Along the last words we better left unsaid
Were the ones unheard but needed the most
'Cause when our pride felt righteous at times
Mistakes are what we ended up doing certainly

You took it hard, straight to your heart's repose
The only son you knew were nowhere home
And along your last words better left unsaid
It was his cold and distant back that faced you

Yet, Laura for what's her worth did soon realize
How quickly time fades with a passing glance
She did what's right but to no avail was it all
Until the final days warily caught up to her soul

Since then, my every passing days were bleak
I took it hard, against the solitude of my ego
The words I said were just there for a second
When the days passed, I wished to go back

I wish I can go back and tell you I'm sorry
Although I thought it was right to go away
My dear Laura was here but nowhere near
Time was cruel for mom and I'll suffer for it

Took you a long time to reach the shore
When the seas seem fine and collected
Lest the sins and sadness you abhor
Haunt you through the old days relentless

Heavy is the heart that carries the world
And weary is the world that hates itself
You saw the shores and loathed yourself
Since you tried and swam but sinked again

While up above, the banquet of stars shone
Right over your head as to mock you terribly
Then in the aftermath of it all, the sea set off
Before you began to learn how to drift along

But when the seas seem fine and collected
You found yourself embracing for the worst
Because in the midst of the pain and enmity
Nonchalant strength foreign to you, stayed

Forget all the sins and sadness you abhor
For the waves that crushed you day and night
Washed your weary heart that sinked unfailingly
Fooling it may be, but pain did build you whole

Looking back to the days of grasping for air
Often lets you forget that you took to the shore
Not even realizing, it's not time that took pity
You swam and persisted to the days relentless

Lucky was the moment you thought of living
The harbors in the shores were such a sight
There's still a lot of seas yet to be conquered
But lucky is it, you can still persist relentless

Destitute ice where the soul should be
Replaced before the heart could ever speak
In each, melancholy bloomed infinitely
Words to paint the hymn of your eyes

Fruits of labor lie just across the steep
But when the last step to the fight oughts,
To deliver the expected, it would not
Maybe melancholy since then held you dear

Was thinking of newness frightened you?
With the endless possibility of disaster,
Aside from the chance of another great fall
Does newness finally caught up to you?

When fingers are pointed, you shrivelled
Maybe because of those destitute eyes
Confidently staring just across the steep
Pointing fingers at a reflection in the mirror

On the crossroad of our life
The easterlies blew southward
And in the ever so sudden shift of the world
You began to shine your true color

Shades of yellow suddenly cowered
To an ocean of blue, deep and calm
Never knowing what laid after my eyes,
I thought you were the most serene view

For the life of me I could not guess
Why it seemed like paradise to me
When what lied after my view is your reality
What lied after my view is a chasm

In an unbounded, groundless dark trench
There's a chasm that gets deeper as I stare
On a serene ocean I finally felt your peace
The same peace I wish for you to be

Had it occurred to me a lot sooner
I could have realized; life mirrors art
Together we could have began--
Shining our true colors to the world

Ngayong lumipas na ang temang nakasanayan
Silip banayad sa kahapong dagliang dumaan
Pikit man ang mata, alaala naman ay pabulong
Hikahos sa hanging hindi naman tunay na yumao

Niyaring tinapos ang kasalukuyan sa halina't
Imahe ng kapayapaan sa kabilang daungan
Lingid sa ibabaw ng katinuan na ang bangka
Lumutang man ay di masasakyang tuluyan

Bigkas ay mga hikbi sa bawat pagsulong
Hanggat ang biyak ay hindi tuluyang magtagpo
Sa harap ng dahas at galit ng ilog sa pagitan
Paglubog ng liwanag ay syang di maiiwasan

Niyaring tinapos ang kasalukuyan sa halina,
Silip banayad sa kahapong dagliang dumaan
Sa harap ng dahas at galit ng ilog sa pagitan
Pagkalunod sa sariling luha'y syang di iiwasan

It felt lonelier in every other night
Between you and me, I was ashamed
To be the one who misses you now
After all the things I have said before

Remember the call that fateful night?
I swear from this heart to be over
Saying everything's wont be the same
Then bid you goodbye for certainty

Where were those words tonight?
To keep me company until tomorrow
Where were those words tonight?
To keep me from calling your name

Without me minding the days passing
Tears side by side they fall like rain
Between you and me, I am afraid
Being the one who cries tonight

There were regrets I rather forget
Like how I was here and not there--
Beside you where my heart should be
Where my heart should've stayed

I hate how it turned out to be this way
Keeping you happy at a distance
To a place you will never be hurt
After all the things I put you through

In a moment that seemed an eternity,
Silent drapes covering a forgotten coffin
Swayed sideways on folded creases
Neatly revealing a rather sunny eyes

It was when the times were different
Greener grass was the only bound to be
Blessed with the innocence of youth
And drunk with the familiarity of life

Then spirit would have caused changes
Life long treasured accomplishments
But stories like such can be manacing
Since just looking at it proves to be so

Whenever Father Time feels relevant
Same conservation whispers in me
Those trying times already passed
Though I can't find it internally resolved

So back to the dusty old shelf it goes
Taunting it maybe, I won't let myself
Reminisce those times I was sunny
The youth I missed was bitterly over
