I have been waiting
For someone to understand
My pain, my flaws
My weird and wild sides

I have been searching
For somebody to fill
The gaps, the empty spaces
The longings of my heart

I have been asking
For a friend in this lifetime
My company, my comrade
The one who will be like me

Like me, yes same as me
The light, an angel
And now we feel the same
Now and forever we are

Do not compare yourself with others...that is insecurity
Do not tell the opposite of what you feel...that is hypocrisy
Do not say you can if you really can't...that is conceit
Do not claim what is not yours...that is fraud
Do not tell stories which aren't true...that is gossip
Do not be someone who you can't be...that is pretension

Just be you
Be who you are

You also believe in me
as I believe in you
You also love me
like I do love you
We both have that promise
forever we'll be friends
no matter what

Now that you're not around
your words are still here
in my heart
in my mind
as my light
and my protection
like how your wings covered me
when you were still here

I won't change
Because I will only make a pledge
to a very special person
I have met once in my life
and there will be no other soul
that can equal your kindness,
your care and love

Yes, you are a real gem
My precious friend
forever.

Tinukso mo ako ng iyong maskara
Ang pinto **** bakal ay nagmukhang pilak
Mga bintana mo'y tila walang sara
Ang bawat sulok mo'y humahalimuyak

Akong naghahanap ng lugar sa mundo
Namalik-mata nga't naakit mo agad
Sa mga pangako'y nadala't natukso
Naghintay ng dulot, magagarang gawad

Sa aking pagyakap sa pintong makinang
Ngiti ko'y sumilay, nag-isip, nangarap
Akala ko'y lungkot dito'y mapupunan
Saya ang papalit sa dusa at hirap

Subalit nagulat sa aking pagmulat
Ang pinto **** pilak ay puro kalawang
Mga bintana mo'y  nabuway ng lahat
Ang bawat sulok mo'y amoy basurahan

Paano pa ako ngingiti, sasaya
Kung ang pangarap ko ay biglang naglaho?
Mabubuhay ka bang kuntento't payapa
Sa lugar na itong ngayo'y gumuguho?

Nais kong tumakas, lumayo, tumakbo
Sa bilangguan kong kakila-kilabot
Subalit kadena ko'y mayroong kandado
Kasama ba akong mababaon sa limot?

Hindi! Ang sigaw ng matapang kong puso
Kadena sa paa'y aking wawakasan
Mabubuhay ako na hindi bilanggo
Ipaglalaban ko, aking kalayaan!

My bittersweet love,
You are the only reason
Why I chose to live
And not to run from strife

I will bear every pain
I will cross every bridge
I will swim the vast ocean
Just to be with you

My bittersweet love,
I will chose to embrace the pain
of loving you just to live
than to face a smile with death
for you are my life
and only for you
this heart belongs

Ah, my bittersweet love
You will be forever
in my heart.

I woke up this morning
I felt like singing

With love and faith
No sorrow, no hate

No pressure, no tear
No stress, no fear

No Why or How
To Him I bow

I must confess
I am so blessed!

When it rains,  it pours*, I know
But now I have this drought again
Where are my words,  where is my muse?
I thought it will forever rain

I know I need an inspiration
I think I badly need you here
My muse,  please be with me again
And fix this block with your love,  my dear.

Yesterday there was no way to the other side
Water flows with harshness
I can't even dip my toes
For I will be carried away
To the deepest part
And it was too dangerous

Then later this morning
I saw the bridge
I don't know if it was true
So I tried to see
Made a step
Then another step
Until I saw myself in the middle

Yes, there is a bridge
Now I can pass
A way to the other side
A way that will lead me

to you.

I have this favorite cup, a simple one
I love this much that I simply can't
Leave it in one corner of my chest
Considered it the last, the best
But one day I just found it there
Broken in pieces, I've seen my tears
I tried to fix it, I really did
But I wasn't someone who could be that skilled
To make magic of fixing things
Somehow I realized what could it bring
If I would try a new design?
Perhaps I would know if I'll just try...

By your side, my God, I want to rest
There in Your arms I have my perfect peace
I offer You my life, my mind, my soul
Take all of these, my Lord, take them all.

My past, my Lord, is full of miseries
I want to forget it within Your mysteries
Take me, mold me, please hear me now and then
For I am just  human, I can't stand in pain.

By Your side, my God, I want to rest
There in Your arms I have my perfect peace
Send me Your spirit, cleanse me with Your fire
With You by my side, I'm not afraid to fly.

I do not just listen--
I analyze,
because the story might have
a real different ending


I do not just glance--
I observe,
for the view might be different
on the other side


It is not wrong to be careful
on what you should believe in

We parted our ways-
    I wanted to go with you
   but my chaotic mind pulled me
    to a different direction.

A hug is now a dream
A kiss is like a star
I see your thoughts like an ocean
I hear your voice like the wind

But I never give up on my dream
I won't stop reaching the star
I will take the risk of crossing the ocean
I will hear the wind through my heart

Can you wait for me there
in our favorite place-
      the far side of eternal?

Can you give me a chance
           to love you,
           to be with you forever?

There's a cup in here, my love
Filled with coffee, a secret brand
I poured my sugar, sweet enough
Then mixed with cream I have at hand

Here's the coffee now, my dear
Sip with love while it is hot
Feel the creamier blend like us
Hug and kiss are desserts you've got!

This is me-

When I commit myself to something,
I will do it by hook or by crook
When I commit myself to someone,
I will love him no matter what

So whatever happens,  whatever arrives
Be it a chance that could change my life,
I will never break this promise
I made before God and our hearts

This is me, and this is my commitment
I will always love you and it means forever.

My love, I have come to this point
That I don't care for what they say
But to be with you and be yours
Until forever and a day

My forever light, I am yours
My heart, my soul, my mind
I dreamed to grow old with you
It is our love, our strongest bind

I completely give myself to you
I swear, my love, this pledge is true.

You said there should be
No more lost-hope moments
While others choose not to trust
Could you still listen to me?
While others see the dark side of me
Could you still see my light?
I will still have this hope
That we are two different people-
   I am the flicker in this darkness
   You are swimming against the flow

Could you tell me I'm right?

I think of my favorite food  everyday
No,  I think I want to have it every moment
I am always hungry
I am craving too much of it
But I cannot always have it

I always want to see my favorite place
That beach,  its shore
I want to swim in its blue water
I want to play in its sand
I am wanting to be there always
But I can't be there whenever I want

I always want to hear my favorite song
But the radio doesn't always play it
I always wait for it to be played
On different radio stations
But it seems I am the only one requesting for it

You would say unlucky I am
But you're wrong
I am so lucky
For I have what I want when I really need it
Not when I just want it

I know I just need to adjust
How to control this craving.

She's so crazy, a crazy woman
Crazy in love with the chosen one
Her heart is missing, where is it?
There in his chest,  it perfectly fits!

(Do we really see?)

We kept an eye to something different
Ears were open while mind was close
A pole looked straight though it was bent
We kept an eye to something different

In these given days to pray and repent
While a medicine should be taken in dose
We kept an eye to something different
Ears were open while mind was close.

We are all children playing
On a very  dangerous ground
Hiding and then seeking
Running and going the round

We are all players praying
That in the end we'll win
The game of every dangerous being
Makes a perfect dangerous spin

Life isn't really  fair, is it?
Come and show me why
The place where you choose to sit
Always shows you a  dark sky

It's true that the world could be
A very dangerous ground to stay
But when a hero hears your plea
You can find the safest way...

I hear again the sound
of the sea
the water touching my toes

I feel once more
Those arms
that carry me while I am shouting
the same words-

        My love,
        no matter what...
        I love you forever!

We dance again
to the music of the rain
and play like children
like what we had been seeing
in our dreams before

I am yours
you are mine
We are destined to be one
forever

"Wait for me", she said to him
"I will wait for you, baby", he answered

And they keep on waiting
Trusting the love
Keeping faith on God
No distance
No time
Nothing
Nothing can stop them
Nothing can change their hearts

One day, all dreams will come true
She is for him
He is for her
God made them feel
What is destiny

Human, human, I know you are that smart
Decide what’s best, or when to fall apart
Like when to stop, or when to make a start
Why you’ve to stay, or why you’ve to depart

But since you are too curious of this world
Instead to stand you’ve stayed like firmly furled
You care not if your path now turns like curled
You trace them like a shadow that is whorled

Human, human, are you now feeling dry?
Are you bored of smiling, want to cry?
Do you feel now the need to sound like sly?
A disaster, you crave now, want to try?

Oh, here it is, the recipe you want-
A cup of fear will really help to daunt
A spoonful of insult or a fresh taunt
At night surely Achilles ‘ heel  will haunt

Do not forget to mix a pinch of hate
More wrong thoughts for a glass you need to  sate
Add jealousy and envy to your weight
Eat with greed on disaster’s perfect plate!

It might only be a quantity-
of length, width or height
There are people who are distant
Far apart, not in sight
But there are closer ones
So far away from the heart
And yet the ones away
Their hearts are never apart

Near but far,  two is two
Hearts that never unite
Far but near,  why they are one
Hearts embrace each night
The ones closer in touch
Are only closer in sight
The ones so far away
Are taking one same flight...

Don't make me feel you knew me well
Like you have searched my soul
I'll show you that I've seen your face
Though thick veil covers it whole

Don't tell me I am important
For I am used of being ignored
Your sweet words sound like nothing
But songs that just make me bored!

Bakit ang umaga'y salaming nagniningning
At ang aking gabi'y sineng walang tabing?
Bakit ang magdamag ay tila araw mandin
Na kung di masilip ay tila kulang pa rin?

Sa oras na laging kita'y maalala
Balintataw manding anyo mo'y makita;
Ngiti ng puso ko'y anghel ang kapara
Dala ng pagsuyong ikaw ang may likha.

Di man naglalayag ang anyo kong lugod
Naglalakbay naman sa aking pagtulog;
Diwa at puso ko'y nawalan ng takot
Laging ako't ikaw yaong nasasangkot.

Saang mundo kayang di ka mamamasdan?
Wala nga sapagkat tanging ikaw lamang;
Takbo ng panaho'y di namamalayan
Basta't laging ikaw itong kaulayaw.

Daigdig mang ito'y tuksong kumakaway
Kung tayong dalawa'y landas na makulay;
Musika ng puso ay aalingawngaw
Mundo'y paraisong doo'y laging ikaw!


English Version:

You Will Always Be There

Oh, why each morning is like a bright looking glass
And my night's like a theater without a curtain?
Tell me why an overnight seems like a new day
That when I can't see you, life seems so uncertain?

Each moment that I cannot see you, my dearest
Even your shadow is always enough for me
My heart always smile like that of an angel's beam
Brought by this precious love only I could see.

Though I couldn't reach you with these frail arms and hands
I can still touch you, my dear, in my cherished dreams
My mind and my heart, they were strong, I'm not afraid
Only you and I, we can get through the extremes.

In what kind of world does this heart couldn't see you
If there's only one image in these eyes of mine?
Our time is running fast and yet we cannot feel
When you're here beside me, I will always be fine.

If this world of ours is a waving temptation
It would still be a bright path when we truly care
Rhythm of our hearts will echo and resonate
A place is paradise where you'll always be there!

Do you know?
Your joy is hers, too
Your sadness will break her heart
Your fall is her fall
Your triumph makes her proud
You are just two different bodies
But one in spirit

Do you know?
She's all yours
Heart, body and soul

It's summertime, the drought is here
Water seems gold,  I have this fear
My mind is blocked, going nowhere
Do hearts affect? Nothing is clear

There are many ways to escape
I have tried them all-
I walked out of the door
I tried to run out of the gate
I passed through the fence
I dreamed
I fantasized

Why I am still here?

Everyday is a miracle, you must thank God for it
Every situation has a lesson, learn to cope and fit
Every chance is a blessing, be grateful and true
Every person is like a season that may come and go
