Ano ba ang mayroon sa iyo?
At bakit ako nagkakaganito?
Sa tuwing ikaw ay may kailangan
Agad kitang pinagbibigyan.

Lahat na lang ng iyong ipakiusap
Aking ginawa ng buong sikap
Kahit na alam kong sa iyo'y wala lamang
Ginawa ko ito nang walang pagkukulang

Ngunit ngayon ay akin nang natutuhan
Hindi sa lahat ng panahon, ika'y aking pagbibigyan,
Nang sa aking sarili ay makapaglaan rin
Ng pag-ibig na hindi kayang maibalik sa akin.

how will you know
whether a want is a need?
or a need is not just a want?
or does it even matter?
does this even make sense?
I know the pain you feel is deep,
your want from life is simple peace.
And though I cannot guarantee,
please listen closely, as I speak.

Presently you stroll alone,
searching for a hand to hold.
You feel your sorrow in your bones,
in harshest sun, you still feel cold.

Pre - dawn, however, is darkest night
that must be followed by morning light.
I pray you won't give up the fight,
the universe will set things right.

I know at times, it seems unclear
that happiness is always near.
But wholly I believe my dear,
someday soon, you'll find some cheer.

some say it's surreal
yet I deem it possible
when I close my eyes

Never have I cared
Never have I dared
To love someone so deeply
Other than my family

Some said I'm too old
Yet some say I'm still young
But I don't want to rush
'Cause I know it's just a crush

But why do I get this feeling?
Like as if my heart's at the ceiling
To be calm, I can't possibly keep
Might as well, just go to sleep

under the bright stars
a soul patiently waiting
earnestly, truly
