Erewhile

Strangers we are now
Invisible
As if our memories never mattered
Our memories were all, but, memories
Lost in time, forgotten perhaps
Almost two years of building something up
rubbles in a split second
Friendship I thought was for keeps,
I guess I was wrong.
Too good to be true or too blinded by the lies.

Your gaze, your nonchalance
As if I was nothing, worthless
All the while I poured my everything
I gave my all
Well, I know it's my fault, clearly, unfortunately.
Like broken glass, broken strings of an old guitar
It still plays
but not the same tune anymore,
not the same sound
Nothing's ever gonna be the same.

Your voice
your sweet voice that used to calm me
Now it irks me, like a siren in the middle of the night
unwelcoming, unsoothing
Disrupting my peaceful slumber
jolting me to oblivion

Your laugh
that angelic laughter that melts my very core,
now leaves me reaching for my earplugs
Volumes raised,
trying to drown the noise in whatever's playing

What used to inspire me,
now throws me off course
I hate it
Such a sad fate
How sad
How really really sad.

In a Perfect World

In a perfect world
Your hand would perfectly fit into mine
I could wipe all your tears and sorrows away
I would brave every storm
and move every mountain just to be with you

In a perfect world
I'll see to it that everyday is special
To make each moment count
To somehow make your dreams and mine come true

In a perfect world
I could hold you close
Close enough to hear your heart beat
Wrap you in my arms
and will not let you go easily

In a perfect world
I could be the one to turn to
when you're heaving a bad day
We'd sing our lungs out
or just lay perfectly still

In a perfect world
I would let you dance the night away
and let you shine like the bright star that you are

In a perfect world
We could share every triumph,
every happiness, every pain
You need not worry about anything
'coz you've got me til my last bit of strength

In a perfect world
You will have me and I, you

In a perfect world
where nothing and no one else matters
Except for me and you.

Amidst the chaos around me...
Busy people...
People soaked in their computers...
Not minding each other's business........
The world's in topsy turvy...
Ringing phones... hurried footsteps...
Yet... all I can think about is what I left at home..........
Can't wait to hold you in my hands....
and feel your every curve.
It's too soon, I know.
We've just met last night... yet you're all I ever think about.
Obsessed? I don't reckon so.
I can't wait to travel the world with you...
To see its magnificence through your eyes.
You are one of those dreams that came true.
Tangible albeit surreal.
I never doubted it, yet I am surprised that it's this soon....
Maybe it's just meant to be.
:)

Ulan at Gabi

Nakita kita kanina sa jeep
nung kami'y pauwi na
Tumibok ang aking puso
May pamilyar na kabog sa dibdib na di mawari
Di ko matanggal ang titig ko sayo
Tila ikaw ay nagbago.
Pilit kong sinilip ang iyong wangis,
dahil braso mo'y nakasabit
Ilang pulgada lang ang layo natin sa isa't isa,
ngunit tilay ako'y taga ibang planeta.
Naalala ko bigla yung una nating pagkikita,
sumakay tayo sa jeep patungong Baywalk,
di ko akalaing tahimik ka,
na tila walang kibo.
Mahirap basahin ang iniisip mo,
takot akong magkamail o may magawang ika'y magalit.
Pareho pa tayong kumakapa sa dilim,
pero lahat ng takot at pagaalinlangan ay nawala
Pag hawak ko na ang malalambot mong mga kamay
Gusto kong tumigil ang oras pag kasama kita
Susungkitin ang buwan at mga tala,
at iaaahin ang mga ito sa iyong mga paa.
Screeeeekkkkkkkkk...................
Biglang prumeno ang  jeep,
sa kalagitnaan ng ulan at trapik.
Pinilit kong itago ang pagtitig ko sayo,
ngunit sa yero nauntog ang aking ulo.
Kamukha mo lang pala yun.
Magkapareho kayo ng mga mata,
yung mga matang minsa'y nagpatunaw ng aking puso.
Naglaho ng parang bula ang mga pangarap,
nung pumara ang jeep sa may kanto.
Bitbit mo sa iyong bag ang aking puso.
Eto lang ang pakiusap ko sayo,
pakisauli na lang
Kung magkita man ulit tayo....
