I pray that my feelings
Shall soon pass
With the hand of clock
As it moves the time so fast.

For six years,
I dreamt.
I hoped.
I waited.

All I hear now
From the mouth of fate
"Let there be nothing,"
And truly, there's none.

Sa bawat paggalaw ng iyong kamay
Sa bawat paghampas ng kulay mula sa iyong kaluluwa
Tila nilalason ang isipan ko
Sinasabing kay ganda ng lahat ng mayroon sa’yo

Hindi maikukubli sa aking mga salita
Ang paghanga sa lahat ng kung sino ka
Nangingislap ito mula sa ilaw
Na nanggagaling mula sa pagkatao na pagmamay-ari mo

Umaalab ka ngunit hindi mo pansin
Mapapaso ang sinomang lalapit sa’yo
Ngunit pipilitin nilang mahagkan ka
Sapagkat ikaw ang katuparan ng pangarap nila

Pinutol mo ang sarili **** mga pakpak
Kaya naman hindi mo naaatim
Ang yaring tayog na iyong taglay
Kung makakalipad ka lamang sana

Likas sa’yo ang nais mo
Kumakatok ako’t nakikiusap
Gumising ka, marikit na binibini
At kamtan mo ang matagal nang nasa iyo

Eyes that are close to tears
Mind in sudden chaos
Heart feeling betrayed

Have I assumed by myself
That what we had was a blooming love?
Was my illusion remained a visualization
Of what I hope would lead to realization?

How could pain exist
As a product of laughter and glee?
And how did your once sweet words
To my ears become the sound of a tempest?

You call me a dude
You call her my love
To you, I remain a buddy
And she, a damsel so dear

I apologize for the unreturned messages
But you don’t have to be sorry
For not reciprocating
The sensation I feel for you

One day I was asked, “what is Happiness?”
Words could not make its way out of my lips,
Ideas could not be constructed inside my head,
There was pure silence apart from the heavy sighs I was emitting,
I was totally dumbfounded.

But being a disturbed thinker that I was,
I began to sail in the rivers of my mind
And flew across the freeways of my thoughts.
I searched for the answer desperately
And I wouldn’t stop until I meet him face to face.

I came across Money.
He said he could me give me anything and bring me to anywhere.
“That is what happiness is all about – having everything and being everywhere”,
he told me. And I nodded.
Money must be right; he must be my happiness!

“No!” Knowledge screamed in complete disgust,
“With me, you will find all the answers you wish to seek!”
I could be someone, she guaranteed
And I would see things that others could not see
I would be superior above all mankind and that must be what happiness is about!

Relationship then came like a devouring fire,
“How dare you listen to them!” he said with a sting.
“I have been with you from the moment you set your eyes upon the world
Families, friends, beloved – without me, you won’t know what joy is
I am your only happiness.”

To be fair, I made a company of them all,
But all failed to give me a satisfying answer.
Money blinded me about the importance of little things.
Knowledge consumed my heart and brought me so much pride it led to my downfall.
Relationship took all of me; didn’t leave anything for myself and run away.

Then He came knocking at my door,
As I was wretchedly crying my heart out.
He told me He knew the answer to my question,
I told Him, “No! I have searched for it
But there was no answer.”

“I am the answer”, He simply said.
“I won’t give you happiness,
But I will make you know and experience it.”
And He did by dying for me 2,000 years ago.

Seeing you smile is gulping water
In the middle of a long hike
Hearing you talk is peeing at last
After a 5-hour non-stop ride

Dreaming of you is eating tons
Without gaining a pound
Loving you is the happy feeling
Of escaping from an angry hound

Oh I want you like the genes that run
In the Beckham clan
Don’t you know how cool you are
That you should be banned?

But when I see you with the girl
Whose character I hate the most
I star in a movie
Being haunted by a ghost

My odd beauty
And this curvy body
Plus a pool of confidence
Is all I have

So I’m hoping
That it will be enough for you
To say, “I like you too!”
And to my wish will lead to “I love you too!”
