we don’t belong

when i met you my days began to shine
moments with you and
thoughts of you filled my mind
but love is cruel i realized in time
breaking in tears for you will never be mine

living a life, sharing a life with you
all is wrong when i’m with you
i know
coz we don’t belong

the words you said can never erase the pain
it will remain and i’ll be alone all the same
oh love is cruel i realized in time
breaking in tears for you will never be mine

living a life, sharing a life with you
all is wrong when i’m with you
i know
coz we don’t belong

coz we don’t belong
your world is different
that no matter how i try
i just couldn’t fit it
i feel like an alien
your world is not mine
so i have to accept
now i know all is wrong
when im with you
coz we don’t belong

pagsuyo

sasamahan ka, pasasayahin,
hanggang mapanatili, mapatiwasay,
tuluyang makapagpahinga, madalisay.

aarugain ka, yayakapin,
pakikinggan, bawat mong hinaing,
tutulungan ka, kakalingain.

ipagtatanggol ka, susuyuin,
luha’y papawiin, aaliwin,
papayapain ka, pakamamahalin.

manhid

ang init ng ulo mo
di ka kamo nireply-an
ilang oras na naghintay
ang text mo lang nama’y
“gising ka na ba?”

naglasing ka na naman
di kamo siya nagparamdam
ilang araw na naghintay
gusto mo kamong alamin
“tayo pa ba?”

nag-iiyak ka na naman
wala ka pa ring alam
hindi ka lang masabihan
busy basta ikaw
walang pakialam.

pakiusap, masanay ka
sabihan ang sariling
huwag naman, huwag na lang
ang umasa sa wala
walang pupuntahan.

i will

i will be
as you want me to be

happy and free.

 

i will love
the same as i have loved

faithful and true.

 

i will make
each minute count

not a second wasted.

 

these were your wishes for me
these i shall do
so you will know
even as we part

i will never break your heart.

Hindi Kita Maaaring Saktan

Dahil walang sawang iyong binabanggit
Mga katagang sa diwa ko’y tuluyang pumagkit
Liriko ng iyong pagsamo’t pagmamahal
Kaya’t iyong dinggin upang malaman
Hindi kita maaaring saktan.

Malayang masasabi at magiging sigaw
Inspirasyong sumilay sa katauhang panglaw
Sa iyong pagsuyo na walang kawangis
Iyong asahan at pakatandaan
Hindi ko makakayang ika’y saktan.

Ang pusong yaring sa iyo ay nangako
Dumating man ang pagsubok at ika’y lumayo
Mananatiling ikaw ay kasama sa dalangin
Kahit sa panahong ako’y makalimutan
Hindi ko makakaya, hindi kakayanin
Hindi kita maaaring saktan.

not like before

you came into my dreams
even there, you take your distance
sitting in your lonesome
away from the boisterous crowd

in my dreams, i tried to reach out
to ask how have you been
but you sadly looked away
even before i can utter a word

but it was only a dream
and now that i’m awake i thought
i haven’t been thinking about you like before
not every minute anymore.

huwag ako

huwag ako
hindi ko na kayang bumangon
sa walang oras at panahon
upang gumising
kahit maduling
sa antok
maipadama ko lamang
na handa kitang
samahan.

huwag ako
hindi na ‘ko sanay magisa
at tumanggap ng paalam
ayoko ng maiwan
at maguluhan
na naman
sa kawalan ng pakialam
kahit handa kitang
pakinggan.

huwag ako
hindi na ako singlakas ng dati
na walang inaalintanang
katiting na pasubali
at mag-ipon
ng pag-asa
sa patuloy na kinakayang
pasanin.

huwag ako
hindi na kita kayang alagaan
at magmistulang
isang kwento
upang mabigyan ka
ng isang minuto
na higit sa sariling
kapakanan.

huwag ako
dahil hindi mo kayang pukawin
ang naidlip kong kamalayan.

huwag ako.

dahil hindi na ikaw.

umpisa pa lang,
wala namang ikaw.

nakakapanibago

naninibago sila sa ‘yo.
di na raw madalas
kumunot ang ‘yong noo;
masigla ka na rin
at hindi na antukin.

napapansin ka nila.
malimit ka na raw
ngumiti at tumawa;
ang dating suplado
tila mahikang naglaho.

bakit parang ‘di ko napansin
na ika’y dating bugnutin?
at kung ako’y nangungulit
kahit paulit-ulit
di ka naman nagsusungit.

‘di ako naniniwalang
nakakatakot kang nilalang.
mukha ka ngang prinsipeng
laging handang umakay
sa tulad kong pasaway.

just a yes

it was simply just a yes
straight, forward, without a nod

just a yes
poker-faced, all a-mystery, too odd

it was a yes
not nearly sweet, but thicker than blood

simply, impossibly – a yes
it may all sound so plain and meaningless

but it is a yes
so complete like a word uttered by a god.

the way we used to

we may not talk
the way we used to
nor laugh
the way we used to do

yes, you can say
things have changed
insanely maddening
time has changed

but did you?
did I?

you still are the source
of everything by and by.
