I always get subtle memories,
Whenever I remember my last love.

It was like a freshly brewed coffee,
For someone who prefers milk.
It was the strongest kind,
One that certainly kept me wide awake.

It was like winter
On a tropical island.
Cold yet always kept me warm;
Seasonal but definitely not temporary.

I always get subtle memories,
Enough to keep me at bay.

Ayoko na
Tama na
Antok na
Tulog na

We were just two strangers,
Who once took a leap over November.
It was bittersweet and sometimes I wonder;
.......

Ni isang beses ay hindi pa 'ko
Nakakakain ng paru-paro
Ngunit tila bakit ang sikmura ko'y puno?
Saka ko naalala na noon
Nang una kong masabi ang pangalan mo
Nakalunok ako kaya siguro.

Scattered all throughout
A piece that I secretly hide
The puzzles on the floor
And it's you that I adore.

Shattered all over
A piece that I can't deny
The puzzles on the floor
And I swear to love you more.

Figures
I can't blame you if you can't learn to trust
Love figures
I said sorry once, and I know it's not enough
You can have a lineup of girls and a lineup of guys begging for you just to give them a try
Figures
Please stay
And be sick for my love

If you wish you could hurt me back
Love, I'd rather die if I couldn't get you back
I'm the one whose gonna lose
Something so special, something so real
That's how the **** I would feel
If I couldn't get you back
Then you got your wish that you could do to me
Yeah, figures.

"You never loved her."
These words are marked on you;
Like a deep wound in your heart,
Like a sad song in your head.

I loved you, and I'll always do.
All the hours that we spent,
And everytime that our hearts skipped
A beat for every sweet nothings.

I loved you, that's why I came back.
I loved you like the moon loves the sun;
I was outshined by your light,
Yet all I wanted was to meet you in the middle.

I loved you,
Because you were my world.
And it really breaks my heart
Because you still think that I only used you.

I loved you;
I returned so I can mend your broken heart
I wanted to be the one to wipe away your tears
I offered you my heart, my soul, and a life we can share together.

But you never loved me.
You only loved how I patiently loved you.
You only loved the idea that I'll still run to you despite our darkest days.
You only loved your old memory of me and discarded the truth that nothing has changed.

You never loved me, but I did.

I feel so lost,
Anticipating the worst.
How can I keep going
When I don't know which way to go?

Am deeply drowned in my own thoughts.
Slowly running out of air to breathe.
Father, stretch my hands.
I ain't no Han, I won't make it solo.

Stars;
So much can be seen by the naked eye.
We tend to look highly of them,
But they're pretty much like us.

They're born
Live,
And they die.

Some stars lose their light,
Some explode.
Even though they seem so ahead,
Like us, they are still mortal.

The way we look at stars,
It's like they can guide us moving on.
In reality, we're lost in the past;
Long gone, moved on.

The truth is that I really don't enjoy long travels
That specific smell makes me sick
And all I want to do while on the road is
To sleep.

But everytime I close my eyes
It is you that comes to mind;
The thought of having the chance to hold your hand for a while
To be able to feel your warmth.

As time goes by
I learned to appreciate
The journey
Of coming home to you.

You are here.
This is,
My favorite place.

While enjoying a good bottle of beer,
A close friend of mine told us:
You should all practice
"The Art Of Not Giving A ****."

I had an immediate idea of what it is about
But I wanted to have a deeper look on it.
As I scroll the book,
There was this one particular line that got me;

"This is why not giving a **** is so key.
This is why it’s going to save the world.
And it’s going to save it by accepting that the world is totally fvcked and that’s all right,
because it’s always been that way, and always will be."

People must take note of this:
Bad things happen and we reach rock bottom,
that's okay!
Stop hating yourself for being so bad and focus on continuosly watering yourself for you to grow.

To the one who's been blessed,
All but a table for two.
These four words,
Happy Birthday To You!

It's unbearable, indeed, to be a human.
All these uncertainties, not knowing what to do or what will happen next.
I am trying to walk outside just to find a world that's still beautiful.
I'll try to avoid the impulse to grieve what's still wild and alive.

It's been a while since then;
May you grow as you go.
