I'll listen
To your never ending questions about life.

I'll not mind
If every conversation ends with the same thought.

I'll be there
When you need me and even if you don't.

I'll say*
You're beautiful even if you don't believe it.

And when people say that you're a lot of bad things,
Then you need someone to remind you of your goodness
And how much you deserve to be loved,
     *I will.

When a person is loved
That doesn't define him
But I wish my love defines you
Or at least tell you this
You don't always have to change for the person you love.

Let my love for you remind you
That you're beautiful
You're strong
And you'll be loved
Because you're you.

Let this great love
Reflect who you really are
Bring out the best in you
Give what you deserve
**Let my love define you.

I didn't have to be with you,
It was enough for me to love you.

It was enough to hear you laugh
Whenever someone cracks a joke
It was enough to hear you talk
Even if it's not solely to me
It was enough to see you smile
Whenever we meet at the hallway
It was enough to see your eyes shine again
Filled with love and passion for new dreams and adventures
Just like then.

*It was enough for me to love you,
But sometimes,
Sometimes I wish you'd love me too.

I'm incomplete
Like the way
A puzzle is
When it has lost
Even just one piece.

I'm incomplete
Like the way
A mistaken letter
Changes the crossword
Altogether.

I don't think
I'd ever be complete
Even with just one
Missing in my life:
*You.

When I met you, you became my universe faster than the cosmos expanded.But then, you were the universe and I'm just one of the seemingly dots you have. I might just be a planet with no life, questioning why I became a part of you but exist this way...asking, hoping that I may be even just the world to you.

Huminga ulit ako nang malalim
Pinipigilan kong pumatak ang aking mga luha
Binasa ko ang mga tulang sinulat ko noon
Binasa ko ang mga tulang nag-iwan ng bakas sa akin.

Wala na, pumatak na ang unang luha
Di ko na maalalang sinulatan kita
At na sa bawat salita ay naiisip ka
Nalimot ko na ang masasaya.

Pumatak ang pangalawa
At tuloy tuloy na ang pagbagsak ng tubig mula sa aking mata
Hindi dahil sa puro sakit at lungkot ang naiwan sa akin
Kundi dahil hindi ko maalalang minahal kita.

At habang binabasa ko ang mga linyang tumutugma
Nagugulo ang isip ko sa mga salitang naisulat pala
Masakit na wala na akong mabalikan
Wala akong alaala at hindi na mauulit ang nakaraan.

Mahirap ang makalimot
Ngunit alam kong mahirap pa ang malimutan
Mahirap ang...
Bakit ko ba sinusulat ito?

All good things come to an end
The sakura blooms and leaves in a week
That's why there's a rare chance to see it's beauty
Just like there was just one chance for you and me
So sometimes I take comfort that our love was too good then
But I wish not all good things should come to an end.

You say I love you as easy as saying the sky is blue,
But you say I love you not as real as saying the sky is blue.

Have you seen my words?
Did you take them with you when you left?
Because yesterday I know
I still have the right words to say
But now, it's like I'm filling in the spaces.

Have you seen my words?
Did you take them with you when you left?
Did you hide them behind the moon?
Because you know every night I'll stare at it
And every night I'll wonder if you're behind the moon too.

Maybe you hid them among the stars
Every shining one carrying a word
Because you know that I'll get tired counting them all.

Or did you put it in the wolf's howl?
Thinking I'll notice the similarities of the rhythm
And I'll stay awake and think of you instead.

Did you hide them underneath the tree
In the same place where we buried our pain and tears
So that for another time I'll let go of the pain I'm enduring?

Tell me if they're hidden in the treasure chest I never opened
Do you want me to unlock it
And face the secrets I've feared?

Did you mess up the words in my favorite book
So that I'll stop reading it, imagining
And reach my dreams instead?

The words, are they inside the vase
Where I display fresh flowers
So I won't notice them but see that there's something more beautiful?

Please do tell
I hope you haven't lost them
I hope you kept them but please say
For when you left you took my heart with you
And if you took my words you took my soul too.

I have traveled far and
I have traveled with you
But I never knew
We are each other's home
Where I'll make it
Where I'm going is you.

I have seen lonely places
But where do broken hearts go?
Do they look for home?
But where do broken hearts go
If home is where they just came from?

So where do broken hearts go?
Do they find somewhere new out there?
Or are they too broke to even care?

Where do broken hearts go?
Do they wait to meet another broken heart
So together they could make a start?

Oh where do broken hearts go?
I wish I do know
Where I'm going.

This season
I cannot give
Fancy gifts
And shiny things.

This season
I know
I cannot love you
Like you love me.

But it doesn't mean
I don't love you
With all I have
For this season
I give you my heart.

I stayed out late tonight
The stars are out
And the moon is bright.

A shooting star came by
I closed my eyes
And let out a sigh.

There's  a chance to see you
Tomorrow, give me tomorrow
Do you want to see me too?

I wish this wish tonight
My days would again be bright
If tomorrow you'll be in my sight.

Loving you
Is like
Walking on
A bridge
With every
Piece of wood
Falling
After my
Every step;
There is no
Turning back.

If I didn't love you
I wouldn't be crying myself to sleep
And wake up just to cry.

If I didn't love you
I wouldn't be this numb
Because I've been hurt too much.

But I know,

If I didn't love you
I wouldn't even know
What love itself was.

If I didn't love you
*I wouldn't know
The world is beatific.

Love is to infinity,
It never ends,
It transcends time.

Love is to infinity,
It once went on and on,
It was forever.

All else had failed,
All else had brought me
To tears,
Then you came
And every direction
Every decision
Has pointed me to you
Every person
Has brought me here
Every second
Every minute
Every hour
Has come to this,
Forever.

The stars are out tonight,
I wonder if we wish on the same star,
I wish on the brightest star in sight,
And wonder if we wish the same this hour.

All the stars were what I wished for,
All the stars and you,
But they say to me you are not for,
I see the rain in your eyes fall too.

When all the words rhyme
And everything's the right sign,
I guess we'll have our time
When all the stars align.

Every man
Has his own Atlantis.

A paradise
Submerged forever.

You are
My Atlantis.

I know it's
Kind of impossible.

I'd still be searching
For answers.

Why and how
You disappeared.

And if I'll ever
Find you again.

**My dear Atlantis.

When you left you said
We would still wish on the same star
We would still hear each other's heart beats,
We would see each other when we see the moon,
*You said we would find each other again
And we would dance underneath the starry starry sky,
We would be forever
But we never did.
