I was on the streets
Alone and dying, looking for someone.
Then, You came along.
You had a heart for me
So You picked me up and put me on Your back.
Carrying me home, You told me You loved me ever since.
For in that moment,
You introduced me to the feeling of living.
I didn’t want that feeling to end.
“No wind
No traffic lights
No one
Could ever stop me from loving You back.”

Said my soul.
But
My heart and mind
Oh why oh why should I go back
To those lonely streets?
I want to be with You and You only.
But I keep
Failing.
You gave everything to me.
My friends
My family
My life
Your heart
But I didn’t care.
I only cared for myself.
Every time.
I always fall in the same manhole.
And yet, You still reach down to me with your hand and tell me
“It’s all right.
I love you.”

Every time.
I am sorry.
No matter what we do, we will always be loved by Him.
John 3:16.

Nahihirapan akong huminga
Kakaisip sa kanya
Saan ba siya nagpunta?
Hindi man lang nagpaalam.

Nagdadabog kasi 'di ka nasilayan
Hawak-hawak ang sarili kong kamay
Nag-iisa sa buhay
Wala na akong kasama.

Pero sa
Isang
Pagkakataon
Dumating ka

Hindi ko na kinaya
Mahirap palang itago ang saya
Kaya nang humarap ka sa akin
Nalaman kong
Masarap mabuhay kasi
Sa 'yo lang ako nagkakamalay

"Don't fix it if it ain't b  r  o  k  e  n."
What if the fixing itself is actually the one that's b  r  o  k  e  n?
What if it didn't really need to be run by a token?
That's the problem. Doing the unspoken.
Let it be open
If it's really meant to be
Broken.

Nauubos na siya
Bigyan mo ng oras para mapuno
Maghintay.

Nauubos na
Hindi mapigilang magduda
Maghintay.

Nauubos
Hindi mo na kaya?
Maghintay.

Ubos
Sige lang
Maghintay.

Kawalan.
Ano?
Maghintay

Ako
Sagipin mo ako
Nalulunod ako
sa pag-iisip
Pag-iisip na wala ka
Bigyan mo ako ng
pag-asa
Nang hindi ako dumaan sa
pag-asa
Sa pagkamit ng buong
Ikaw

— The End —
