but after all the love they gave,
I only want yours
the one that wrecked me
every time, every day

sa huling buwan ng taon,
nilingon kita, kahit wala ka
sa lugar ng ating tagpuan
sinilip ko ang natitirang emosyon
at pinalaya ito,
kasama ang mga alaala mo.

and when the heavens decided to finally call me, I’ll answer the phone with so much happiness and tell them how long I’ve waited for them

I've seen different shades of skies in your eyes
tasted every sweets in your lips but
I never thought I'll hear
the words that will
make me deaf
goodbye

Fall in universe
drown in asteroids
in a milky way of thoughts

this feels wrong
I thought I died  
but there are butterflies,
keeps me up all night
saving me from drowning
this feels good

I refuse to look at the moon
no matter how pretty it is
Your memories will flow
like a strong waves in me
and make me believe
that someday,
we’ll burn like the stars

I bled on the wrong person
and cut him a little too much
But losing him was bearable
it was better than staying

and if I let myself fall for the second time around, then I want the photographs in silhouettes, the holding hands while walking, the sudden I love you's and calls until 3 am and everything we did at the first time—

I am a dead poet. Words barely came into my mind; they were too shallow. But for you, I could compose a masterpiece with your name in it.

I remember you the most
at four o’clock, in dreams
the one that’s far from reality
I like it though

but you only love the moon
when it's full and bright
and leave it with the stars
when it's gloomy and half,
like what you did to me

choose
the love
that makes
you sleep
without
a heavy
heart

your love is greater than all the other love I met
yours was calm and peaceful
it was dangerous, I think I've seen this before
but it's all or nothing
and now I have everything— you

they say it was amazing
to fall in love with a writer,
for you’ll live forever,
with inks and papers
But I'm different from them,
I use my blood as an ink
and **** you in my pieces.

your tears became
the ink of your art
while your heart
hurts the most
at midnight.

I love how the words
played in my tongue
but I don’t mean it
every word I speak
like “I love you”

at muli nating sinambit ang mga salita
na matagal itinago sa likod ng mga mata
walang bilang tulad nang isa, dalawa
dahil ngayon ay malinaw na, ayoko na
ayoko na maging parte pa ulit ng buhay mo

drunk on thoughts and
you take a few turns,
whispering names
until you reached her
your home

a perfect time to let go
even without new haircuts
just look at the sky
how the fireworks light
it was a sign,
this is a closing chapter

the feeling of unfamiliar pain
coming from you were bearable
but still, I’m not used to it and
it kept me up for many nights
I—

you brought me to the sky
We admire the stars at night
and love the sunlight at morning
but your clouds are suffocating me
so I let myself fall

it was a hell of a ride
we've been thru ups and downs
and needed some break
but I think we lost it

After a long time,
I found the courage to write again
but it was the same as before
I am still hurting,
just in a different way

I never liked the mixture of
blue and orange at 3pm,
but if it’s with you,
I could give it a chance

feet on grounds,
the peace of the winds
how soil tickles my feet
I saw you and the trees
whispering me your name
but I decided to go back
at the sea, where you left me

most of us are scarred
by knives we carved in our wrists
but I am different
for I bleed
by the words
I’ve always begged to hear.

At some point, your promises still haunts me like they were made to be fulfilled and the tone of your voice, how you made it sound so convincing or maybe I was just the one who lingered to pain, to the point that I was getting flashbacks every time  I think of you in every little thing.
