You'd always love
To stare at my smiles
You were addicted
In capturing such moments
Because you'd always say
That that could be the last time
You'd see me smile
That you'd rather treasure
The looks from my eyes
For you wouldn't miss it for the world
You would cry
On my shoulders for hours
Just to make me feel
How much you yearn for me
And you would do anything
For me to stay a little more longer
Back then
You owned me
You owned my sight
As well as my smiles

But why did you let
The last moments of us
To make you see
Not my smiles
But tears in my eyes
Not the love you've became fond of
But of endless rage and regrets
How could you not sustain the love
That had always made me laugh
And instead replace it
With worries and pain
How could you accept
Series of doubts
In exchange of my long loving stares
How could you choose
To end everything
And forget how you loved my smiles

Time does heal
Distance does make us forget
Then you saw me
And I saw you
Staring at me
Admiring my smiles once more
And I knew
Now it's going to be different
You'll be able to see
My eyes again
And stare at me
For the longest of time
But you have to see it
From a far place
Finally, you'll be able to see
The glow in my face
But it is caused
By a different thing now
You'll see me fall in love again
But today,
It's not towards you
Not directed to you
I'll smile at you
And you're free to admire it
Because the moment
You wanted to get freed
I started smiling for me
And never for you
I've started smiling
And they've started
Not to become yours
Not anymore.

Una, Ngayon, at Wakas

Dito magsimula kung saan nawala Ang bawat takot at mga pangamba. Dito magsimula kung saan natapos Ang dalamhating mula sa pagkakagapos. Dito mag-umpisa kung saan nagwakas Ang matatalim na salitang parating nabibigkas. Dito mag-umpisa kung saan naputol Ang mga pagdududa at maling hatol. Ngayon na nga natapos ang paghihikahos Kung kailan inumpisahang ako'y isaalang-alang Ngayon na nga nawala ang pagtataka Nang ako ay iyong lingunin at saka kinilala. At ngayon ay sigurado nang ang dulo Ang magiging hudyat ng pagbabago. At ang pinakatatanging umpisa Ay katapusan na ng pagdurusa. [080321  |  0327]

SIGAW NG ISANG MILENYAL: HALINA'T PAKINGGAN!

A reminder from "us" to our parents. . . We appreciate what you do for us but please be sensitive enough to our emotions.  We know that almost every single thing you do is for our own good but TRUST US (yep, that won't hurt sometimes, will it?), like you, we also get hurt, tired, and burdened.  We also get hot-headed due to our OWN PERSONAL PROBLEMS.  And unfortunately, we also have hormonal imbalances.  IN SHORT, WE HAVE THIS THING CALLED "FEELINGS". Recall those times when you ask us to understand you whenever you're in the middle of those circumstances I mentioned earlier and consequently, you just expect us to be considerate enough to adjust to your needs and demands that somehow require us to exert extra effort, in one way or another. HONESTLY, WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, NOT EVEN A TEENY, TINY ONE.  What we're trying to say is that we, including you and the whole mankind, can only imagine what other people are thinking and fe...

Tanging Pakiusap

Iibigin kang palaging Tunay at tapat, Obra maestrang tabing 'Yong aking ilalapat. Patutunguhan ma'y hindi sigurado, Aabante pa rin patungo sa iyo. Rurok man ng hirap ang ika'y matanto, Aantayin kong magpanagpo tayo. Susuungin ko ang lahat, Araw man o gabi. 'Yong gantimpala ba'y sapat? Oras lang ang magsasabi. Kahit sandali, ako ay lingunin Ibig ko lamang na iyong damhin. Kunwari man lang sanang puso ko'y pansinin O di kaya nama'y sadyang totohanin.
