i never learnt how to swim
yet here i am
with my head under water
and my clothes soaking wet

hoping
that the sea is more honest
with those who are willing to drown

Sa bawat araw nananabik ako
makita ka kahit sandali
di mapigilan ang aking nadarama
sa tuwing hawak ko ang iyong  mga kamay

Pipikit at sasayaw sa mga alala
na tayo lang dalawa ang nakakaalam
mga tawanan ,kulitan at harutan
naiisip ko na sana dito nalang tayo

Dito... sa tabi ko mag kasama ikaw at ako
nakapulupot sa mga yakap ko
sabay bulong na nandito lang ako
pero lahat pala may dulo


dahil sa mundong ito lahat pala ay hiram
na pwede mawala kahit anong oras at panahon
at kung bibigyan ako bumalik sa kahapon
mamahalin kita ulit
  at hinde sasayangin ang pag kakataon....

As I’m lying on bed tonight,
Staring blankly at the ceiling,
My thoughts reach you.

I go to the page where we last talk,
It didn’t end well,
I want to do it again.

But I know I won’t be able to bring myself to you again.

I figure you’re happy now.
I figure you have someone by your side.
I figure you don’t speak of me anymore.
Yeah, I already figured that much.

I hope she loves you as much as I do or even more.
I hope she makes you smile at the end of your tiring day.
I hope she is kind to you.
I hope your mom likes her.
Because she doesn’t like me </3

Treat her well,
Listen to her,
Tell her how much she means to you,
Don’t let her go.

I love you, and I shall pray the best for you.

Waiting for the bus to arrive
Hoping to go away and thrive
Seeing the world in other places
Wanting to be in different spaces

Learning about all kinds of things
Searching around to see what it brings
Having the chance to see life dance
Maybe, just maybe, take a whole new stance

Life has ways to move right along
I want to be there to learn its new song
It's been so long that I could be free
The happy inside just wants to see...
