Literary: Baka Sakali


Nalalapit na ang araw ng mga puso.

Maaari bang maging “tayo?”
Nagdadalawang isip kung sasabihin sa’yo.

Paano ko sasabihin?
Paano ba aamin?

Naguguluhan at nag-aalangan,
Kung pareho ba tayo ng nararamdaman.

Takot na ako’y iwanan,
Mababalewala ang pinagsamahan.

Takot na muling masaktan,
Huwag nang ibalik ang nakaraan.

Loob ko’y patatatagin.

Ako nama’y maghihintay pa rin.

Naghahandang ika’y tanungin.

Pagkakataong ito’y hindi sasayangin.

Magbabaka sakaling,
Ako’y mahal mo rin.

Literary: Dear Kupido



Dear Kupido J Buckets,

Bakit po ganoon? Hanggang ngayon single pa din ako? Maganda naman ako, sexy, nakakatawa at mabait. Pero bakit lagi akong sawi? Bakit ako lagi ang iniiwan? Bakit kailangan ako lang parati ang nasasaktan? Bakit?

Baliko ba yang pana mo? Para kasing tuwing pumapana ka ng lalaking para sa akin ay tumatama sa iba. Okay sana kung lalaki kaya lang bading ang tinamaan, kung di naman bading, may girlfriend naman. Papagawan na ba kita ng salamin sa mata? Nang minsan naman ay masakto mo sa lalaking tunay na magmamahal sa’kin ‘yang pana ng pag-ibig mo.

Hindi naman ako naghahangad ng masyado. Okay na ako sa lalaking matangkad, mga 5 11' ang height, matangos ilong, naka-undercut, blue eyes, may abs, marunong kumanta at maggitara, may timbang na di lalampas sa 70 kg, may bigote at magaling sa Math. Kahit yan lang, okay na ko.

Hindi naman sa nagmamadali ako, pero sana po kupido ay bilis-bilisan mong maghanap ng target kasi halos 1 linggo na lang, araw na ng mga puso. Pagod na akong magdiwang ng mag-isa. Yung tipong manonood ka ng sine, wala kang kasama, walang bibili ng popcorn para sa'yo, walang maghihintay sa labas pagkatapos mo mag-CR, wala kang masasandalan sa jeep pag inaantok ka na.

Sa hinaba-haba nitong sulat ko, ni hindi ko alam kung totoo ka ba o kathang-isip. Pero ito ako, sumusulat pa rin sa’yo. Umaasa na kahit kaunti mapagbigyan mo itong mga hiling ko at masagot mo itong mga tanong na napakatagal ng nakaimbak sa puso ko.

Nagmamahal (pero laging sawi at konti na lang mapapagod na itong isip at puso ko),
Dimples

Dear Dimples,

Alam kong ika'y isang napakagandang babae sapagkat ang katulad mo ay mahirap mahanap." One in a million" kumbaga. At sa aking palagay you deserve the best, nothing but the best. Ngunit pagpasenyahan mo sana ako, dahil hindi ko rin alam ang mga tiyak na kasagutan sa mga tanong mo. Basta't ang alam ko lang, kapag para sa iyo ang isang tao, dumaan man ang lahat ng problema ay mananatili ito sa tabi mo kahit anong mangyari. Kaya't kung lagi kang iniiwan ng mga lalaking sinasabi mo, baka ito ay dahil hindi pa tama ang oras at hindi pa din sila ang Mr. Right mo.

Hindi naman baliko ang pana ko at malinaw naman ang mata ko. Sa tingin ko nga ay iyang puso mo ang malabo ang paningin dahil hindi sa mga lalaking minahal mo nakatutok ang pana ko. Mali lang siguro ang tingin ng puso mo. Masyado ka kasi yatang nagmamadali sa pag-ibig kaya nakakalimutan mong hindi ito dapat hinanahanap dahil ito ay kusang dumarating, biglaan at walang pasabi. Baka nga katabi mo na pala sya, hindi mo lang namamalayam dahil tutok ka sa pagtingin sa kagandahang lalaki at di mo na napapansin ang kagandahang loob ng isang lalaki.

Hindi lingid sa akin na isang linggo na lang ay araw na naman ng mga puso. Alam na alam ko iyan dahil milyong-milyong sulat na naman kagaya nito ang dumarating sa opisina ko. Kaya't humihingi ako ng pasensya kung hindi ko agad agad napagbibigyan ang mga hiling nyo. Nag-iisa lang kasi ako at pitong bilyon kayong mga taong naghahangad magmahal at mahalin. Kung kaya ko lamang na tuparin agad agad ang lahat ng iyon ay gagawin ko talaga. Ngunit naniniwala ako na ang lahat ng bagay ay may tinakdang oras, perfect timing kumbaga, kaya't sana'y makapaghintay ka pa ng kaunti. Sa ngayon, ipagdiwang mo muna ang araw ng mga puso kasama ng pamilya't kaibigan mo na mahal ka ng buong buo at hindi ka iiwan.

Sana'y di ka na malumbay. Huwag kang mag-alala, sa maniwala ka man o sa hindi, alam ko ang tadhana mo. Mayroon na akong nakitang lalaking para sayo. Tamang oras na lang ang hinihintay ko. Pagkatiwalaan mo sanang muli ako at ang pana ko.

Nagmamahal,
Kupido J Buckets

Literary: Laro Tayo




Sa isang larong tinatawag na “pag-ibig”
Ang unang mahulog ay ang taya.
Hahabol ng hahabol hanggang sa makuha,
Ang matamis na “oo” na pinapangarap.

“Pagbilang ko ng tatlo nakatago na kayo.”
“Isa!” Sana hindi mahirap habulin.
“Dalawa!” Sana hindi mahirap suyuin.
“Tatlo!” Sana ay maging akin.

Ang larong ito ay depende sa’yo,
Kung may pag-asa ba o talo na agad ako.
Hindi maganda ang laro kung madali ito,
Ngunit ito’y masaya kaya ‘wag ka sanang susuko.

Kaya heto pa rin ako,
Patuloy na hinahabol at hinahanap ka.
At noong akala ko’y wala ka na,
Sa aking likuran ay may biglang tumaya.

Literary: Opposite Directions



I had a rough childhood
Grew up in negativity
Never believed I would be happy
That is, until I met you

I had a rough childhood
Grew up in a chaotic household
Stopped believing in love
Ever since my parents broke up

When I first met you
I really didn’t know what to do
We both shared the same ideal
It was just too good to be real

When I first saw you
I felt a foreign feeling
And like an invader in my territory
I prevented it from taking over me

I love the way you make me feel
I’m actually happy, so surreal
Like life’s worth a shot
Like anything is possible and whatnot

Like going underwater
I saw new horizons and felt differently
But I was frightened
Of drowning and suffocating

I’ll help you breathe
Don’t be scared of what’s underneath
I’ll help you get through this
I won’t let you fall into the abyss

Upon seeing broken souls and unmended hearts
I was frightened yet curious
Then I wondered what would happen
If I gave it a try

Unfortunately love is a mystery
One that is so hard to unravel
Like a present given to you
Unknown yet exciting to open

Just another uncertainty
Don’t know what this will end up to be
Yet I will take the chance even though risky
For us to be together, you and me

The day that I woke up
Feeling that I lost something
Was also the day I told myself
Perhaps it was worth a try

Literary: From the Start



Ever since I was a child
Love was felt in so many ways
Yet I didn’t know back then
That I get it everyday

It was my mother’s cooking
And my father’s forehead kisses
It was the food my friends gave
The hugs and birthday wishes

Then it turned to late night texts
With flowers in bouquets
It was being on a date
Love changed, they always say

Because growing up
I have learned that
Love is shared between two people,
With the person I never get tired of looking at

Then they came, those fateful days
To me now it’s all a haze
When I first told you how I felt
Until the day, holding a ring before you, I knelt

Every day, it was your loving goodbyes
And each moment I look into your eyes
It was the angelic laughter
Of our children which brings our family together

Then it was our grandchildren playing in the background
Keeping me company since you’re no longer around
While I absentmindedly fiddle
With the rings we swore with

I remember the love the world gave me
In every little detail, I see
How lucky am I that I could give back
What I so generously received even from the start

Literary: To the One




To the one I unexpectedly fell for,

You once said that I should find another fish in this ocean, vast and deep. But I still fell in love with you. Is sorry enough to take away my unexpected love for you?

To the one who makes me tongue-tied,

Every night, I always pray that destiny will find some way to open my heart. For until this day, I still can't reveal my unspoken love.

To the one who can’t reciprocate my love,

I still wish that the gods give me a chance to let you know that I'm here. Because even if my love is unrequited, I will give it still.

To the one I love unconditionally,

I don’t regret loving you but why does it seem like you regret meeting me? Though you cannot return it, I cannot help loving you unconditionally.

To the one I can’t forget,

I promise to try to forget you and let you go. Please forgive me for loving you as I forgive you for not loving me back.

Literary (Submission): The Story of Us



Let us start with you and me,
A tale of how two I’s became a we

Walking down the corridors heading to a meeting,
I had to be quick for time was fleeting,
This was not a time to tarry or be indolent,
But alas, I walked into someone, what torment!

Walking down the corridors without looking,
I didn’t even bother; I was reading,
A situation that would probably lead to an accident,
And yes, of course, I walked into someone, how excellent

It was you, my lady fair and true,
‘Twas an accident I will never rue,
For when I picked up your book and looked into your eyes,
My heart skipped a beat, you took me by surprise

It was you in that accident I never want to undo,
Out of my chest, my heart just flew,
For when you picked up my book, sparks melted the ice,
And I was falling again, I realized

You, like a statue of Greek antiquity,
Entranced me with your mesmerizing beauty,
This world painted in monochrome grisaille,
With you, became an impressionist nonpareil

The sound of your voice an enchanting melody,
Our souls and our hearts in perfect harmony,
Day by day, my feelings rose in crescendo,
Until I couldn’t keep track of my pulse’s tempo

From that point on, we’ve made so many memories,
In such a short time, we’ve created centuries

I remember our first date, officially planned,
I asked you what you wanted, your wish, my command,
You answered eating ice cream on a sidewalk would be best,
My tolerance for childishness, you did test

I remember when we roamed without aim,
“We are lost!” You did exclaim,
But it wasn’t that bad, I suppose,
For it did serve to make us more close

I remember a night beneath a starry sky,
When chilling was nature’s gusty sigh,
Each other’s warmth though kept the cold at bay,
We were together, there was nothing to say

I remember when you took my hand,
The surroundings were plain, but with you they seemed grand,
With the wind as our music, and the moon as our light,
We danced until the end of the night

I remember when you asked for help,
With schoolwork worthy of a yelp,
When you finally understood it all,
The look upon your face enthralled

I remember when I could not solve equations,
Because the world was full of evil distractions,
I turned to you and you taught me what you knew,
And to days when I’m confused I bid adieu

It feels like a dream, our being together,
Let me never awake from this sweet slumber,
You woke up my heart from its listless repose,
Thawed my whole being, from my head to my toes

Kampihan

Marami nang pinagdaanan ang ating pagkakaibigan.
Ngunit noon pa man kakampi mo na ako.
Kahit ikaw ang may kasalanan
Kahit hindi na tama ang ginagawa mo
Basta sabihin mo lang sa akin ang totoo,
Kahit wala nang ibang naniniwala sa’yo,
Kakampi mo pa rin ako
Dahil magkaibigan tayo.

Habulan

Marami kang hinahanap, maraming pinapangarap.
Ang mga nais mong abutin, tunay na mahirap kamtin.
“Gustong gusto ko siya. Tulungan mo akong ipaalam sa kanya.”
Para hindi ka mangulit ng paulit-ulit,
Kahit sa tingin kong ang paghahabol mo’y di sulit,
Tinulungan pa rin kita
Dahil ika’y sa akin mahalaga.

Agawan

May kakaibang sigla sa’yong mukha.
Naupo ka sa aking tabi, halatang hindi ka mapakali.
“Gusto niya rin ako! Ako ang tinitibok ng kanyang puso!”
Kahit pakiramdam kong ako’y naagawan,
Mawawalan ng isang matalik na kaibigan,
Kailangan kong matuwa para sa’yo
Dahil dapat kaligayahan ko rin ang kaligayahan mo.

Taguan

Madalas pa rin tayong nagkikita pero palagi na siyang kasama
Sapagkat nagseselos siya sa kung anong meron tayo.
Nakangiti mong sinabi, “Walang kaso. Naiintindihan ko.”
Kahit tumatagos ang sakit
Kahit tila di na ako makahinga sa galit
Makikitawa’t makikisama
Pilit itatago ang pagkadismaya
Dahil mali yatang maramdaman ito,
Magkaibigan lang kasi tayo.

Hanapan

Hindi ko akalaing maraming magbabago sa buhay na nakasanayan ko.
Kahit siya ang nasa aking tabi,
Ikaw pa rin ang mas gusto kong kakampi.
Kahit iyong sinasabi, “Narito lang naman ako palagi,”
Ang iyong pangungulit, pagtataray, pag-aalaga’t paglalambing,
Madalas ko pa ring hanap-hanapin.
Dapat ko na yatang tanggapin na higit pa sa kaibigan kung ika’y ituring.

Talunan

Marami akong pagkakataong pinalampas,
Ilang taon rin ang aking pinalipas.
Nang sigurado na ako sa nararamdaman ko
Nilakasan ko ang loob ko, nagdasal sa lahat ng santo
Bago ko buong pusong inamin sa’yo na
Ikaw ay iniibig ko. Kaso ang sagot mo,
“Palagay ko mas mabuti kung magkaibigan na lang tayo.”

Invisibility
She looked at him and his eyes were away
What was he thinking? How could she ever say
He doesn’t know what she was truly feeling
For this girl was an invisible being.

Mind Reading
He tried not to look for too long
But this time was different, her eyes sang a song
They were just looking at each other as if chanting a curse
And then he knew, his heart was beating the same rhythm as hers.

Unstoppable
From then on they lived each day like a fairy tale
Together they faced everything like a blowing gale
Nothing could tear them apart from each other
They were great flames no one could ever smother.

Deception
But as time passed, he asked himself, “Is she really the answer?”
His endless doubt caused him to step back and his mind to wander
And then another girl stood beside him
Pretty, funny and smart, she became his secret dream.

Reincarnation
He killed the first one in a most grotesque manner
He didn’t know he made her suffer
She did not realize, she was buried alone, breathing
But in no time, again she was up and walking.

Invincibility
She felt undaunted and invulnerable
She was a machine no one could disable
Immune to any pain, she learned from her past
The past that shattered and ruined her trust.

Invisibility
He pleaded and begged and asked for forgiveness
Yet she never relented, it caused him sadness
He was now alone, agonized and left with nothing
Just because he felt unsure about the girl who gave him everything.

Lima. Limang taong pagsasama
Mga panahong punong-puno ng ligaya
Pag-iibigan natin ay puno ng kulay
Na siyang kumukumpleto sa aking buhay

Lima, limang taong pagmamahalan
Na tila pang habang panahon ang saya,
Ikaw na siyang tinadhana ang kumumpleto
Sa kulay ng aking buhay

Apat. Apat na araw na nagkaalitan
Alitang naging sanhi ng hiwalayan
Hindi ko mawari ang naging dahilan.
Ano ang aking nagawa?
Heto ako nanghihingi ng kasagutan.

Apat, apat na araw ang nasayang
At tila sa iba napunta ang puso mo sinta
Waring nagbago ang lahat at naglaho sa isang iglap.
Anong nangyari sa atin?
Katanungang hindi ko masasagot din

Tatlo. Tatlong buwan ang lumipas
Hindi pa rin makapaniwalang pagsasama'y nag wakas
Tatlong salitang nais sa iyong iparating,
Mga katagang 'Mahal. Pa rin. Kita."

Tatlo, tatlong buwan na ang nagdaan,
Hindi pa rin naghilom ang pusong winasak.
Ito lamang ang kayang sabihin,
"Ayoko na, patawad,"

Dalawa. Ikalawang pagkakataon ang aking hinihiling,
Umaasang ako'y mahal mo parin.
Maging isang mas mabuting tao,y aking sisikapin.
O aking mahal sana ako'y dinggin.

Dalawa, ikalawang pagkakataon ba'y karapat-dapat?
Ako ba'y aasang mahalin ulit o saktan muli?
Dahil tiwala ko'y iyo nang nasira,
O pagibig dapat ba siyang dinggin?

Isa.
Isang pag-ibig na nagturo sa akin
Kung papaano pahalagahan ang taong mamahalin.
Isang pagkakataon
Na magdudulot ng habambuhay na kasiyahan

Literary (Submission): Juliet's Soliloquy



Do you remember, Romeo?
How it used to feel as if the world revolved around her
How her eyes felt like summer in the middle of winter
How her smile alone made everything better

Remember, Romeo?
When she was the song that kept playing in your head
Her graceful soul in your arms you held
But in the end she left you hanging by a thread

Remember, Romeo?
How much it hurt when she walked out
Like shattered glass the parting words left her mouth
How she was your religion and you were her devout

Remember, Romeo?
How difficult it is to forget that one last kiss
The feel of her hand upon yours
And how stupid it is for you to miss
How pathetic every breath feels without her
And how much you dreamt of your happily ever after

But remember, Romeo
There are millions of Juliets out there
The ones who can make the pain you feel right now disappear
The ones who can promise you a love that can’t compare

Remember, Romeo
How much it hurts me to think of what you once were
Because the words that I’ve always wanted you to say to me
Were the ones that you kept repeating to her

Remember, Romeo
That I’m the one who was there from the start
The one who always tried to protect your fragile heart
Even if I’m the one who ends up falling apart

Remember, Romeo
That I’m the one who was there from the start
The one who always tried to protect your fragile heart
Even if I’m the one who ends up falling apart

Remember, Romeo
How I was there to fix your broken pieces
And that I’ve always stood by you
So maybe you’ll open your eyes and finally see
That I could be your Juliet, too.

Tayo
Noong una tayong nagkita
Hindi maitago ang kasiyahan
Isang araw biglang nagkasalubong
At tayo’y nagkakilala

Ikaw
Ikaw ay aking inibig
Ikaw anglaging kasama
Ikaw ang gusting kausap
Ikaw lang ang laman ng puso

Ako
Sana’y ako rin ang iyong ibigin
Sana ako lagi ang nasa isip mo
Sana ako ay nasa iyong tabi
Sana bukas ay maging tayo

Pinagtapat ang nadarama
Mahal mo rin pala ako
Buhay ko’y sumaya
Buhay ko ay nagkakulay

Isang araw ika’y nakita
Ibang lalaki ang kasama
Ikaw ay nilapitan
At tayo’y nag-usap

Kayo
“Sino siya?” tanong ko
“Siya ang matagal ng tinitibok ng puso ko," sagot mo
Pinaasa mo lang pala ako
Bakit mo nagawa sa akin ‘to

Bakit ako’y pinaasa?
Bakit mo ako iniwan?
Bakit moa ko sinaktan?
Maibabalik pa kaya ang nakaraan?

Tayo
Noong una tayo’y nagkita
Napangiti mo agad ako
Nagpakilala ka sa akin
Nagpakilala ako sa’yo

Ikaw
Di nagtagal naging kaibigan kita
Ikaw lang ang kausap mula gabi hanggang umaga
Kapag may piangadadaanan ikaw ay nandyan
Ikaw ang kaibigang lagging sinasandalan

Masaya ako sa ating pagkakaibigan
Lahat ay maari kong gawin kaoag ikaw ang kasama
Dahil alam kong ito’y walang malisya
Akala ko kaibigan lang kaso hindi pala

Ako
Nagtapat ka ng iyong damdamin
Hindi ko naman ito hiniling
Ayokong saktan ang aking kaibigan
Kaya’t sinabi ko na ika’y mahal rin

Nakita mo akong kasama siya
Ang lalaking gusto ko talaga
Lumapit ka at ako’y hinila
Bakas sa mukha mo ang pagkalito

“Sino siya?” tanong mo
“Siya ang matagal nang tinitibok ng puso ko.”
Sinubukan kong turuan ang puso ko na mahalin ka
Pero hindi mo matuturuan ang pusong may mahal ng iba

Imagination,
A place we have wanted to be a part of since birth
So far and different from reality here on Earth

Merida
A princess who craved for new adventures
Who spent her time shooting arrows into the sunset.
Just like when she lost her mother
You won’t know the value of a thing until it goes missing.

Woody
When your name is written on his sole
He will come back, not give up on you, and stick to his role
Of being there when you need to face the world whole.
You will always have a friend like him to soothe your weary soul.

Mr. Fredricksen
Wanted to fulfill his and his wife’s lifelong dream
He made his house fly without help from any team
Adventure is indeed out there but he soon realized that what he did was uncalled for
For their dream was to be together anywhere forever

Jasmine
The maiden who wanted freedom
And a chance to see a whole new world beyond the luxurious palace
She insisted to create her own destiny,
To choose her own husband and show that she is not a mere prize to be won.

Remy
A rodent who had a passion for creating things
Who showed us that anyone can cook,
Where you come from or what you are doesn’t matter
For your only limit is your soul

Lewis
An abandoned orphan who did not know his real family so he built a time machine
Went to a future he did not even imagine
He learned that: “You just had to let go of the past and keep moving forward”
He opened up new doors and let his curiosity lead him to different paths

Thus, you are never too old for a childhood movie
For imagination knows no age,
Laughter is timeless and,
Dreams are limitless.

Literary: Elements of Moving On




Earth
Even diamonds and gold
Stand dull next to you.
There is no wonder
You cannot overshadow.
Nothing in this land
Flares brighter than your glimmer.

Air
You brought me up
To the heavens above.
Among the stars,
A smile within your grasp.
Softly, you held onto it,
Reached out for me to wear it.

Fire
Heaven and earth swore witnesses
To this burning love I offered,
This flaming love that burned me
Down to a pile of ashes
When in a blaze you left,
Taking all the light in me away.

Water
Lands crumble, fires grow
Yet, to dwell on these is no good.
Emotions, like tears, may flow
And will definitely wash them off.
They may come and go
But just like a stream,
My life will go on.

Literary: Revolution's Waltz



Revolutions
When the sunlight falls on his face,
His orbit tells me of four stories
With each turn he makes,
He anchors me with his gravity.

Solstice
Sometimes he would
Shed his fears away
Tell me of his doubts and worries—
About how when he falls,
He falls hard
And when at times he feels fear,
He'll let the wind take him
Wherever it may,
Wherever it thinks he should be.

Aphelion
And then he sat on the same bench
As he pressed himself against the cold
Under the dazzling flakes he recalled
When he dwelled in the darkness of time
Which turned out to be
Winter, the time he felt he lived.

Perihilion
And when he finally deals
With his shame and his fears,
I see him talking of the universe
And of the galaxies.
With such hope in his eyes,
He talks of a world in full bloom,
A bloom such as he—
When he smiles and tells
Of these budding stories.

Equinox
There at the shore he rests
With his heart blazing so calmly
Ready to set forth on his journey
To this place called home
Where he will finally be free.

Seasons
In the end, he tells me:
"Seasons start, seasons end.
Seasons change, seasons fade.
Though time may bend and fold
Something deep would and should remain.
It's that everlasting love in you,
That'll lift you through the sun and rain."

Literary: Band


"To join, to unite"

Lead
Alone, I play the melody
Making riffs without company
With no reverb, no distortion
No arpeggio to my passion

Rhythm
And then comes my harmony
Strumming my heartstrings steadily
Her every chord keeps me in time
With this loud, musical rhyme

Bass
I hear a deep thumping
A beat that sends my blood rushing
Pluck, tap, slap, pop
My booming heartbeat just won't stop

Drums
Loud clashing and clanging
All this crashing and rolling
Dampens your accompaniment
And makes me wonder where it all went

Vocals
We keep playing, but somehow it all goes silent
You come up to the mic with a sly little smile
You turn to me, eyes glistening with sincerity
And with these three words: “I love you”
You have turned my silly tune into a heartfelt song

Literary: Out of this Misery



Trapped
I was caught
Because I ran too slow
I tried to escape
To break free from this cage
But there is too much weight
And I’m nothing but frail

Numb
I was deadened
As if I am sedated
Left by my emotions
Moving without coordination
You could cut me deep
But I still won't feel the blood seep

Lost
I was helpless
This abyss I was falling into was endless
Now that I have stopped fighting
There is this idea, suddenly striking
A sudden spark
In the dark
But it was fleeting
For suddenly there was none
Cause I have already gone

Nagmahal
Nararapat ba ako sa’yo?
Nararapat din ba ang aking nararamdaman?
Ngunit kahit naguguluhan, aasa at aasa pa rin sa "tayo".
Basta itong aking nararamdaman ay aking ipaglalaban.

Nagmamahal
Ako ay nangangamba dahil sa pag-ibig,
Pag-ibig na sa dulo alam kong ako'y masasaktan.
Sapagkat ang puso mo'y pinapatibok ng iba
Ngunit, nais ko pa ring ipaglaban itong aking nararamdaman.

Pinaasa
Bakit mo ako iniwan? Bakit ba ako umasa?!
Ipinaramdam mong minahal mo ako,
Ngunit iiwan mo lang ako, isa kang paasa!
Pinalitan mo na lang ako nang bigla-biglaan,
Pero paano na ang iyong mga pangako?!

Nagpaasa
Nagparamdam sa'yo ng isang huwad na pag-ibig.
Gumuho ang iyong munting daigdig,
Kahit na ang aking tunay damdamin ay hindi mo napapansin.
Noong ikaw ay iniwan, 
Ang aking puso ay nasaktan rin naman.


Bitter
Malaking bakas ng sakit ang iniwan,
Sa taong akala ko'y bubuo sa aking pangarap
Ngunit iniwan niya lamang sa pusong kanyang ginamit at sinugatan.
Isang aral para sa akin, na tumigil at huwag nang muli pang umasa

Sweet
Ikaw ay iniwang luhaan, ang iyong puso’y sugatan.
Ako sana ay iyong bigyan ng pagkakataon para ipakita ang tunay na nararamdaman.
Hinding hindi, kahit minsan, ikaw ay aking iiwanan.
Narito ako, handang maghintay, magpakailanman.


Masakit at mahirap kalimutan,
Di man tuluyang nakakabangon,
Unti-unting aking susubukan,
Upang muling umibig at umahon.

Nanggaling ka sa masalimuot na nakaraan.
Malambot mong puso ay nasaktan,
Dahil sa isang pag-ibig na nagwakas nang biglaan.
Ikaw ay takot na muling umibig nang magpakailanman.

Ang umibig kung minsa’y sadyang kay pait
Kapag iniwan ang pusong pira-piraso.
Tila isa rin itong tsokolateng dating kaypait na nagiging katamis kung pinuno ng pagmamahal
Kung ang pagsinta ay handang maghintay at magtiis

Summer

I was the sky, and the clouds filled my head
Too blue was I, I bled with dread
Yet the sun arrived, he walked with light
My very soul lit up with him burning bright

I swore that we may face whatever weather
For no storm or tide is stronger than us together
The days grew longer and the nights passed by
We shone together, as the sun loved the sky

Fall

Suddenly, like the dry leaves on an autumn day
I was eager to fall, to finally stay
I lie on the ground, near the tree
Only to see him pass right by me

I watched as the branches turned into veins
She falls and nothing remains
Knowing it was her, it came to me
I turned into a fool she never wants to see

Winter

Snow, I must’ve been
Seeing me would have made you grin
But now towards you, numb is what I feel
Since I had too much of what now is real

You were filled with every color of the sky
Seeing you pale makes me ask why
Well, now, as you can see
It seems the cold bothered me

Spring

We are not as we once were
It was too much, such a stir, such a blur
The wind was too strong for us petals in the breeze
Yet we’ve been guided back for a chance to appease

I found myself drifting ruefully alone
I see flowers, amazing how they’ve bloomed and grown
Too stupid to say this before everything changed
But nevertheless, the sun loves the sky and that remains unchanged

Naaalala ko pa noong tayo'y mga bata pa
Ang ating unang pagkikita at unang pagsasama
Mga panahon na tayo'y naglalaro at nagkukulitan
Lahat ng ito ay tumatak sa aking isipan

Naalala ko pa noong tayo'y unang nagkita
Ako'y kinakabahan tuwing ika'y bumibisita,
Ngunit noong tayo'y naglalaro at nagsasaya,
Ito ang panahong nanatili sa aking alaala

Ngayon
Lumipas ang mga panahon na tayo'y magkasama
'Di nagtagal ikaw ay akin na ring nagustuhan
Ngunit ano itong aking nararamdaman?
Kung ako'y magtatapat, baka ako'y masaktan lamang

Di ko sa’yo masabi yung tuwa na nadarama ko
Tuwing tayo'y nag-uusap tungkol sa kahit ano sa mundo
Basta't tayo'y magkasama ang importante lang sa’kin
Ngunit alam ko kailangan ko din sabihin ang totoo kong damdamin.

Bukas
Sa isip ko,wala akong pag-asa sa babaeng tulad mo,
Ngunit ewan ko kung ano yung naramdaman ko,
Dahil noong gabing iyon lumapit na lang ako sa’yo
At tinanong tungkol sa pag-ibig kong 'to

Hindi nagtagal sumagot ako ng matamis kong oo
Ikaw at ako ay hanggang sa dulo
Sumumpa sa harap ng maraming tao
Sadyang aking pagmamahal sa’yo ay totoo
