Wild Rose

That one early summer

You mentioned and whispered

You are about to leave me hanging

Ready to let go of all of the love we shared.

I was caught off guard

I cannot speak a word

Tears just went flowing

More than I can afford.

Like a wild rose

I was left in the meadows

All by myself

Just waiting for the sunlight

And the rain to keep me alive.

Like a wild rose

I was blown away by the wind

Was threatened by the lightning

But I still manage to survive.


Like a wild rose

I know I am strong

You told me I am

I believe in you.

I know you are in a safe place now.

I feel you are longing for me.

I see, I dream of you somehow.

It aches to set you free. 

I wish this is not goodbye

I believe we can get back together in time.

I love you despite all my cries.

I will bloom for you

Until all the other flowers wither and die.

kimika

Hindi kakalimutan,

Aalalahanin ka araw araw.

Ang iyong pangalan

Na isa sa isang milyon

Lamang sa mundong ibabaw.

Sa paglisan mo nawa'y 

Maalala mo pa rin ako.

Mapatawad.

Mapangiti ka.

Kahit sandali

Naramdaman mo rin naman.

Yung kimika.

Yung tensyon

Yung musika

Yung reaksyon.

Yung lambing.

Yung init.

Yung tuwa.

Yung galit.

Yung luha. 

Lahat ng bersyon ng iyong pagkatao.

Naipakita mo nang walang halong kasinungalingan.

Lahat ng iyong kahinaan ay hindi mo ikinahiyang ipangalantaran.

Sobrang gusto kita.

Hahantong na yata sa pagmamahal.

Ngunit ngayon na lilisan ka na.

Ang masasabi ko lang ay mabigat na pasasalamat. 

Mag ingat ka palagi. 

Napakaganda mo sa aking paningin. 

emotional imprint

my brain did not fall for you

it took seven months to get to this

it's the start of being restless

and awake with my weekend limerence.

i really wanted to become part 

of your personal space.

that will make me burn and perish,

but contented and cherished.

i love the way you see me as important,

i do not even know me anymore.

i even feel i do not deserve

this kind, warm and respectful treatment.

damn i like you a lot!

i never thought at this very moment of tragedies,

of promises and being trapped in downhill spiral,

someone too good to be true

will be a savior.

damn i like you a lot!

but it would be best to shut my mouth.

damn i wanted to kiss your lips!

and be wrapped around your slender limbs.

damn i like you more.

more than your manly gestures, more than your big smile.

more than your mysterious attitude

and more...

more than all the things i know nothing of.

and apologies if i fall.

because you let me.

even if i am alone on this situation.

i am happy.

so yes, i am happy to be wrapped alone.

happy with how these feels.

seeing you makes everything clear

and warm

and gracious

and beautiful.

YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
