love isn’t a good morning text
or some other slanted
minuscule gesture
it is a presence looming
craving to capture you
enveloping you in your entirety
but look, here we are waiting
on a box of sweets
on a bouquet of tulips
or a wrapped gift
or a handwritten letter
perhaps if that’s what love has become
then i shall hope i find something better
there must be something more

she's smart, strong, and independent
she always fight for what she believes in
i know those lovely eyes are just for me
and i tell you undoubtedly,
even if she's giving me love and pain at the same time
i don't mind if she's the cause
of my death.

Hindi ka kulang
Hindi ka labis
Noon ang buhay ko'y nagkaroon ng patlang
Ikaw ay sapat lang sa patlang
at ikaw ang aking asam.
Ang pag ibig ay isang pagsusulit noon
at hindi ko malaman
ang mga sagot sa katanungan,
Napaghalo halo ko na
ang iba't ibang emosyon ng galit, takot,
saya at lungkot at hindi ko pa rin malaman.
Kaya't naghintay ako ng matagal
sa taong kaya akong tulungan, at dumating ka,
Hindi para magpakopya kung ano
ang dapat ilalagay sa papel,
kundi para maging kasagutan.
Dahil mahal,
Hindi mo na ako pwedeng malian
dahil matagal mo na akong tinamaan.

tonight, i'm a bit jumpy
don't know if its too risky
or too scary

but then i asked her
with all my heart
to be my only person

she stayed quite for a while
and a touched of those soft sweet lips
and i felt that our worlds collide—


and become one.
