and to tell you how much i care?
you've said all these nice things

"pero may crush na ako sayo"
he says to me,
and i laugh at the irony
of the foreign words
from an unknown admirer
because i have spent hours
searching for ways
to catch your attention
and somehow along the way
i caught his instead
mahal kita
kaya di ko sinabi
pero natatakot akong
