I did not get to know the sun;
Or the moon when the day is done.
I did not get to know the breeze;
I bet it makes people feel at ease.

How does it feel to be warm or cold?
Why do trees change colors when they get old?
But it is okay—I am at peace,
I understand your choice at least.

I tell you this because I know I can't stay;
I was too soon, the both of you cannot sway.
The motions of your young adult life;
Your dreams of a family, as husband and wife.

I just have one wish, Mommy, Daddy—
Please, don't forget about me.
Though my life was brief, let love remain;
Live my life, full of love, not pain.

You are the thorn on my side,
the little ***** inside the skin of my thumb.
You are that constant pain in my neck,
that won't disappear even if I crack it numb.

I hate you with every fiber of my being,
not a day goes by without my life left ruined.
You annoy the ******* **** out of me,
But I just can't seem to set myself free.

Hindi na ako makahinga,
pinipilit ang sariling bumangon.
Nasa ilalim ng mabigat na bunga,
ng aking mga pagkakamaling naglaon.

Natatakot, nangangamba,
sa pagsilang ng umaga.
Sa hudyat nitong kasama, laging dala,
ang siklo ko'y muli nang nagsimula.

Lalaban, lalarga, makikibaka,
sa alon ng buhay, mabagal, nalunod na.
Ngunit nang mata'y nagkasalubong, nagkita,
aksidente nga ba o matamis na tadhana.

Sa pagitan ng pawis at dugo at luha
ng mga tao na ngayon tayo ay nasa gitna.
Mayroon ako, ikaw, gustong ipahiwatig,
pero pareho tayo, boses, napatid.

Pagkakataon lumisan na,
ikaw ang nauna, ako'y nasakal ng pangamba.
Muling sinubukan, ipagtagpo ang mga mata,
hindi kita malilimutan.
