We are like ocean waves
Crashing on the shore
We are certain
But we keep on turning away

I will continue to write about you
Of all the things I love about you
The way you make me feel
How I long for the comfort I find in the warmth of your hands
And your scent that still lingers in my head
I will pour these out
Until my mind is emptied of the thoughts of you
Until my heart crisps like autumn leaves
And when the hopeful rays of sunshine
Give birth to a new found love.

I wanna talk about you
And the things I miss about you
But you see, my pen is broken
And my heart has lost its rhythm
The words are crooked
And the paper is nothing but rejection
But let me just write this down
You were the kind of love
I planted on a flower ***
You were the kind of love I watered with silence
And you were the kind of love
That blossomed from a distance
And you were the kind of love that was just as equally painful
And yet it was also as hauntingly
beautiful.

Let’s get on this train
Beyond the yellow line
We’ll never chase away the time
Our feet, bigger than the world beneath
It’s never too late
Hold my hand
We may never have this chance

In this ride
With you by my side
Scenes outside are changing
But you feel all the same

I look at you
Reason, deeply buried within those eyes

I’ll spread your smile
Across the distant seas
And keep this memory
Framed by overlooking trees
We don’t need to share a word
But we’ll talk about this someday

Your hair still smells like winter

It’s time to get off the train
Beyond the yellow line
There’s never enough time
Our feet, bigger than the world beneath

Pouring rain and shallow waters
Where do we go from here?
Do our hearts still burn?

We are never too late.
Hold my hand
I love you just the same.

This life with you
I lived every moment
Let’s talk about that ride
Beyond the yellow line
Our feet, still bigger than the world beneath
We were on time
Let’s talk about that train ride.

Ang tula ay isang wasak na puso
At isang nababagabag na isipan
Na lumalakad sa mga bubog ng alaala
Duguang mga paa, saan ka pupunta?
Lumuluhang mga mata, ano ang iyong nakikita?
Kung ang kahapon ay nilisan na, sa pagsikat ng araw mananatili ba?
Kung ang sana ay isang mahigpit na yakap, kakapit ka ba?
Kung ang mga halik ay matamis na panaginip, gigising ka pa ba?
Kung ang kanyang mga kamay ay pangako ng isang umaga, bibitiw ka ba?
Ang tula ay mga salita ng unang pagkikita at mga yapak ng paalam na.

Let me keep you
In the vortex of my memory

Though unreachable,

But even just the very thought of you,
Let it spark the insides of my heart.

What can be more precious than time?
How each stroke creates a resonating sound
A nostalgia in every round
What can be more beautiful than time?
That breaks the dawn with painted skies
And a golden sun that dies for moon?
What can be more powerful than time?
That wounds the heart
And heals a soul?
That can stop the world
And hold two people in tune?

You make my mind restless
And my heart is rather reckless
You are my sleepless night
And the reason I write
You carry a world, maybe a burden to some
But it's making you dance
To a tune I may never understand
I love watching you take every step
If only those feet are meant to dance with mine
But still you're singing the sweetest lullaby
And darling, I painfully hold on to your melody

We only have words between us
A reason to smile
Fragments of the mind
A scent that lingers on
To shake my bones
And set the heart on fire

You have golden dust in your eyes
When silence creeps in
I dream, can't I?
A golden skyline
Or an ocean view
The smell of salty air
I looked at you
Words, that's how I fell for you
