I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new,
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
but now it's come to distances and both of us must try,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time,
walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me,
it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea,

but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't
untie,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

Nagkatinginan
Mga matang kumikislap
Katulad ng mga tala sa kalangitan,
Sabay ngiti
Na animo'y mas malawak pa
Sa kalawakan.
Nasisiyahan, nagagalak
Na mga puso sa tuwina
Wari ko lang naman
Sana ramdam mo din
Itong aking nararamdaman para sa iyo,
Oh aking sinta.
Akala ko, di ko naman siguro ikakamatay,
Kung hindi ko mahawakan ang iyong mga kamay.

pero

Hindi ko yata tanggap ang buhay
Kung saan di man lang ako sumubok magtagumpay.

Handa akong harapin ang katutuhanan,
Kahit pa ito ay walang katiyakan,
Kahit pa may pangamba sa iyong kasagutan.

i used to remember your laugh like it was yesterday
so visceral and clear
it hurt so much to know what I had lost

now your laugh is a memory of a memory
distorting the harder I try to recall
shouldn’t it hurt less—
to forget what I once held dear?

the suffocating sorrow of a clear memory
and
the desperate grasping at the light i thought would never fade

only a laugh so lovely, could cause this kind of pain
