I didn't mean to create memories to be left with pain
I've once again become strangers with someone so easily

Goodbye
As we part towards the rough path
After you leave me, I hope you
Only walk on the path with flowers

You are my only sun, one and only in the world
I bloomed for you, but I’m still getting thirsty
It’s too late, I can’t live without you
Though my branch runs dry, I reach for you with all my strength

Justin Tolentino Jun 2018

sincerity that couldn't be delivered

I wake up in a castle
In a blossoming garden
Feeling so lonely

I hung myself inside this mess filled with thorns

Tell me what do they call you?
Where are you running off to?
Oh could you tell me?

I found you kept away inside this garden

And I know your warmth is -
closest to reality
the flowers that you picked for me

Reaching for your hand,
But this is my fate

Don't smile on me
Light on me
No I can never take another step to you
Don't have a name to call me by anymore

You know that I can't
Show you me
Give you me
The weaknesses that I hide you can never see

I wear a mask again so I could see you
but I still want you

alone in this garden
want to give you a flower
reminding me of you

I'd give you all to take this foolish mask off

But I know that I can -
never give you more than that
Forever may not be for us

mask my true self now
'cause I'm so afraid

That in the end
you'll leave again
I know that it's pathetic, what was I to do

I wear a mask again so I could see you

My soul is not whole
I'm all alone
These walls won't hold
The castle made of sand is falling from within

I'm taking off this mask to go and meet you
and I still want you

this was one of my favorite songs off the album and I wanted to cover it in English when I get the chance so I found a good translation, tweaked it a bit and structured it into a song

Stay With Me

If I say it’s easy, it’ll be a lie
As much as we fought, we cared for each other even more
When you were by my side, I didn’t know
& When you aren’t here, I miss you so much more

Through countless mistakes
I realized it’s meaningless without you
Now & forever
It’s just you and me

I don’t never
wanna let u go no no
My body trembles when I see you
My time stops everytime my baby
Even after 100 years pass, promise me

Please love me
the same, the same, the same,
365 days, Everyday
Girl, I need your love
You alone are enough for me
-Because

Attention will fade away some day
The money I made will get spent anyway
People who looked for me will eventually go away
But baby you

I hope you stay with me
I hope you stay with me
Don’t change but forever please just
Stay with me

I became the person I am because of you
If it wasn’t for you I wouldn't be who I am today
I don’t even wanna think about it my baby
You make me great baby

Even if God doesn’t allow us to be together
I will love you till the end
I’d rather die than not have you
Everything becomes meaningless

I don’t never
wanna let u go no no
Even when the world turns and the sun rises
My time stops everytime my baby
Even after 100 years pass, promise me

Please love me
the same, the same, the same,
365 days, Everyday
Girl, I need your love
You alone are enough for me
-Because

Attention will fade away some day
The money I made will get spent anyway
People who looked for me will eventually go away
But baby you

I hope you stay with me
I hope you stay with me
Don’t change but forever please just
Stay with me

I like reading this over & over again so I put it on here

Can't Take My Eyes Off You (Cover Verse)

You're just to good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank god I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off of you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's no one else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just to good to be true
I can't take my eyes off of you

And I need you baby,
If it's quite alright, oh pretty baby
To warm the lonely nights, I love you baby
Trust in me when I say okay

And oh pretty baby
Don't let me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I found you stay
And let me love you
Baby let me love you oh baby

(My Verse)
Your, feet must be tired you've been joggin through my mind
You're like a star, that has fallen from the sky
You're Wonderwoman, but who has lost her powers
Man I'm workin at the sushi shop I get off in an hour so
If you don't mind, would you come & pick me up?
Give me lovin' & a hug 'cause I've been strugglin' and stuff
There's no other like you so I know that I'm lucky to find
A girl so fine and kind & so explosive hot like dynamite
We can wine & dine and do it again a couple of times
I thank god, everyday, girl you bring my life to life
Twenty years old, but with you a kiddish fool
Living in the windy city I never took you for a fool
Girl you're a blessing I guess you work miracles
The most beautiful girl I know, appointed by guinness rule
Beauty like yours, is just an urban myth
Usually a cool dude but with you im a nervous kid
You're dressed to **** so your clothes are murderous
We connected faster than my internet service did

(Chorus)~

I've loved this song since I was a little kid and the verse was just something I came up with in high school about this girl I had a crush on. I changed the Melting *** line to the sushi shop line since that's where I work at now ahaha. It's not that good bc I wrote it forever ago but I sang it at karaoke the other day and went through a nostalgia trip. I would have a friend beatbox for me at a pretty steady tempo and perform this at open mic events in highschool, if someone can supply me with a beat so I can do this on video it'd be greatly appreciated

I know that it's difficult and hard
To come back to me
I know that you're scared
Of getting hurt again
Even on the day I left you
I made you cry with my cruel words
I turned my back on you and I regret it, I'm sorry

Please just once
If I could see you one more time
I’m okay with losing everything I have
I wish I could meet you in my dreams
And fall in love again
Just like before

It might be easier to just die
Than to earn your forgiveness
I sing this song, but I don't know
If my true feelings will get through to you
"I want you to be happy"
I couldn't even tell that simple lie
I just pray that you'll come back, I'm sorry

Please just once
If I could see you one more time
I’m okay with losing everything I have
I wish I could meet you in my dreams
And fall in love again
Just like before

Now that it’s over, it's our last time
But I can't accept those thoughts
I can't let go ‘cause' you never know
Someone like you for me, someone like me for you
There won’t ever be a love the same again
Nobody knows
We always know

Please just once
If I could see you one more time
I’m okay with losing everything I have
I wish I could meet you in my dreams
And fall in love again
Just like before

Right now, this moment is passing
If you can forget everything
Our memories, the times we were happy
No, I'll meet you again in the next life
We'll love each other once again
Just as we did before

— The End —
