Because after years of chasing after you trying to prove

           that I was smart enough for you
       that I was funny enough for you
    that I was right there for you
that I would never give up on you
    I gave up on myself
I was the stupidest one after all
   You proved it
      You were the funny guy
  and You were always right
     and You're still here, don't know why
        and You should have given up
           and yet here we are.

Perseverance is not a question
I will until the earth's not mine
Life has passed me
in every direction
That's a fact with which I'm fine
For but a scarce few
Moments did I not cherish
I shall not perish
With remorse in my heart
Love is all I attend to
And hold for those inside
Mistakes are the people
I have made them
Not one is to blame
For my lost time
Forgiveness is the greatest reconciliator
Of peace and appreciation
Hurt can find
Well-traversed paths
Of contemplation
Form sturdy walls
In the halls of my mind
Their endless miles
In constant motion
Growing through them
I have thrived
Though alone in this passage
Beyond kindness
And beneath burden
A good soul still remains
It will continue
As I do
True as always

So we fall into conversations over cups and tables.Because it is what people do sometimes.Because we might get an insight inside the other world.The other's world.

So we take walks and stretches,just a mile isn't enough. Because we desire to.Because it's a new experience .Always ready to explore.

So we touch and let touch,it's the feel of it.Because it's a level of human connection. Because there's a certain feel good about it all.Pleasures of all time.

So we live and let live ,some matra we picked.Because we've seen and done much.Because we are yet to see and do some more.All stuff good and hell-ish.

So we are that kind of flame,fast but steady.Because the world runs at our pace.Because the world is ours.It's all beautiful really.

She always seemed to be going somewhere,
She was always up to something,
But never told anyone what.
She had friends, but they were few,
She was always up to something,
But not even they knew.
She never stayed in one place long,
She was always up to something,
It was only a matter of time before she was gone.
Onto her next journey; her next voyage,
She was always up to something,
But no one could have seen this coming.
Right when everyone expects her to leave, she doesnt,
She was always up to something,
But she never left then.
She waited and waited until they would least expect it,
She was always up to something,
She wanted no trace to be left.
But she was always up to something,
Planning her escape,
And with that,
She vanished...

They all leave.
They all come into my life
Then leave.
We bond, and start to love each other
But before I know it, they're gone.
One by one,
It happens over and over again.
Everytime a new one comes to me,
They leave just as quickly.
The most unlikely of friends,
And more unlikely lovers,
One moment they're here,
The next they're gone, forever.
I don't know why this happens to me,
I don't know how to prevent it.
All I know is I'll love you always
So please don't leave me this time...

You will be the clouds
and I will be the sky.
You will be the ocean and I will be shore. You will be the stars and I will be the moon you be the sunset and I
Will be the horizon
Whatever we are,
You and I will always collide.

I don't knoweth
Where I wouldst be;
Without mine
Filipino queen.
