I might not see you again but
The least you could do
is throw me into
your sea of lies
sing me goodbyes
just one more day
I'll soon be on my way
to the mountains I can't climb
just give me some time
to forget everything I remember about you
from the sound of your voice
to the shape of your smile
from the day we met
to the day we left
miles apart but a memory away

The joy in traveling alone is found in the idea of
temporarily being a part of something you're not a part of.
It's the idea of being alone in a seemingly different world,
where you have nothing from your world
and you're forced to experience where you are.
You'd be amazed by the fact that things happen miles away from where you are
and you don't even see or know it;
the strangers you meet, spend time and maybe fall in love with to never see again—
Traveling makes you a part of it all at least for a while.

It's the general thrill that the world is just so big,
that filling the spaces apart even in the smallest form feels right.

‘Di na bale ang totoo sa hindi
Habang buhay
kapalit ng ilang saglit
Ikaw ang lahat ng kulay
Na puwedeng mabanggit
Mga mariposang nadadarang
Sa liwanag na parang
Ako sa’yo
Alam kung saan patungo,
Hindi alam kailan titigil.
Alam kung saan patungo

Hindi alam kung gustong tumigil.

Ang kadakilaan ng mga salita,
gaano man ang labis
ay may hanggan.
Kahit pa sa isang libong sanaysay
ipaliwanag sa'yo
kung ano ka para sa akin
na halos hangin
kung paano kita kailanganin;
Pira-pirasong basag ang saysay ng lahat ng talinhaga sa katotohanan na
walang anumang lipon ng mga salita
ang kaya kong pagsamahin
para magpabalik sa'yo.

You
are the personification of hard decisions,
fleeting time, fading memories and coincidences.
This
is the epitome of all good things
that don't last.

You know how there's always that "somewhere" we want to be
that makes us almost hate going back home?
and you know literally one place from that somewhere
and she isn't even a place
but you are anything but lost
in that kingdom of pillows
late night drives
tell me what you think.
You don't know what's after
but you're sure it didn't matter.
Where every hour is a day of missing you
in the real world.

lyrics:
If this was real for just a minute
Just sixty seconds that you mean it
Un-everlasting rainbows
I wish it always rained.
It's more than your face
or your words I can taste
Like strawberry-flavored sunsets
With your eyes
and your lips
and your lies
Oh, please don't ever end.

If all of us is but a dream,
sedate my mind from what is real.
We only are
when nothing else is.

A vessel that will not sink
It will shake, it will bump but will not break
It will sail, it may wail but it will not fail
This vessel has an anchor to keep it still,
When it's rough, when it's tough
or when it's had enough
Through the storms and the mourns
it will not be torn.
The anchor is the people that give it love
so through the winds and the waves it can float above
For the sea which it sails is unlike other seas
No shine, no calm; It does not know peace
And so the tides be unforgiving
And the times never ending
Still this body should never think
That it won't make it to shore.
Because we are vessels
that refuse to sink.
a rough night on 2017
