The pavement was drenched by that long, August rain As jeepneys swerved by and people were rushing Under a small umbrella we hurried to catch the train, As the wind grew colder and harsher that evening. As we walked towards the station our hands glued tight Those small, soft hands that laced around mine And even though you kept ranting about that terrible night It became an unforgettable memory  in this heart of mine That short train ride probably felt like the shortest ever As if time flew quickly and you suddenly said your goodbye Leaving me to travel alone pondering about the feelings at play And it struck, that sudden realization, that left me to my sighs These growing emotions kept growing, keeping me up at night Heart beats uncontrolled and erratic whenever you come around It annoys me that in your smile I find unending delight And in my love struck mind your voice sweetly resounds Each and every day I tried to avoid confronting them You see me as a friend, so its a no, a big taboo But a heart never ceases to yearn, no matter how you stop it And in my case, I seek only to be loved by you How everything would go, how far these emotions may take me I can only watch from here, hoping and praying it will go my way But as he comes along, your eyes set on him, it won't be easy The only assurance I hold on to is that you would choose to stay I'll try to assure myself with those calming, bewitching eyes And I guess I'll hold on to your sweetest, merriest smile Even if in truth, I deceive myself with those sweet, yet deadly lies And that my fantasies and reality might never get reconciled Love is a strange yet complicated feeling When you yearn what's not yours, every fiber in you rebels Even when you sacrifice your all and give up everything The ones nearest to your heart, sting like pins and needles But it also gives wisdom, helping young hearts grow Love teaches vigilance even when everything hurts It leaves us questioning, yet giving what we need most to know That it is unquenchable passion and sacrifice for everything it's worth So, here I stand, waiting for the next train to stop by, heading to destinations unknown, meeting the strangest people hoping that someday I'll meet you somewhere under a raining sky Not as friends, but as lovers, perfectly-suited, yet an imperfectly human couple.

Train Ride
The pavement was drenched by that long, August rain As jeepneys swerved by and people were rushing Under a small umbrella we hurried to catch the train, As the wind grew colder and harsher that evening. As we walked towards the station our hands glued tight Those small, soft hands that laced around mine And even though you kept ranting about that terrible night It became an unforgettable memory  in this heart of mine That short train ride probably felt like the shortest ever As if time flew quickly and you suddenly said your goodbye Leaving me to travel alone pondering about the feelings at play And it struck, that sudden realization, that left me to my sighs These growing emotions kept growing, keeping me up at night Heart beats uncontrolled and erratic whenever you come around It annoys me that in your smile I find unending delight And in my love struck mind your voice sweetly resounds Each and every day I tried to avoid confronting them You see me as a friend, so its a no, a big taboo But a heart never ceases to yearn, no matter how you stop it And in my case, I seek only to be loved by you How everything would go, how far these emotions may take me I can only watch from here, hoping and praying it will go my way But as he comes along, your eyes set on him, it won't be easy The only assurance I hold on to is that you would choose to stay I'll try to assure myself with those calming, bewitching eyes And I guess I'll hold on to your sweetest, merriest smile Even if in truth, I deceive myself with those sweet, yet deadly lies And that my fantasies and reality might never get reconciled Love is a strange yet complicated feeling When you yearn what's not yours, every fiber in you rebels Even when you sacrifice your all and give up everything The ones nearest to your heart, sting like pins and needles But it also gives wisdom, helping young hearts grow Love teaches vigilance even when everything hurts It leaves us questioning, yet giving what we need most to know That it is unquenchable passion and sacrifice for everything it's worth So, here I stand, waiting for the next train to stop by, heading to destinations unknown, meeting the strangest people hoping that someday I'll meet you somewhere under a raining sky Not as friends, but as lovers, perfectly-suited, yet an imperfectly human couple.
