Rain,
but don't rain like this
I don't feel like remembering
or dreaming
so rain
only just enough
to wet the streets
but let people move on
we will make
One. Big. Umbrella.
big enough for all of us to say
rain,
any way you want

We don't pause for stars anymore
not that they're less amazing,
no, it's just knowing they'll be back.

But do you ever hold something so tight
because you know you'll miss them soon?
You learn that all you can do is be in that memory
before trying not to forget everything about it.
We learn the hard way that what makes a moment precious
is that it's always fleeting from our fingertips,
being chased by the next thing that's going to happen.
It is always only somebody's turn to smile,
before it is somebody else's.
One day Ted knew Victoria's soul—what makes her cry,
the drumroll before the kiss
and what she thinks about cats,
all before they become nothing but a part of each other's past;
two people who only shared the same good memory before.

Nakakapagtaka o nakapagtataka
Maaaraw na ulan at
Diwata sa bundok
Sa mga pintong siguradong sasara, bakit tayo kumakatok?
Bakit natin binubuklat
ang mga aklat na putol ang istorya?
May mga araw na ayaw dumating
at may mga saglit na pilit patagalin
Siguro nga'y may uri ng kasiyahan
na di mapapanatili ng anumang kapit
pero sapat nang maramdaman
oo kahit sandali
salamat parin na dumaan
Ang buhay nga naman
palaging tungkol sa mga taong dumadating
kung paiyakin ka nila sa sakit
o pasayahin ka nang walang kapalit

The grandeur in putting words that rhyme in a sentence has never felt so bland now that I know what you feel like.
The day I get to hold your hand will be the day I no longer fear death.
We will all learn one day that love is putting all the tears you’ve ever cried in a jar, or a bucket, or a **** swimming pool to make lemonade and say
“the world cannot hurt me anymore”.

People either win the lottery
or get struck by lightning,
I might as well spontaneously combust for finding you.
