Every "good job" I get from you,
gives me this immense validation,
one which I never thought I was looking for.
I never realized until now,
how nice it was,
to hear someone tell you
"good job"

Maybe because,
I could count
in one hand,
the times I heard someone
genuinely tell me
I did good.

I want to say thank you.

I didn't know validation
felt that good.

Kung titingnan tayo sa malayo
ay tila dalawang estranghero.
Magkalapit na nakatayo,
ngunit kalooban ay magkalayo.

Sa bawat buntong hiningang pinapakawalan,
ay ang patagong pagpahid ng luhang pinipilit wag masdan.
Sa bawat patak ng ulan sa iyong mykha,
ay ilang beses kong pagpigil ng sariling luha.

Gustohin ko mang ikaw ay pigilan,
wala akong magagawa kundi ikaw ay pakawalan.
Kung kagustohan ko lang din naman ang masusunod,
Maari ba?

Maari  bang sabihin,
mga salitang pilit pinipigil bigkasin?
Maari bang kahit ngayon lang,
ay mawala saglit ang pagkailang?

Maari ba?
Kahit ngayon lang?
Kahit saglit lang?
Maari bang ikaw?

— The End —
