Di ko alam kung paano ko gagawin,
Ako'y di mapakali, aking inaamin,
Dahil ako'y kinakabahan,
Mga ginagawa ko'y di mo magustuhan.

Dahil ito lang aking makakaya,
Sa kasamaang palad ito lang talaga,
Itong aking mga kalatas at tula,
Ito lang at wala nang iba.

Damdamin ang naging panulat,
Inspirasyon ang syang nagtulak,
Musika ang sa aki'y umalalay,
Sa katahimikan ng umagang walang kapantay.

Di lahat ng tula ko ay iisa ang balak,
Yung iba'y para lamang ika'y humalakhak,
Ngunit di ko alam kung ako'y matagumpay,
Upang mapasaya ka ng tunay.

Kay rami nga ng aking naiisip,
Mga "sana", parang panaginip,
Inaasam, nais makamtan,
Kahit yung man lang, mapagtagumpayan.

Sana ikay napasaya ko,
sana napangiti ka kahit papano,
Sana naunawaan mo,
Mga sanang tulad nito.

Sana tanggapin mo,
Sana paniwalaan mo,
Sana pagpasensyahan mo,
Sana, sana, sana, hay nako.

Sana man lang naramdaman mo,
Ang damdaming ikinubli ko,
Sa mga salita ng aking tula,
Na sana, sa puso mo'y tumama.

Sana man lang ika'y aking naantig,
Sana man lang ika'y aking napakilig,
Sapagkat di kaya ng aking mga bibig,
Di kayang sabihin, minsa'y nanginginig.

"sana" na higit sa aking pang-unawa,
Tulad ng "sana makuha ko rin ang iyong paghanga",
Ngunit iyo'y parang isang malayong tala,
Hanggang tingin lang, mata ko lang ang nakakakita.

Di ko alam kung ito'y panunuyo na ba,
Liniligawan na ba kita?
Dahil di ko alam sa sarili ko ang totoo,
Ang alam ko lang, ikaw ang tanging gusto.

Ako'y natatawa,
Ang landi ba naman nitong binata,
binatang naghahangad na sana,
Sana sa tamang panahon, ika'y kanyang makasama.

Ang pinapangarap nyang dalaga.

Di ko alam kung paano ko gagawin,
Ako'y di mapakali, sa aking aaminin,
Dahil ako'y kinakabahan,
Mga ginagawa ko'y baka di mo magustuhan.

Dahil ito lang aking makakaya,
Sa kasamaang palad ito lang talaga,
Itong aking mga kalatas at tula,
Ito lang at wala nang iba.

Once upon a time
In a far away land
The dreamers get rewarded
Diverting from facing reality
I'm breakin free from the norm
I had the best time of my life
Wish the time could always freeze
If I lived
In a far away land
If I lived in a land far far away
Once upon a time
In a far away landI'm breakin free from the norm
I had the best time of my lifeIf I lived
In a far away land

On the first day I noticed nothing but your hair.
How it caught the sunlight and reflected it tenfold.
How it swayed around your neck.

On the second day I noticed nothing but your lips.
How they individually felt between my teeth.
How they left marks upon my neck and thighs.

On the third day I noticed nothing but your mouth.
How the words flowed out, powerful as an ocean.
How your teeth would bite me ear, drawing blood.

On the fourth day I noticed nothing but your hands.
How they held mine, always eager to calm them.
How they pulled the needle out of your arm, quivering.

On the fifth day I noticed nothing but your legs.
How they powerfully allowed you to stride great lengths.
How they were ever in motion, even in your deepest parts of sleep.

On the day sixth I noticed nothing but collarbones.
How I wanted nothing more but to crawl in to them and rest.
How I could gently **** on them, causing your whole body to palpitate.

On the seventh day and for years since I have noticed nothing but each individual hair on your body.
They each have a name, Kassandra, Jared, Peter, Ryan, Falyn, Jacob, Hammed, Caroline, Audrey, Yo-Landi, Diane, Khajjitt, Daralyn, forever and ever and ever.

On the last day I noticed how I never noticed your eyes.
But you were gone,
and I could not tell you what color they are.

Usok,
Mapusok,
Tumutusok.

Buhay nating parang usok
Sa lahat ng bagay nawawalan ng desisyon, mapusok
Kaya ang laging mali sa buhay, tumutusok

Sindi
Landi
Intindi

Makulay na apoy ng sindi
Bawat hithit sa oras, panaho'y malandi
Pinipilit na ang realidad, iniintindi.

Kasama
Tama
Masama

sa bawat yapak sa daana'y ikaw ang kasama
Wala eh, masarap, masarap ang tama
Hanggang sa di mo na namalayan na ikaw na,
ikaw na ang napasama,
ikaw na ang masama.

To A,

I won’t be there for you anymore when you are bored, when you have no more girls to landi with. No more sweet messages. You won’t hear my happy and raspy voice again when you try to talk to me because i bet it wont be happy. I won’t beg you anymore to listen to what am I saying because it is so boring for you, i wont even beg you to stay . You will never hear me laugh at your corny jokes. Yes, I won’t be there for you anymore, but i guess i'll just love you from a distance.

Just so you know, it is so hard for me to do this. I’ve spent many nights overthinking on how to stop thinking about you. I’ve shed bucket of tears everytime you made me feel so disliked. I wrote lots of songs about and for you, but sometimes it brought me ABSOLUTELY NO WORDS because the pain was just too strong IT NO LONGER ALLOWED MY BRAIN to function the way it was, cause you clouded my thoughts with the thought of you. But I want you to know that it ends here. No more overthinking. No more tears every night. And for my future songs, they will no longer be about you, sad to say,  I’m letting my feelings go because it is slowly killing my soul. I’m losing my happiness that is used to put the life in me, but suddenly you killed it.

Thank you for making me realize that I deserve better. Thank you for making me question my self-worth, I am working on it. Thank you for letting me enter your life even if it is just the outermost layer while I’ve let you touch my core. Thank you because you made me realize also how my best friend felt when Clyde hurt her, but at least Clyde was a gentleman and a man enough to come back and love her and actually he never stopped.

For the last time, I want to say sorry. Sorry for being so clingy and needy. Sorry if I assumed that you like talking to me everytime that’s why I called you every chance I’ve got. Sorry if I’ve fell to deep in this pool of emotion when all you’ve wanted is to chill and just enjoy the heat of the sun. I am so sorry. I am sorry i made you do things you were not comfortable in doing pala, lalo na make tambay in coffee shops and just laugh and make kwento.

Someday, I know someone will enter my life and loves being in it. Someone will enjoy listening to my stories about what happened with me and my best friend and what happened at home, or simply a funny thing that i just thought about. Someone will call me just to know how is my day going and will cheer me up if it is not so well. Someone will text me good morning and good night with a smiley. Someone will appreciate me...

and for the next girl that you will love, i hope you will take her to the moon for me, just like how you promised me (hello Moira) i also hope you be good to her, and how I've always dreamt of how you would be.

letting you go

— The End —
