Yours was the sunset that brought me to my knees,
but you are and always will be, my sunrise.

With gentle tunesAnd every pluck of each stringI summon happinessI live with glee.Whoever made youHas indeed a heart of goldFor the joy you bring meOne that even by words can’t ever be told. You had me at hiI pulled you closeSad songs you transformedA pretentious melody sounded true.Lying in the hammockIn front of the seaI […]

Pangako
Kaytagal kitang hinintay. Oo, ikaw. Hindi naging madali ang ating pagtatagpo. Parehas tayong nagmahal ngunit sa kinasamaang palad ay nabigo. Sinabi natin sa ating sarili na di na natin bubuksan ang ating puso sa isang nilalang na kaya tayong gawing pinakamasayang tao sa mundo, at pinakamalungot. Mahal, sinasabi ko sayo na ngayong ika’y aking natagpuan, maaari […]
I wish I could be a hundred percent honest with you. I wish I could tell you that I miss our conversations about anything under the sun. I wish you didn’t build a wall and close everybody off. I wish you were consistent and honest. I wish you were ready. I wish you didn’t put […]
