From you, a life began, tender and true,
You gave shelter, nurtured dreams, together we grew.
A fantasy blossomed, in light it danced aglow,
But time whispered softly, it's time to let go.

Together, we vowed to weather every storm,
Promised to hold the trophy, our hearts sworn.
I promise to return, your name held high,
Ensuring your sacrifices under this sky will never die.

In lunar cycles passed, not mere days or weeks,
A month has waned since last we spoke,
But alas, no signal in this barren air,
No message from you, no solace fair,
I shared my longing, my heart laid bare,
Yet silence echoes, in this void, a snare.

I bared my soul, a beacon bright,
Yet your shadow eludes my searching sight,
When will dawn break on our souls again?
When your tears flow for another, not mine?

When will you reach out, in your hour of need,
Asking after me, yet craving my heed?
When will this silence relent, and speak,
To soothe this heart, grown tired and weak?

Yet, a flicker of hope in your silent reply,
A message, a memory, though brief and shy,
I cling to these fragments, amidst the dark,
Though weary, I still carry this spark.

But fatigue creeps in, as shadows grow long,
Gaslit by my own yearning song,
I falter, I fade, as the days persist,
Longing for your touch, I softly insist.

In the stillness of night, I lay to rest my pain,
But my phone stirs, your sobs pierce the silence again;
We meet in whispers, rare as the stars align,
Yet it's your heartbreak that summons me each time.

At 2 am, I linger, bearing witness to your tears,
Unseen, I mourn beside you, drowning in silent fears.
A shadow in your world, unnoticed, set apart,
I've shielded your heart, yet still, it breaks, torn apart.

Longing for the day when you'll see me as more than a crutch,
Yearning for recognition, not just a fleeting touch.

In the year that's passed, I forged my flight,
A plan to flee the storms in sight,
But now, as classes face me square,
Regret consumes, a heavy air.

I feel the weight of choices made,
A cage of darkness, self-enslaved,
I thought escape would set me free,
Yet deeper still, my grave I see.

Within this darkness, I suffocate,
Fear grips me, I cannot abate,
In desperation, I plead for aid,
Lost in shadows that I've made.

Tagpong masaya mula sa distansiya;
Pait at Ingit sumakop sa pusong nag iisa;
Bulaklak, tsokolate, halik at yakap nais madama;
Dasal dito, hanap dyaan kailan ko ba makikita?

Iwaksi at puksain antayin ang para sakin!
Pagtala ng sisi'y di kayang tanggapin;
Pagbura sa kasaysaya'y di kakayanin;
Tamang pagsibol ay antayin.

In my heart, a calm stream did seem,
Where happiness flowed, ever so free.
After all, you removed the thorn in me,
So please, now, do not bother me.

In the passing of a year, since that unexpected day,
Yet you persist, a constant in my mental sway.
I've tried to banish, to cast you away,
But like a shadow, you linger, unwilling to stray.

Was my initial denial merely a guise?
Claiming indifference, yet beneath, desire lies?
I vowed I'd never feel this way, I swore,
Yet here I am, wishing for something more.

Our glances meet, fleetingly, in the crowd,
But awkwardness veils what could be avowed.
Do you, like me, hide behind this charade?
Your smile hints at secrets, though unsaid.

A whispered confession, heard from afar,
You claim loneliness, yet here we are,
Amidst friends, yet worlds apart,
Do you hope I'll unravel the secrets of your heart?

Why this silence, this unspoken plea?
Why not reach out, why not to me?
The questions linger, unanswered, unmet,
Leaving me to ponder, to fret.

I find myself drawn, to watch, to spy,
From my window perch, hoping to espy,
But perhaps it's time, to let go, to cease,
To bid farewell to this illusory peace.

Paulit ulit man,
Ngunit ito lang ang nais kong iyong malaman,
Ako di'y napapagod ika'y abangan.

Kasalanan ko bang ako'y naiinip,
Dalawang decada nang lumipas, ngunit dika padin nahahagip
Ikay nga bay darating pa?
O ako lang tong umaasa.

Puso'y pagod na pagod na
Pati isip koy suko na
Anantayin pa bang pati katawan ko't kaluluwa'y magsawa na.

Tinawag ko na lahat ng makapang yarihang bathala,
Pinahanap sa beteranong mga manghuhula,
Ngunit parepareho ang mga nakikita,
Na ikay darating pa!

Ngunit kailan?
Di ba maaring ngayon na?
Di ba pwedeng pagtagpuin na?
Para di isiping baka ika'y pumanaw na.

Sabihin mo lang at ako na ang pupunta.
