YOU

"A responsible daughter, a caring sister,

a strong-willed person,an independent woman,

a dear wife,a loving mother,

a best friend..."

You have always been honest and true

words can never define a remarkable person as you...

You've never cried nor complain

even if your heart's in pain...

You have always worn that smile

and hide the hurts for a while...

You have always been so strong

even when things seem to be so wrong...

You have been there in times of need

not minding where it might lead...

You have given your all

no matter how many times you fall...

You never asked for any thing

but a "thank you" would make your heart sing...

You did not count your days

instead valued every second always...

You had faith in God's will

to Him entrusted your life's wheel...

You have lived a full life

held your head high in laughter or in strife...

You have travelled with the angels

in the heavens, danced to the ringing of the bells...

You will be in our hearts forever

there would not be another...

YOUNG AS WE ARE

Young as we are, we think life is easy

its ups and downs yet we cannot see.

Young as we are, we say it's unfair

'cause we think, we've got no share.

Young as we are, we tend to reason out

when made to shut up, we pout.

You as we are, we want to be free

and do things which are silly.

Young as we are, we take everything for granted 

though they've given all we wanted.

Young as we are, we turn to a friend

who promised he'll be there till the end.

Young as we are, we never gave importance

to our life of a never ending dance.

Young as we are, we keep our feelings

'cause we think it's embarrassing.

Young as we are, we keep on changing our mind

but isn't that why we're one of a kind?

Young as we are, we find it hard to say we love someone

'cause we'll be teased by everyone.

Young as we are, why don't we just be happy?

smile even when we're lonely.

PUSO

Puso ay patuloy na naghihintay

sa araw ng pagdating ng pag-ibig na tunay.

Ilang beses na ring tumibok ito

ngunit lagi rin namang nabibigo.

Puso'y hindi mapakali

ano bang dapat gawin upang ika'y mahuli?

Ngayo'y handa na muling magmahal

sa pag-ibig muling susugal.

Puso'y naghihintay pa rin

na sana ako ay iyong ibigin.

Patuloy na umaasang ika'y matagpuan

at sana ay magmahalan.

Puso ay naghahanap ng pag-ibig na totoo

at ng taong hindi manloloko.

Sana kapag ika'y nahanap na

sa puso'y ako lamang walang iba.

PASASALAMAT SA ISANG KAIBIGAN

Sa maikling panahon na ating pinagsamahan,

masasabi kong ika'y isang tunay na kaibigan.

Sa lahat ng oras laging nariyan,

at sa lahat ng bagay maaasahan.

Kahit minsan parang lahat ako'y tinalikuran,

nagpapasalamat ako'y di mo iniwan.

Balikat mo'y laging handa upang masandalan,

ni minsa'y di napagod na ako'y pakinggan.

Magkasama tayo sa mga kalokohan,

hanggang sa mga kaseryosohan.

Lagi tayong nagtatawanan,

kahit pa sa buhay ay nahihirapan.

Kapag ako ay nangangailangan,

ikaw ay nariyan upang ako'y tulungan.

Napakaganda ng ating samahan,

na sana'y magtagal magpakailanman.

Salamat at ika'y naging kaibigan,

pangakong habang buhay na mananatili sa puso't isipan.

HOW I WISH

I was lying on my bed

dreaming of this guy whose emotions seem dead.

I don't know how he caught my attention,

one thing's for sure, he is an inspiration.

He knocks me off my feet when he smiles,

dazzles me with those soulful eyes.

He makes my heart jump with his sweet voice,

running away is my only choice.

But he will never see me,

for he is no longer free.

How I wish I was she,

spending time with him happily.

My illusions will never come true,

'cause someone has taken him too.

How I wish he was mine,

'cause with him everything will be fine.

How I wish I could see him smiling,

for soon he will be leaving.

How I wish I had that one chance,

of sharing with him a last dance.

How I wish he was here,

to comfort me from my fears.

How I wish he was here sitting,

listening to my heart that's singing.

How I wish he knew,

that my love was true.

How I wish he felt the same way,

but I'm just a friend anyway.

How I wish I was there to see him go,

even if it would hurt me so.

How I wish I'd let him know,

that I'll be with him wherever he may go.

LIFELESS

I feel so down lately

the fire in my heart was gone so suddenly

I've got a lot of responsibilities to carry

and hard choices to make

there's a need to find that strength

to start that fire once again

and keep it burning for who knows how long.

DATE WRITTEN: May 5, 2009

BROKEN HEARTED

Why did you have to make me fall

when you're not going to catch me at all?

Why didn't you tell me you've got no feelings for me?

You know your silence pierced my heart so deeply.

Could you make my life less miserable somehow?

But now letting go I don't know how.

Are you content of seeing me writhe in pain

or glad as you watch me go insane?

I've started to hate myself 'cause no matter what I do

damn, can't stop my heart from loving you.

Guess what I feel for you is strong

even if everyone thinks it's all wrong.

I don't care 'cause from her I won't take you away

'cause even if I do, nothing's going to change anyway.

I'll just sit by and watch you have fun with her

believe me, this makes it much easier.

To see from a distance, my favourite smile

makes me forget the pain even for a while.

Go on, just keep smiling

'cause it's the only thing that keeps this heart beating.

UNTITLED NO. 3

Wala na nga bang mas mahalaga sa tao

kundi ang ginhawang natamo?

Bakit nga ba hindi makuntento?

Lahat ng bagay sa mundo'y gusto.

Pera ay nilulustay sa bisyo't luho

subalit ang iba'y nakukuba sa trabaho

kumita lang at mabuhay ang pamilya.

Talaga nga bang wala ng konsensya?

Disiplina sa sarili'y biglang nawala.

Kailan matututong alalalahin ang iba?

Kanyang buhay ay maayos at marangya

ngunit ang iba'y mahirap at walang-wala.

Ibahagi natin kung ano'ng meron tayo

sa sarili dapat magmula ang pagbabago.

Pagtulong sa kapwa'y maging bukal sa puso

upang lipunan ay tuluyang magbago.

UNTITLED NO. 2

Saw you standing there feeling blue

everyone's laughing but you

wish you'd feel the same as they do

found myself standing next to you

but you looked away and broke my heart in two

How I wished you'd look at me

'cause I'm here to make you happy

I know it sounds so silly

'cause you don't have feelings for me 

and might think that I'm going crazy

Hope this feeling would soon die

'cause I can no longer deny

even to myself I cannot lie

and all I can do is sit back and sigh

still dreaming that tomorrow it will be you and I

No matter what I'll wait for you

even if it'd be hard to do

I know illusions don't come true

but if it's really me and you

our hearts will find a way too.

UNTITLED NO. 1

You kept staring at me, it made me feel uneasy

seems there's something you'd like to tell me.

That's when I began hating you

told me there's something you'd want to do.

Every time we'd meet, you're not saying anything

that's why I don't know how you're feeling.

Don't know if you're really into me

or I'm a game for you simply.

I hated myself too

promised I'll never fall for you.

Hell, what's going on with me,

in my dreams, your face is all I see.

I want to kill this crazy feeling

cause right now, my heart's really aching.

Date Written: August 18, 2008

WAITING PATIENTLY

Will you please stop pretending

that you are not listening?

Please stop believing

that you've got no feelings.

Have I told you that I hate you?

'cause you made me feel blue,

I hoped you'd feel the same way too

'cause my feelings for you is true.

I've been wanting to tell you

that I care for you,

that I've been thinking of you

and that I've fallen for you.

I want to let you know that I'm happy

'cause you made my heart jump with me

I hope this feeling stays with me

until you reaize that you love me.

But why did you have to go?

did you really mean to hurt me so?

you've crushed my heart to pieces

I pray this pain ceases.

When the time comes that you're ready

and you come back to me

there's nothing for you to worry

'cause I'll be here, waiting patiently.
