maybe we held each other too close
which made us now too loose.

maybe we became too dependent,
that made us now feel indifferent.

we can pretend this is easy,
but how long will we both feel weary?
梅香 Sep 2020
change is painful,
but it is beautiful.

nothing in the world is fixed and arranged,
so you must have your feelings managed.

you can't be too attached,
neither can be too detached;

so know where your heart rests easy,
and let it decide freely.

she
she walks in
with vigor from within.
she upholds her dignity
and she does not settle for mediocrity.

because she is a woman,
with wit as wide as the ocean;
she does more than just exist,
idiocy is what she will resist.

it's funny how i remember you in any way possible,
and when I do,
i realize you're irreplaceable,
how i wish i am too.

there's this time i heard your favorite song,
i reminisce how you'd repeatedly say you love it,
and when i do, i listen for it so long,
suddenly, the sadness just hits.

i even recall the moments when you get all my joke,
remembering that my humor is not something anyone can perceive,
and when i do, i just laugh and croak.
it's sad that you just had to leave.

i think of the time when you first heard my voice,
you kept on teasing how i sounded so cute,
but now that you're gone i have nothing to rejoice.
instantly, everything just turns mute.

do you remember when i tried not paying attention to you?
when i keep leaving you on read?
i was just so scared that you'll go and leave me out of the blue,
funny cause now that's what happened.

and i still recall when we play this certain game,
i'd be the one to start it but I always forget to join so I would be shocked.
now, without you, it is not the same.
cause without you, everything just stopped.

you keep on reminding me to remember,
so i try my best to recall.
i know for a fact that you'll never be back again ever,
but I just wanna say, I remember it all.

the distance between

you and I

is a single word

hovering upon my lips

clings to me

and I grip on to it

hoping it won't slip away

disappear, be forgotten

me with you

I let my fingers

remain in your grasp

for an extra second

hoping I won't slip away

from you

I itch to find the right words,
so as not to come off all messy and absurd
yet a lot of oppositions exist even before a word or two
all these words remain unsaid just as how it used to;
reserve your wit,
reserve your advice,
reserve all your chaos,
because sometimes words come off as swords
when all emotions and thoughts come off unfathomed and cluttered.

the vagueness in your eyes
tells how much you fed me with lies

the expression on your face
shows you lost love someplace

the tone of your voice
sounds like i'm no longer your choice

the touch of your hand
feels like leaving is what you demand

and the coldness of your heart
explicitly shows we can no longer restart.
what we are right here and now.

sa magandang bukang-liwayway
isa na namang bagong paglalakbay,
ang naghihintay upang mas maging matapang
ang bukal na pusong naghihinayang.

sa pagsikat ng araw
bagong pag-asa ang lumilitaw,
para gumawa ng mga desisyon
upang buhay ay may direksiyon.

sa pagdating ng dapit-hapon
at nakuha na ang lahat ng pagkakataon
hindi alintanang nagawa kung anong tama,
ngunit walang malay rin sa nagawang masama.

at sa pagsapit ng hatinggabi,
wala ka nang ibang katabi
kundi ang iyong sarili,
at konsensyang naghuhunos-dili.
prosesong araw-araw na nauulit,
dito sa mundong puno ng "bakit?".

maybe in a parallel world
our feelings are not whirled,

fate is on our side
and our horizons are wide,

dreams together got no boundaries
we'd endlessly make memories,

our time together isn't interfered
and unlimited chances for us appeared.

but seeing today our love in famine
all of those things i can only imagine.
wholly hoping that maybe somewhere else
we could love each other without any less.

in an alternate universe,
may we never disperse.

hindi naman ako tanga
upang sa inyo pa ay humanga
kung ang kahirapan ngayon ay bunga
ng pagtatakip ninyo ng inyong mga tainga.

alipin man sa pang-aabuso,
pamahalaan man ay payaso;
paniniwalaan ko pa rin ang mahinang proseso
balang araw makakarating rin tayo sa paraiso.
