tama ba…
na maging masaya ako na dumating ka sa buhay ko…
nang di sinadya ay nagkrus ang magkaiba nating landas…
at nagdugtong ang buhay ko at buhay mo…
at sumilay ang ngiti sa aking mga labi…
nang sumilip ang araw sa madilim kong paligid…
at mula sa malayo ay natatanaw kita…
papalapit sa akin ang maamo mong mukha…
at bumilis nang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko…
at maraming naglaro sa malikot kong isip…
may dahilan daw ang bawat bagay sa buhay natin…
at bawat taong dumadating sa buhay natin ay may gagampanan…
bakit nga kaya naitanong ko sa sarili ko…
dapat nga ba akong matuwa?
tama ba…
na maging bahagi ka ng bawat araw ko…
ang malungkot ‘pag ‘di ka nakita kahit isang araw man lang…
at mapuno nang saya pag nakita ka na ulit…
mababaw ang halakhak sa bawat mong biro…
manatili ang ngiti ‘pag naapuhap ka ng alaala…
ang panoorin ang bawat mong galaw…
at pasukin ang malawak mong mundo…
mahiga sa malambot mong unan…
humilig sa iyong balikat…
mabusog sa yakap mong mahigpit…
dapat ko ba itong maramdaman?
tama ba…
managhili kung may kasama kang iba
na mabighani ka ng kanyang ganda…
mainggit ‘pag tinapunan mo sya ng malagkit mong tingin…
masaktan ‘pag napangiti ka nya…
at maangkin nya ang matamis mong labi…
o kulungin sya ng iyong mga bisig…
at maabot nya ang langit sa iyong piling…
dapat ba akong makialam?
tama ba…

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true?
I of course replied
“Something here inside
Cannot be denied”They said someday you’ll find
All who love are blind
When your heart’s on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyesSo I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my loveNow laughing friends deride
Tears I can not hide
So I just smile and say
“When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes”
Smoke gets in your eyesSo I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love
Without my love

here in my heart
Sometimes there’s a time when you must say goodbye
Though it hurts you must learn to try
I know I’ve got to let you go
But I know anywhere you go
You’ll never be far
‘Coz like the light of a bright star
You’ll keep shining in my life
You’re gonna be right
Here in my heart
That’s where you’ll be
You’ll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you’re here in my heart
Won’t be any tears falling from those eyes
‘Cos when true love never dies
It says alive forever
Time can’t take away what we have
I will remember our time together
You may think our time is through
But I’ll still have you
Here in my heart…
I know you’ll be back again
And ’till then
My love is waiting
Here in my heart…

i can wait forever…..
I just wanna get back close again to you.
But for now your voice is near enough.
How I miss you, and I miss you love.
And though all the days that pass me by so slow,
all the emptiness inside me flows all around,
and there’s no way out.
I’m just thinkin’ so much you.
There was never any doubt.
chorus
I can wait forever if you say you’ll be there too.
I can wait forever if you will.
I know it’s worth it all to spend my life alone with you.
When it looked as though my life was wrong,
You took mylove and gave it somewhere to belong.
I’ll be here when hope is out of sight.
I just wish that I was next to you tonight.
And oh, I’ll be reaching for you even though
You’ll be somewhere else, my love.
We’ll go like a bird on its way back home
I could never let you go.
And I just want you to know…
chorus
Where are you now,
along with the thoughts we share?
Keep them strong somehow.
And you know I’ll always be there.
chorus repeat and fade

it must have been love….
a sound of silence
in the bedroom and all around
touch me now
I close my eyes
and dream away
it must have been love
but it’s over now
it must have been good
but I lost it somehow
it must have been love
but it’s over now
it’s where the water flows
it’s where the wind blows
make believing
we’re together
that i’m sheltered
by your heart
but in and outside
had turn to water
like a teardrop
in your heart
but it’s a hard
it must have been love
but it’s over now
it was all that I wanted
now i’m living without
it must have been love
but it’s over now
it’s where the water flows
it’s where the wind blows…
it must have been love
but it’s over now
it must have been good
but I lost it somehow
it must have been love
but it’s over now
it’s where the water flows
it’s where the wind blows…

…humble regrets…
i am bounded by my own foolishness. i knew i must have done something to avoid me falling but i refrained from mere cautiousness and let things be. however, i had no regrets. it was my choice and no one forced or influenced me. it was entirely my own decision. now the time has come to reap what i have sown. i’m afraid i was not prepared to face it.
it’s not that i don’t think first before making a decision. it’s just that i don’t think twice to see if it was the right one. learning is a constant process and failure is an evident outcome. if it pays to fail, then i would love to learn more.
i must admit i failed but more than once and i have the reason to believe that everyone else does. however, life is too short to make it a trial and error ground to practise for. one failure affects much of our lives and leads to dozens of after effect. mistakes may lead to a chain of endless errs.
this was one lesson i learned, the hard way. it’s true that when you listen to your heart, your mind then will definitely take the backseat. it depends on what really matters to you…how you feel or how others would feel about how you feel. otherwise, if you decide to let the brain take charge instead, then your heart would have to endure the pain it brings.
it was a tricky choice but i made my pick. i listened to my heart. it was not the best choice i know. but it made my heart smile. the joy it brought me was worth the pain it has along with it. on the other hand, i realized i was too selfish just thinking of my feelings alone and not considering those around me. i should not live for just myself and there are people whose opinions matters to me and my life. and i had to let them go to give way to my own will.
and believe me, there is a big difference in making such a decision. i didn’t knew what i’d loss or win until i’ve made my choice. it was like taking a chance on a bet and hoping the result was a win. if it was not, i may need to accept the pain of losing.

foolish me…
i have taken a few steps
and i have not come too far
i tested with both feet
if waters were deep
leaving me to drown
in my own foolish slip

just once
i did my best
but i guess my best wasn’t good enough
co’z here we are back where we were before
seemed nothing ever changes
we’re back to being strangers
wondrin’ if we ought to stay
or head on out the door
just once
can we figure out what we’ve been doing wrong?
why the good times never last for long
what are we doing wrong?
just once
can we find a way to fin’lly make it right?
make the magic last for more than just one night
if we could just get to it
i know we can break through it..
i gave my all
but i guess my all may have been too much
the lord knows we’re not getting anywhere
it seemed we’re always blowing
whatever we got going
it seemed that time is all we got
we haven’t got a friend
make the magic last for more than just one night
if we could just get to it
i know we can break through it
just once
i want to understand
why it always comes back to goodbye
why can’t we give ourselves a hand
and admit to one anothere
we’re no good without each other
have the best to make it better
find a way to stay together
just once
can we find a way to fin’lly make it right?
make the magic last for more than just one night
if we could just get to it
i know we can break through it
just once
oh, we can get to it
just once

if
if i am to hold you
through a shadow of fears
visions are blinded
with a handful of tears
clouds of cigar smoke
heavy on my eyes
sounds of low whispers
echoing through the night
i am but a slave
of a damned emotion
of falling too deeply
in love with you
you are a promise
i cannot own
until i hear your lips
silently moan
that i am the love
that you were longing for
an end to a journey
of seeking in vain

……silenced…………..
running to and fro
giggling innocence fills the air
resemblance of not long ago
when i used to fit in tiny slippers
completely unaware of harshness
a wild world there is in the out
boxed in own young mind
indulging in toddler toys
yet ears turned upon truth
little hearts pained in ignorance
parting seemed unconsented
entire being much affected
never included in the bargain
of which is which and what’s next
face an ounce of whatever
would have no choice at all
would not even have a say
to accept as the only opt
hatred much contained
taken much for granted
emotion less considered
pretty little princesses
poor, poor young ones
happiness defied
gazing into his image
looking through his weary eyes
sensing amid sadness
softly speak as he embrace
on his lap his small angels
in his own place of heaven
a home that was broken
along with his heart
young dreams he wish to fulfill
for his lovely little ladies
fate was unkind
to break their young hearts
he tried to restore
a faith in them
rebuild a missing hope
failures to succeed
to live in a happy home
taking a blind step
to pull his way up
take them along
a better promised land
fear to face ahead
strength from their young hands
deny his own self
to protect them from harm
