Ysa Pa
Gising na nananaginip
Sari-sari ang naiisip
At biglaang napagtanto
Paano kung hindi nahulog sa iyo
Paano kung Inibig mo rin ako
Paano kung tumagal tayo
Maraming katanungan
Mas maraming maaaring kahantungan
Ngunit hindi na malalaman
Ang mga masasaya sanang kahahatnan
Dahil ang "Tayo" ay pinigilan **** maganap
Pag-irog ng iba ang iyong hinanap
Sa ating paghihiwalay, ako ang mas nasaktan
Ngunit Mahal, ikaw ang higit na nawalan
Maaaring ikaw ay lumigaya
Sa piling ng iba, sa piling niya
At ako ang umibig ng lubos at umasa
Pero darating ang araw Mahal na
Magmamahal na ako ng iba
Higit pa sa pagmamahal ko sayo ang ipadarama
Mapagtatanto mo na lang
Bigla ka na lang manghihinayang
Wala nang magmamahal sayo
Gaya ng pagmamahal ko

You can climb to the mountain peak
But it won't set you free
You'll find it's lonely at the top
And the air is hard to breathe

You can search the ocean deep
For pearls pure and true
But in your search, I think you'll find
The water's cold and cruel

You can travel lands of brightest suns
In search of warmth to find
Abandon shelter that you've known
Just leave it all behind

But the sun will surely betray you
The mirage of bliss, scorched and burned
Perfection a dream that can't be reached
Another hard lesson learned

When your quest is finally over
You'll realize the love i had was true
But I won't be here with open arms
'cause you've no more roads to choose
for those who have been someone's last resort one too many times

Of all the men in the world
Of all the fish in the sea
Why you with a heart so cold
Be the one I want to see
Been busy lately hahaha but here's a stanza ^-^

Pablo Neruda
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Be A Shining Light

Each morning just as you wake up
You have a choice to make
You can choose that you'll be happy
Or sad throughout your day

You can choose to see the good things
And not to see the bad
Look forward to your future
Let go of all the past

You can choose to think of others
Learn from your mistakes
Listen to different points of view
And give more then you take

If you choose each day to smile
You will make the world bright
Each morning just when you wake up
You become a shining light

Be A shining light

He* sees her today, anxious but with excitement
With a heart so ready, he waits for the right moment
He comes to her with a happy greeting
For it has been long since their last meeting
She seems him, and greets with a "Hi"
He was so happy, he literally could fly
He was so happy, but could not express
For his love was never confessed
A friend, she calls him. A close one at that
A best friend, a brother he was to her
He has been there for her, every moment before that
But with no knowledge of the love he offers
For years, he was trying for the right moment
But could not, because *another guy
loves her
In fairness, the other guy was better, intelligent and street smart
Though, it bothers him why she doesn't like the guy as much
Why does she treat the guy as such?
As he loves her so
He can't, because the other guy loves her
He knew the other guy loves her
So, he let him go first, and he confessed
So now they're together, leaving him in the ice
Just because he was too nice.
Sometimes, it's not nice being nice
