Sana'y nabatid ko, bakit siya lumisan Ano ang dahilan, bakit biglang nagbago ang isipan Sa loob ng mga taon, 'di mapalagay ang puso't isip Bawat posibilidad, wala mang saysay At sa huli, naiisip... Siguro nga, 'di niya 'ko minahal Ngunit 'yon ang pinakamasakit Pinakawalang saysay sa lahat 'Di mawari, 'di maintindihan Ba't bigla na lang nawalan ng saysay ang kahapon Ang pinanghawakan, bigla na lang nawala Parang bula, ika'y humiyaw... Ohhh... nasaan na ba? Bakit kailangang mag-isa? Pinagtagpi-tagpi ang mga alaala Mga pangakong binitawan nang 'di man lang sinasadya Oo, may galit, may pait, may hindi maipaliwanag Lalo na 'yung tanong — "Bakit 'di ako naging sapat?" 'DI MAWARI, 'DI MAINTINDIHAN! BA'T BIGLA NA LANG NAWALAN NG SILBI ANG LAHAT! ANG PINANGHAWAKAN, BIGLA NA LANG NAWALA! PARANG BULA, IKA'Y HUMIYAW... But my greatest lesson learned... You were mine... until you weren't And it was you who taught me so... The GRACE in LETTING GO... The time we had was all — There was not a moment more No more questions, no what-ifs Just an open door... I'M STANDING STRONG, I'M BREATHING FREE! THE GIRL I WAS, SHE HAD TO LEAVE! YOU WERE A CHAPTER, NOT MY WHOLE STORY! NOW I'M CLAIMING BACK MY GLORY! AND I'M SINGING NOW, FOR ALL TO HEAR! MY HEART IS MINE, I CONQUER FEAR! THE PAIN YOU LEFT, IT MADE ME WHOLE! AND NOW I'M TAKING BACK MY SOUL! Hangga't hindi na... You were mine... until you weren't... And now... I am mine again.

Hanggang Hindi Na
Higit isang taon na rin ang nakalipas Nang lisanin ang bansang Pilipinas Upang subukan ang buhay Sa lugar na kung tawagin ay Dubai Naalala ang galak ng pagpunta dito   Nang sa kalaunay puro na reklamo Paano naman kasi ang mga Arabo Minsan lang maligo sa isang linggo Dagdag pa ng klima na sobrang init Pawis mo'y abot hanggang singit   At kung taglamig naman ay pumasok Gusto mo na lng mamaluktot sa isang sulok   Pagkain na amoy pa lang aayaw ka na   Kahit gutom mawawalan ka rin ng gana Babae nila'y nakasuot ng itim na bestida Pati lalake rin ay nagsusuot ng palda   Pero kahit ganun ang katulad nila Gusto ko ang kanilang pananampalataya Sa diyos na tinatawag nilang Allah May oras talaga pag nagdarasal sila   Akala ng marami buhay dito ay maganda Di lng nila alam kami'y nangungulila Sa pagmamahal na ipinabaon   Ng mahal na makikita lng pagkatapos ng ilang taon Tila ang bilis ng mga pangyayari May mabuting resulta kaya sa bandang huli Lahat ng sakit, pagod at pighati   Mapagsilbihan lang ang mga ibang lahi Kung lahat ng ito'y isang panaginip Ayoko na talagang maidlip Hay... buhay Dubai nga naman Sana nga may patutunguhan...

Buhay Dubai
Sutla ang iyong kutis, Ilang inches na heels iPad ang hawak Ayan pa’t naka-Rayban Kahit taglamig – Ganyan dito sa abroad Pasyal dito pasyal doon Higit sa lahat Hindi barya ang sahod. Padala sa Pinas, Lahat ay winaldas Dami pang pasakalye Datong din pala Palaman ng inyong mensahe. Aba’t bida pala si bunso Sa tropa’t sa eskwela Hindi ba’t astig? Pang-party nila’y Siya ang laging taya! Ang binata ko’y Malaki na talaga Kapapanganak lang daw Ng bespren nya Anak, tanong lang ba’t sa handa nila’y Ikaw ang itinoka? Ang ilaw ng tahanan Na siyang aking iniirog Sabay sa uso Nakasisilaw ang alahas Inubos ata ang bawat perlas Buti’t nakaahon pa’t Ayan, kay kumpare pa Siya’y nakakapit! At ang nararapat Na panglamang-tiyan Kulang pa pala Kanyang sinapupunan May bagong buhay Mahal, saan siya nanggaling? Puso ko’y nalurak Ako’y inahas na Pinagsamantalahan pa Akala nila’y ok lang Akala ko’y may babalikan pa Yung totoo, Lata’y hiyang-hiya na Humihikbi ito Makatikim lamang ng barya Wala na ang sahod, Awitin ko’y “Palimos.” (12/2/13 @xirlleelang)

Ang Pakikipagsapalaran ni Juan Dela Cruz: Abroad Version
Oh, Lady I do understand. With all that I am, To love someone like me is wrong. Even if our heart's singing a song, A song called love and affection. It's condemned in your religion, And you are very religious person. Just go away from me, I will set you free, And I hope and pray, That you'll find him and be happy. If only reincarnation is true, I wish my soul will enter to a man's flesh. The day I die, I will find you. I will bring the love for you still fresh. It won't go stale... Because my love for you is like a legend story, It is not a Tale. Forever... it's you and me, Lady.

REINCARNATION
I've got love as high as the stars, And strong as the Sun. I've got love as deep as the Trench, And pure as the air in the highlands. As the time goes by so fast, It got wasted and turn into dust. My love is like a water that went dry in the well, A dramatic change of weather. Now that summer is near, Love in my heart grows. From a seed that goes along with the wind, I don't love you anymore as a friend. If you only open up your eyes that been blinded, On loving someone who didn't love you the way you do. Open your heart's door and let me enter, Let me stay inside as long as you wanted me to. Just give me a chance, This time it will be perfect. I will return your love much more than your feeling... I will keep the love sparks and flickering, Not just today but all the coming morning.

Just Give me a Chance
She gave her all to him, Her heart, body, soul and dream. How many times she caught him lied, But when he reasoned, all the doubts died. Her heart's melted when he said "I love you" All the fights and misunderstandings were gone. But he keep on doing this whenever he wants to, When he's angry, he said the words that hurts you to the bone. You know this is not right, But you got blinded by your love's light. If only I can dictate your heart, I want it to push him out. So you can make a brand new start, If only you'll be OK by belting a shout. You don't deserved all these heartaches and pain. Why he's treating you this way, I'm aching. He didn't realized how lucky he was to got you, If I were him, I will show your real value. As a friend to you, can you please hear me? Leave some love for yourself, It's just not meant to be. Don't give up hope, cos it's not too late.

UR REAL VALUE
Dedicated to: Corrine B. I fully understand what you feel, We're the same, kinda martyr. Our love story is like a film on a reel, Our heartache's can't be filter. I heard your voice over the phone, You cried while you told me your problem. My heart's aching absorbing your voice tone, I think of my own situation and I'm overwhelmed. I visualize your face wet in blood, For many nights you cried so hard. Someday...I will pray to God. We found ourselves inlove. I will catch your heart, next time. When he break it again, you're mine. I will let you reign inside, I want to offer you love that will never subside.
