We met in the worst possible way,

Two hearts left broken, led astray.

You said, "You know what? Love isn’t real,

So let’s just start to play."

No longer was she the lover girl,

Who believed that love’s a twirl—

A dance, a whirlwind romance

No longer was he the gentleman,

Who buys you flowers, who takes your hand,

Someone who believes love’s something grand

Because they’ve both loved someone before,

Built a home, then closed the door,

Both left crying on the floor

So when they met,

They didn’t believe

That love was something they could give

So they just played—

There’s a spark, “It’ll just fade,” they said

Because they met each other in their worst state,

Not expecting love to find a way.
Maybe in another life, we met differently. We weren’t both broken hearts who played with each other, but instead, friends turned to lovers. Maybe~

I will die on this hill
Of never letting you know how I feel
Because that’s just too silly
I don’t know you really

You’re a figment of my imagination
A man of my own creation
A newly made hyper fixation
Maybe a fleeting fascination

Yet I think of you in the quietest nights
Building stories, chasing distant lights
But it’s safer to keep this all concealed,
Because how can you hurt, what’s never revealed?
To that perfect, perfect boy I made up in my mind with the face of a person I know

Ang nais ko lang naman ay iyong maging tahanan
Sa tuwing ika’y nasasaktan, nanlalamig, at nahihirapan
Kaya’t bakit ako’y ginawang panandaliang silungan?
Iniwan at kinalimutan nang natapos ang ulan
Kasabay ng paglabo ng ulan ay ang kasabay na paglaho mo rin

The greatest pain is felt
When the physical tears are gone
And they think that you are fine
‘Cause they don’t see the broken soul
That’s weeping deeply inside
I’ll be aight

misha
your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you
if only i could chase you with pizza but shots don't work like that

I was told long ago
That my light would attract others.
Maybe that's why I love moths so much.
Fluttering in and out of lives, maybe I am the light and a moth.

We both live
Two worlds apart

I live, not worrying about what tomorrow brings for right now, everything’s okay
He lives, lonely every day,
but holding on for a better someday

I live for what is here, close to me, something I can reach, someone I can touch
He lives for what will be, far away, something he will reach, someone he will touch

I live for the daily laughters, the ongoing memories, afraid of what is to come
He lives for that better day, somewhere far away, forgetting to live in what is now

We both live two worlds apart
That’s why we forget to meet
In the in-between
Of what is now, and what is to come
A rough draft of what is on my mind
