the things that I recall when you're gone
And now I'm left without a clue
On where I stood in line when I lost you
And all that I can say
Yes all that I can say
Is she my last request?
Everything else is suddenly taken over
And I'm my own regret
And all that I wanted is out of my hands
Out of my hands
When your smile becomes the reason I breathe
And your eyes becomes the motive to see
Then all I can say
Is she my last request
Everything else is suddenly taken over
And I'm my own regret
And all that I wanted is out of my hands
Out of my hands
She's my last request
And all that I wanted is out my hands ”
