“Why is that your lucky number is four, when that’s unlucky to some”

“Four is the number to a word called love
And at the same time the number of letters in hate…
But I believe I’m lucky when I loved someone who hated me”

I bit my lip and muttered under my breath “I never hated you…but she did.”

“And so I’m getting married to that girl who once hated me.”

I wished you could’ve hated me, but I don’t know what I’ll do
When the person I love the most would feel the exact opposite
So now I’m unlucky to the number of the letters of love and hate.

“My favorite number is four now… thanks to you.”

“Why? Do you love someone who hates you?”

“It’s the opposite, I hate him, cause he won’t love me, even though I know his heart is captured already.”

“I want to hate you now but it’s too late…” and then I walked four steps away from him.

cause she was already there just four steps behind with the white gown of hers.

Minamahal kita
subalit hindi ko ito ikukumpara
sa mga tala, sa alon;
Hindi ko ito ikukumpara
sa mga bagay na karaniwang ginagamit sa tula
sa bango ng bagong pitas na rosas
sa apoy na walang tigil sa pagliyab
Minamahal kita
nang hindi ko ito ikukumpara sa mga iyon
o sa kahit ano.

Minamahal kita dahil sadyang mahal kita —
sa katwirang hindi maikukumpara ang aking nararamdaman
sa mga bagay na natatanaw, nahahawakan.
Minamahal kita dahil sadyang mahal kita
walang tulad-tulad
walang mga talang kumikinang at along humahaplos
walang rosas na kasing bango ng kawalan ng alinlangan
walang apoy kung saan ang usok ay kumakaway sa mga ulap
at hindi na matanaw.

Minamahal kita
at hindi ko ito ikukumpara sa kahit ano.  

Minamahal kita
Original poem written August 9, 2017
Her eyes were like stars
in a clouded sky
at midnight;

She felt like
she wasn't
bright enough;

But he was in love
with her moonlight.

I caught a bird
some time ago

and spent all our time
together

I taught it how to sing
I taught it how to fly

and then flew away
forever
Why is it so confusing?
Dating, I mean
Why is it you never speak your heart?
Why do you give me the small glimpse of hope?
Why do that and take it away?
I tell you, you're the one
I look at you, as if I have seen a goddess
I treat you as if you're a queen
We share a beautiful kiss
Yet im here
Dinner for two
With an empty seat in front of me
Not a word
Not an apology
Nothing.
MY HEART REVEALS WORDS--
NO ONE ELSE CAN HEAR,
-BUT MY SOUL CAN;
THROUGH FEARS AND FRIGHT'
CARRY THOUGHTS OF NO CLUES,
BUT EVIDENCE OF LOVE;
FEELINGS BURST  AS TEARS--
MY EYES WATERY WEEPING,
YEARS OF PALE,
LONGING FOR THAT SOUL;
THROUGH THE EYE OF THE FIRE
NEVER TREMBLE IN TIRE
STILL BELIEVES MY HEART......
I think I see
See the evil inside of me

It is no demon
Or wicked wishes

Its the absence of true love

That really brings out the worst in me
We knew each other like our souls were intertwined. Like we were born from the old age of romantics. Like past lovers continuing their love story at this age.
  All of our deep talks connected with our beliefs. Every lines we took, sparks cast beneath our silhouettes when we embrace twilight. And when our eyes met, it feels like the stars has got to it's places- the sense of belongness.
    The universe made a deal and wanted us to be together. Because, we were above meant to each other.
   But when everything was beautiful, you backfired. Telling me you can't go on. Telling me that we were meant to each other but not being together. You don't visualized the things happening around. You don't have our world. Because for you, it was all just talk of the things. Our love, it was unrequitted after all.

— The End —
