her head wilted into the crook of his shoulder- waiting to be taken apart
for diagnostics.
the circuitry was buzzing quietly. only the blue lights
and one orange switch
were left blinking.
outside the window, things were trembling billions of years away.
outside the window- the vacuum drank slowly
from what was left inside.

they had arrived at destination.whatever that means.
she didn't look up.
he couldn't.
Paano kung ang salitang kanyang binibitawan
Ay isang kathang isip lamang?
Isang pamahiin na iyo namang pinaniniwalaan?
Paano nga?
Paano kung ang salitang binibitawan niya
Katulad na lamang ng

"Mahal kita"

"Mahal kita"

"Mahal kita"

Ay hindi naman talaga para sa iyo
Kung hindi para sa iba?
At habang tumatagal ang salitang

"Mahal kita"

"Mahal kita"

"Mahal kita"

Ay isang Kathang isip lamang at naging

"Mahal ko siya"
The truth is
I miss the way we used to be
I miss our late night talks
How we talk about the stars I love
The spoken words I used to listen to
The songs that we liked to sing along
Because we knew that every phrases
Are much more than just a phrase.

When the time we see the moonlight
We bid each other good night
And as the sunlight peaks
We start the day with each other's
"Good Mornings"
Coffee and Paranoia don't suit well
But cigarettes and short talks do.
Little things do count
Just like when the raindrops
started to fall on the window pane
Which gives you serenity and the ability to
Keep your mind at peace

The way her fingers brush through his hair
Is like playing the harp
Harmoniously playing every strand
The way she laughs
Will always be the highlight of the day.
Short talks and long embraces
Are something worth remembering
Because for him
A single minute with her feels like
A long year run, even if his day is already dim.
You've kept me going
You're the ray of light
Who appeared on my darkest hour
You showed me what love feels like
Which brought me back into your arms

You're a symphony,
A combination of different instruments
Carefully, gracefully, passionately played altogether
A music to my ears
A beautiful arrangement.

A metaphor of everything.
When did my home feel like home?
I never felt that
When did I feel the empathy in you?
Because you never understood what I  was thinking
And you never plan to.

If this is home, why can't I see the serenity in it?
If you were really there, why can't Ii be the person I want to be?
To pretend will be the lowest thing I'll ever do
But you have me no choice,
You were the one who pulled me into this madness.

I wasn't asking for materials
Or expensive things
All I ask is for your kindness and respect in return.
