Velvet dusk
And the city opens its thousand eyes
Busy streets and tired minds
My heart longs for your touch

And I go home
With traces of you in me.
And I sleep well
With you in my memory.

For you, my love.

Thank you.

You gave me "always" when all I've known were "almosts" and "nevers".

You gave me "lifetime" when the world was changing and temporary.

Your sincerity broke down the walls that kept my heart locked in.

Your love has won the battle, triumphed over my little insecurities and self-doubt.

You, all that makes you, have won me over.

And will win me over, over and over again.

Today, tomorrow, and for a lifetime that is ahead of us.

Thank you for being brave enough to love me, when sometimes I couldn't even love myself.

Thank you for being you. You are the best choice, and will always be my choice.

I love you. Good night.

There are tales that I have told
And you have words you
haven't spoken--
There are lessons I haven't learned
And time we both have
wasted
If our conversations
were our connection,
Then your silence
is the dissolution.
If our conversations
were my confessions,
Then I guess your silence
is my rejection.

And that is how
a love I cultivate
Always ends.
And this is how
I heal my wounds--
Always in silence.

I am not your medicine.
I am not a miracle.
All I can do is hold your hand
every step of the way.
And be your hope
When you have none.
And be your candle,
When you are engulfed in your darkness.
I cannot cure that loneliness
Plaguing you everyday.
All I have is my presence,
and maybe I can ease your pain.
All I ask is you squeeze my hand
When I become terrified of your demons.
And I want you to understand,
That I also have mine to share.
And together, both of us
Can creep and survive
the jungles that we weaved
Straight from our minds.
And perhaps we will be victorious
Or perhaps it will take time.
But in this tunnel that you call life
I will be your flicker of light.

Just like the wind before it was named,
we were one.
Just like the skies--whether blue, black, or gray,
we were one.
Before time was night and day,
we were one.
And before water became seas, rivers, and lakes,
we were one.
But the colors became powers,
And these differences of ours,
Named the weak and the strong,
and the right and the wrong.
When freedom became property
And feelings became tragedy,
That's when love emerged a warrior,
And time a dictator.
Long were the days when life was like the wind
And the skies, and the day and the night.
And the seas and the rivers and lakes,
One before the reconstructions of time.
Long were the days of the free,
But those days were long gone.
And with every peek of the setting sun,
I remember the time,

When we were one.

Alaala ng alapaap
Ang naglahong mga pangarap
Sa dapithapon na umaga
ng kawalan ng pag-asa.

Alaala ng alapaap
Ang bawat pangungusap
Na sa dugo ay inukit
At buhay ang kapalit.

Alaala ng alapaap
Ang mga bugso ng damdamin
Ang mga pusong lumalaban
Para sa iisang adhikain.

Ngunit sa bandang huli
Sa paglipas ng panahong mahaba
Tanging ang alapaap
Ang tunay na umaalala.

I don’t know why
But I can’t sleep tonight
‘Cause you’re running in my soul
in my heart
in my mind
All the time

It’s on replay
The words you said tonight
The way the lights
caught into your eyes
And you smile
right at me

Take me to your arms
You’ll know how much I care
Take me to your heart
I’ll always be there
And take us to a place where you and I
without a shed of fear
be who we are

Come take my hand and hold me tight
Maybe there’s a reason why we’re here tonight
Staring at the sky full of lights
Come alive in the night
This is the moment
that I see
when I look into your eyes.
