I've always thought our love was like a big fire And maybe it was Yours being the flames that set our love ablaze I was too mesmerized by your embers that I didn't notice that we're already both burning Your embers kept getting smaller and smaller as water interfered And next thing I know, your fire's out Leaving everything a big charred mess It pains me to think that my love's the smoke that's still there even after you're gone But I'm fine, I will someday rise to the skies

"Alab" in Filipino means "blaze" or "ardour" *Took this from my original tweet thread
