Pagkakataon



Kanina sa gilid ng lawa sa takipsilim nadama ko ang katahimikan
Habang umiihip ang hangin na siyang yumayakap sa akin

Bagamat katabi ko siya
Pakiramdam ko ako'y mag-isa
Salamat sa kalangitan sa hangin at sa lawa
Lumbay ko'y napalitan ng kapayapaan

Alam kong ang biglang pagluha ko ay nasaksihan ng langit
Habang yakap naman ako ng malawak na tubig
At kalungkutan ko'y marahang tinangay ng hangin

Kung maaari lang na wag ng lisanin ang tila santwaryo
Ay mainam kong di nanaisin
Sapagkat sa lugar na yaon na malapit sa tubigan
Damdamin kong ito'y manapa ay may katahimikan

waiting

You'll never know and will never understand why tears keep falling from my eyes in the middle of the night. That fear of losing you kept creeping in my mind. That your answer will determine who I'll be for the next years of my life.

So make sure you decide fast. While I can still endure the wound in my heart. While I can still accept the pain that keeps on reminding me that it's now impossible you'll gonna come back.

Go on and leave me now. Even if I lay myself to sleep crying, don't you worry I'm a strong woman, remember? This too shall pass. Don't be too extra nice. I know you don't feel any love for me. I knew it from the start. I can manage. Just go.

I love you even if you don't. No there's no regret. I just love you. That's all that matters to me. And if ever the time comes that you realize that you do need me and that you love me, why you are still welcome. But I assure you, this time will be different.

And hey, I'm gonna miss you. :((

keep on pouring

The rain is supposed to keep me alive.
But today why am I maddened by its presence
Why do I feel like I'm dying inside
Knowing I should be in a happy state

For most I should celebrate
It's another year for me
Another opportunity
To correct the past mistake

In my mind I had it that way
Another day another year
I am most grateful it came

I just can't help but give more time to think things over
Moreso I can't help the tears that are flowing
Together with the rain they kept on pouring
How come the state of happiness which I should feel became a tearful state that made me grow weaker.
