After all these years
They're finally here in this moment
How sweet their lives have been
Those smiles that convey a successful one

The road made them strong and humble
On the table they have gathered
To exchange exclamations as they unite again
Cheers to those who grew up and endured the pain

The faces of the worlds toughest
Those who survived the struggles
Heads help up high, stayed
Even when there's was no one to cling to

But they know those were temporary
It's all part of the journey
Feelings, Disappointments and so
All took different paths towards a goal

Some didn't make it
The ones that let difficulty pull them down
Now they just observe a world
That does not care about them

The word quit is not in their vocabulary
That's why they're here together
Let the light shine on them
For they know that there's no shortcut to this

Life goes on, good things happen if they keep on living
So cheers to everyone who made it
There's always a hand to hold on to
At the finish line

They're all waiting there,
You'll see the reality
To the summit of nonexistent
Were dreams are far away

On my own world
In a music that soothes my soul
I closed my eyes and let everything go
The waves embraced the sand in the beach
As i hear your heartbeat
While i stare right through you

I found myself in another world
The electric feel that spark the uninhabited universe
Where you and i always meet

We went up and touched the sky
Even though the music changed its tune
I lead the way and you followed
For there's a price at the end of the road

The sound of saxophone guides us through the night
As the symphony ignites the fire
We kept going till we reached the paradise

I hear the beat as it gets louder
The excitement grew as we get closer
And the rhythm of love goes faster

Our hands clasped so tight
Then we harmonize to the rhythm of the beat
As we slowly romance our way to conclusion

It was meant for both of us
To lay it down in this wonderland
Unlock the door for you always have the key
Then we will come back again to save room for my love
Reign Dec 2015
You're the only sound that i wanted to hear
When you say my name it's music to my ear
A work of art that will forever be a masterpiece
Only a sweet talk could remove this fear

I knew right then that i'll replace my priority
As for the figure standing in front of me took me to infinity
It brings me back from when i first played a tune
The hummingbirds in the summer of June

The smell of cigarette smoke that engulfs the place
While my thoughts flies through space
The moving of bottles, chairs and people
As the light shines for you on the center stage

Music appeared in human form
It was you who took over my soul
Embraced on the top of the world
Together, nothing else can go wrong

Don't ever fall in love with a musician
Music will always come first
You'll come second
But I've figured that the music is you

You're all of my favorite songs
The lullaby that i long for late at night
Serenade me till the end of time
I could care less if i die at any moment
For I've finally experienced the world that i knew
Reign Dec 2015
It was the same sky, the same atmosphere
The cacophony of sounds that distracts the outcasts
The strong aroma of coffee that goes around from day to day
Only a special someone would make me feel this way
It is how the universe brought us together

Days have become empty
You became a necessity
Trying to escape reality, to find a way out of this
I turned around
For the first time in my life,
I thought i knew what i was looking for

I was lost in you
It made me feel like we were the only ones left that needs to be fixed
In this world where everyone is looking for a sign
The unsolved problem, the solution
A change that would prove its existence
An unfamiliar feeling, a special one

It was a sight to see
I wondered if she's looking for the same thing
The satisfaction that readers look for
Does she know that things don't always work well?
That books are far from reality?

Again, i was lost
Lost in the sight of her being engaged in her own world
Whether it's in the story that she's reading
Or the life that she's living,
She's lost

It reminded me of someone
Someone very familiar
It dawned on me that the sight
Was a spitting image of me

The beauty, the smile at every turn of pages
It is the eyes of wonder, the curiosity of what happens next
The excitement, the hope of what's about to come
She was carefree

It turns out that in the end,
It wasn't what we always expected
It was we who's gonna make the last smile
Knowing the outcome ever since the first page

She put the book down with dissatisfaction
I walk up to her
Then asked 'how was it resolved?'
She closed her eyes like she expected the question
On that moment, my life was on pause

Do we really need to know the outcome?
Would it do us any good?
All that matters is the journey
The pain, the joy, the expectation, and the disappointment
The feeling of flying, the feeling of falling

I wasn't part of her story
Definitely not her favorite
I'm just a book in her shelf, unread, untouched
She didn't get to know my story, my poison, my ups and downs
Even in her solitary moment
But i was kept, like a book on her shelf

I'm an uninteresting story
But i know, someday, someone is going to pick me up
Some reader who does not care about the outcome, but the journey
Some person that know things don't always work out

She opened her eyes, hugged the book and gaze far into the distance
She said, "It's always like that. You just feel empty. It makes you wish you opened another book. The ending always ruins it. But it doesn't disregard the whole story"

She left with no other word and never looked back.
I'm left here in the same place as i was
Waiting for someone to get me out of this shelf
To introduce me to the world
To entertain or to be kept

Life is a movie
And mine has been on pause for a long time
We’re not the actor, but the director of our own
We have the final decision on which road to take

It’s like a cold weather without a jacket on
A lonely night without somebody to lean on
Sitting up here waiting in the bus stop
The day when happiness took a detour

These places, memories, and people
They’re all fillers
Every week is a new story
But they won’t matter in the future

Don’t even bother to try hard
Just go with the flow
Until you find something special
Treasure it and never forget

There are times when days are hollow
Like we’re just existing, not living.
But each day we can always learn something from it
God will never fail to give us good things at the right time
Things will get better, we just need a little patience

She always loves without expecting anything back
It was as if that’s all she know
Love, it’s what she became of
Like she was born to be there for other people

Her world is occupied with hope
There was never any room for hatred
“Focus on the good things” she said
She was always positive for the sake of others

All she wanted was to be happy
She would reach out to other people to be a light to their darkness
Do whatever she wants and ignores the ‘maybe’
Never afraid and always fight for what is right

But there‘s only so much she can contain
People who helps needs saving too
At the end of the day she cries it out till she’s asleep
So that when she wakes up, she forgets for awhile

When there’s no hope, that’s the time she’s hopeful
She never gets mad, but gets disappointed all the time
If she gets disappointed in you, she’ll argue that,
“You should be happy because I care about you”


Most girls would mind their own business
They would be selfish, immature, with no ambition
And fame is the only thing that they crave
But she’s too smart to be any of those kinds
She stands out and is outstanding at the same time

What she want is happiness
To everyone around her even if it’s not within
If happiness is a person she would embrace it so tight and never let go
Spend time with it like there’s no tomorrow even if it’s only for a day


She’s slowly dying inside as days go by
There’s nothing more painful, she said
“Being surrounded by people who don’t appreciate love"
She prays that someday, someone will come her way
And made her feel the love that she always craves

Wait expectantly.
She did.
So she waited. And waited.
It’s only a matter of time when changes will come and things would turn upside down
It’s only a matter of time till those people appreciate what she do
It’s only a matter of time till someone arrive and show her what love is all about
It’s only a matter of time.
Or so she thought.
