I never begged for anyone to stay—
not once, not in silence, not in stray
glances that lingered longer than pride
would ever let me justify.

But that night,
the stars felt too loud
and the world too hollow.

Every inch of me—
bone, breath, memory—
itched like a wound that knew
its healer was walking away.
Even the atoms trembled,
each particle aching
to betray my mouth
and scream
“Please…”

Pagod ang katawan, mabigat ang araw,
pero nariyan ka, kaya’t gumagaan ang galaw.
Hindi kailangan ng magarang tanawin,
balikat ko’t hikab mo’y sapat na aliwin.

Sa gitna ng usok, ingay, at pila,
may tahimik tayong mundo na tila
walang ibang tao kundi ikaw at ako—
dalawang pusong sabay humihinto.

Dahan-dahan kang sumasayaw sa tanaw,
kahit hindi kita kinakausap, alam **** ikaw
ang dahilan kung bakit di ko na alintana
ang layo, ang trapik, ang problema.

Sana'y huwag matapos ang ganitong tagpo,
kung saan ang simpleng pagtingin ay totoo.
Wala tayong yaman o oras na sobra,
pero habang magkasama tayo—sapat na.

I need you to listen, just like I do—
I held my tongue and sat through you.
When things came out, I stayed, stayed kind,
No blame, no rage, just open mind.

You spoke your truth, I gave you space,
I met your flaws with calm and grace.
I asked, you shared, I understood,
Did all the things I thought I should.

But now it's me with things to say,
And you just turn and walk away.
No room, no time, no ear to lend—
No space for me to just defend.

It feels so cold, it feels so wrong,
Like I’ve been fair for far too long.
Why is your voice the only one?
Why does mine get left undone?
