Summer rain

She was wonderful tonight. I couldn’t take it. It all came pouring back the moment I saw her.

She walks in beauty, a perfect creature, sent by the Gods to mock me.

Somehow I’ve come to accept that part of the darling I love is the darling who’ll never have an eye or even time for me.

Harana 04

Ikaw ang tala sa dilim
Ang natatangi kong hiling
Kailan pa may hindi magmamaliw, giliw
Ang pagibig kong ito
na inaalay ko sa iyo
Ibubuhos ko ang buong puso ko
Sa isang munting haranang para sa 'yo

Sin Sonido

Lately I’ve noticed that my life hasn’t had music. As I’ve said before, music is life. So no music means no life. And there really isn’t any. There’s no drama in my life right now. Everything’s plain and dandy. Everything is pretty normal and dull.

No more music in my life. No more songs to fill my days. Just the silence of my self whining, or hoping, or wanting that something and someone special would come into my life.

Have I met her? Maybe. Do I know her? Maybe not. Do I even know what she’s like? I guess I do. If you see that someone, you’ll know she’s the one. Even if you’re not sure, something tells you that this is it.

Where is that someone? She could be the girl in the white pants sitting alone in the cafeteria. Or she could be the girl beside me in traffic, waiting for the light to turn green. Are you in the courts I play in or any of those other courts? Are you with your friends, having fun, wondering why you’re the only one single? You could be out there, having the time of your life, hanging out with all the boys and girls in the world. Or you could be like me, secluded, autistic, a hopeless romantic, tired of waiting. Whoever you are, it’s about time you came into my life. I hope we find each other soon. There are so many things we have to do. There are so many things we have to accomplish together. So please, let’s find each other soon.

Marami na

Marami nang nag bago
Marami na ring nawala
Kung maibabalik ko lang ang kahapon
Marami sanang 'di ginawa

Marami na 'kong natutunan
Marami nang pinagsisihan
Marami nang nagbago
Sa akin at sa 'yo

Patawarin mo sana ako
Sarado na ang 'yong puso
Hindi rin naman kita masisisi
Sa aking mga pagkakamali

Libo-libong mga ngiti
Naglahong unti-unti

Saan na nga ba nagpunta ang kahapon?

Another day

Then I got used to not seeing her smile anymore. I've gotten used to going through the day without seeing her or thinking about her. The pictures have been kept away. Winter has thawed; spring is looming. I know she's still with me, but that breeze was just a breeze and the birds that wake me up every morning sing because they want to. The days keep on; as I must.

North Star

She was the only bright spot in my gray and miserable day.

Neck Deep in the Game

Consistently, we want what we do not have and seek what is impossible to achieve. Is this foolishness or is it practical? Perhaps it's the only respectable and human thing to do.
