Ady
Have you felt the caress of rain
like a cautious, caring lover soothing pain away.
Touched the night sky with your gaze
felt it reciprocate with no haste.
Have you ever loved what no other had dared
adored?
Out of fear of the beauty of the unknown.
Sighed along with the thunder of a storm,
being captured in the flash of lightening strike.
Have you felt and failed,
despaired and wailed,
thought and smiled;
Let the clamour of the rain wash away the fears,
the tears?
Take a moment, breathe, remember your sanity
is far more important.
Have you had a moment for yourself today?
I think people need a reminder to take care of themselves.
Breathe okay? Just take a little moment today.
And we stood there in silence.
She didn't cry
Nor did her voice shake.
She just looked at me straight in the eye
And said,
"I thought I was at least worth fighting for."
And when she spoke those words
In the calmest way possible
I swear I could almost hear her heart break.

he discovered himself in the
steam on the window
and the lace
of her lingerie.
"did you think you would find yourself here?"
she asked.
"no," he breathed, "but i'm glad i did."

Minahal kita
higit pa sa inaakala kong
kayang magmahal ang isang tao.

Kung tutuusin
walang limitasyon ang pagmamahal nguni't
hindi natin maikakaila na pinipigilan natin ang mga sarili natin
sa pagmamahal ng higit pa
sa limitasyon
na ating ginagawa.
Pero kapag nakilala nila ang taong mahal ko
ngayon ay magiging isang tila
bahay-bahayan nalamang ng mga bata
ang limitasyon
kung saan ang akala nila'y
simpleng luto,
alaga ng bata,
at paghahalik sa asawa lamang
ang pagbahay;
napakarami pa kaysa sa kanilang inaakala.

Minahal kita na higit pa
sa inaakala kong hawak kamay
at
titigan lamang sa mata
at
pagtatanong kung anong ginawa mo ngayong araw na ito
at
pagbabati paggising ng umaga
at pagpaalam bago matulog sa gabi.

Salamat,
dahil natuto akong
magmahal kaysa sa inaakala kong
dapat
**** mahalin ang isang tao.

I don't know what is worse:
Happy moments that can't be experienced again, or
The tragic memories we can't forget.

and if i longed for a sense of belonging
i would just lie down, facing the ceiling;
i am my home
here is where i belong.
This is the kind of self-love I/we need.

darling, you may not understand,
but it's more heartbreaking to leave
than to be left behind.
A quote from the prose that I made.
