Lyrics: I never dreamt Of falling in a love that feels like a poisoned kiss I never yearned For this pain that feels like Heavenly bliss Even though I am not the one you hold in your arms Every time you wake up Even though My name can only be uttered If the wind blows Just let it be Let a heart That is asking for One night to love How can I forget Promises that Seem to thrive only in darkness My life just stays quiet When suddenly You came and passed by Even though I am not the one you hold in your arms Every time you wake up Even though My name can only be uttered If the wind blows Just let it be My crazy heart And let it ask For one night to love Even though I am not the one you hold in your arms Every time you wake up Even though My name can only be uttered If the wind blows Every time you wake up Even though Our hands can only touch When no one's looking Just let it be My crazy heart And let it ask For one night to love For one night The song "Isang Gabi" by Julie Anne San Jose and Rico Blanco tells the story of unrequited love. The lyrics express the longing and pain of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings. The protagonist never imagined falling in a love that brings more pain than joy, comparing it to a poisoned kiss and heavenly bliss at the same time. They acknowledge that they are not the one the person holds in their arms or utters their name, emphasizing their desire for a fleeting moment of love. The protagonist wonders how they can forget the promises made in the darkness, the ones that only grow stronger in obscurity. Despite not being fully embraced or acknowledged, the protagonist longs for a chance to be loved, even if it's just for one night. They plead with the person to let their heart have a temporary moment of happiness. The song touches on the bittersweet nature of unreciprocated love and the hope for a small taste of affection, even if it's short-lived.
