I haven't been sleeping
for you've been haunting me
in every dream I dream

I haven't been eating
for my plate reminds me of the times
we talked about our favorites

I haven't been talking
to my friends, to my family, to everyone
for you were the only one I talked to

I haven't been myself
for I wasn't really myself
when I was talking to you

I was more than myself
and now that you're gone
I'm back to the nothing before you happened

You made me promise not to write about you
And promised you that, I did
Just because you promised me you'd never leave.

Little did you know, I promised that because
I only write poems about people who leave
And poems about broken promises.

I tried and did my best
To find the right words to say
Just to avoid hurting you in anyway
And succeeded avoiding that, I did.

I was so caught up in the idea
Of not hurting you
To the very point that
I ended up hurting myself.

I always find it so breathtaking
To witness the skies change
From dark, cold nights
To warm, sunny mornings.

The change reminds me of so much,
Most especially, it reminds me
Of the countless nights we shared
And of the very morning I lost you.

I slept fifteen hours today
And that means I dreamt of you for fifteen hours,
You haunted my dreams for fifteen hours,
You haunted me for fifteen hours.

Now I just woke up to a gloomy evening
Dark skies and the bells ringing
It has started again,
The thought of you is haunting me again.

Ngayong nagdaan na ang isang linggong malamig at maulan,
Nagpakita na ang araw, mainit at maliwanag.
Alam kong dapat masaya ako pero
Paano ako sasaya kung ikaw lang lagi ang naaalala ko?

Naiinis ako sa araw, pinapaalala niya ang mga nagdaang linggo,
Mga linggong magkausap tayo tungkol sa kahit ano.
Mga linggong nakakapagod pero napapawi mo.
Mga linggong wala akong maisagot sa papel ko
Pero bigla ka nalang papasok sa isip ko,
Kasama ng mga sagot na hinahanap ko.

Ngunit ngayon, naiisip ko, ano nga ba ang pinagkaiba?
Kahit noong tag-ulan, naaalala pa rin kita.
Naaalala ko kung paano kita sinasabihang mag-iingat ka
At kung paano kita pinaiyak dahil sa isang sala.
Naaalala ko rin kung paano mo ako iniwan
At kung paano kita hinayaan.

Kaya ngayong wala ka na, wala akong magawa
Kundi mainis sa lahat ng bagay na nagpapaalala
Hindi sa'yo, kundi sa aking mga nagawa
Para umalis ka at iwanan mo akong mag-isa.
