Inakala

Ang hirap pala

Kasalanang maging masaya

Bakit ba kasi bawal

Pakinggan ang pintig ng puso

Sa bawat ikot ng alak

At sa tanong na binabato

Para akong nasusunog

Napapaso sa sariling liwanag

Katotohanang tatanggapin

Na hanggang panaginip na lang

Ngayo'y naguguluhan

Nais lumisan, gustong mawala

Lumayo, siguro'y ang sagot

Dahil tama nga naman

Hindi pwede, hindi tayo pwede

Bakit pa ba ipipilit

Kung walang handang sumugal

Sa mga salitang narinig mula sayo

Inakala ko lang pala

Na kahit papaano may pag-asa

Buong gabing nag-isip

Dala ang bigat kinaumagahan

Pilit na mga ngiti

Puno ng lungkot ang mga mata

Nanghihina, walang gana

Dahil kahit anong tago

Masakit, naninikip

Hiling na kung pwede lang

Kahit ngayong araw lang

Sana puso'y magmanhid

Eclipse

Wanting to see you is my only wish

Whenever I go to bed to rest

Always hoping that one day

I'll get to sleep wrapped in your arms

Giving light is our gift

Special in our own ways

We give happiness and hope

Sometimes blinding, sometimes serene

As I live on how I'm destined

Already used to it

Even I keep bleeding

Makes me weak, wants to faint

Then one day, lucky to get a chance

To be with you for a moment

Thinking no one, just ourselves

Cherishing every minute, seconds

I knew that this will not last

Expected that you'll just come by

So now as I watched your back, leaving

Why is my heart still hurting that much?

Sinful Fondness

Every time we play

I can't help but imagine

Wondering what's the feeling

You embracing me while playing

Every time we walk

I can't help but think

Wondering what's the feeling

If I hold your hand while walking

Every time we sing

I can't help but smile

Wondering what's the feeling

You singing lullabies while I'm sleeping

Every time we talk

I can't help but look at your lips

Wondering what's the feeling

When your lips touch mine

Every time I think of you

I can't help it, it beautifully wrecks me

Already knew that all of these thoughts and wonders

Will always be the same,

Thoughts and wonders

Alarm Clock

Ulan, o kay sarap pagmasdan

Bawat patak ay sinusundan

Giliw, kapag kasama ka anong saya

Sumayaw, magtampisaw tayo sa ilalim ng ulan

Hagkan na matagal kong inasam

Na akala ko'y pangarap lang

Para 'kong nabuhay sa panaginip

Ayoko nang magising kung ikaw ay mawawalay sa'kin

Teka lang, pakiusap

Pwede bang limang minuto pa?

Teka lang, pwede ba

Kaso heto ako gigising na

Libra

I didn't deserve to be looked at

I didn't deserve to be cared about

I didn't deserve the compliments

I didn't deserve to be loved

But why I can't help but feel happy 

When you looked at me, when you cared

When I hear your compliments

When I felt loved

I didn't deserve it, I don't want to

Yet my heart is still yearning for more

Please make it stop, please don't

Please leave me alone, please wait

I can't but I want to

I can but I wouldn't

Wanting to curse myself as I let you drowned in me

And curse you for making me drawn to you

If only I'm egocentric

I want to be held by you

I'm longing for you

But I am not

There's a thin line I really can't cross

Frankly, the guilt within is killing me

Nevertheless, you keep me alive

Can't you see? I'm just an antagonist that needs to be defeated

I already know I'm the worse, no one can change that

This sin, maybe karma will haunt me after time

Am I ready? I don't think so

You didn't deserve me, I am sure

But if I wished on a meteorite to forgive me one thing

That I'll do but never regret

Want to embrace you until sunrise

And feel your warmth one last time

Bittersweet

Babe, how I love to hear this word came from your lips

Then I'll call you My Love, to make you feel that I am yours

Bittersweet, that's the title of our book

Bitter and sweet, why is this feeling making me out of control

Every time you brushed my hair, it makes me feel calm

Every time I hold your hand, I wished we can play all night

Staring at the blank streets, beside you felt special

Almost perfect, 'til I realized you were never mine

Tracing your face using the tip of my fingers

Then a crazy thought passed through my mind

If I kissed you, will it be okay?

Will the time stop for us or we should be the ones who need to stop?

Borrowed time is all that we got

Dreaming that one day, everything turned upside down

Just so you know, I'm on the verge of falling

But if I fall, would you be there waiting?

Find myself cursing the wind on a gloomy night

Asking why I didn't meet you beforehand

Maybe we were together, maybe we weren't

But at least taking risks was not restrained

I'm glad that I met you at the same time sad that I can't have you

Maybe we can be together, maybe we can't

Full of maybes but one thing I am certain

Being contented I think, that's the storyline of our tale

Bakit Hindi?

Sa bawat oras na kasama ka

Ako'y nabubuhay sa mundong puno ng lumbay at saya

At sa tuwing tumitingin sa iyong mga mata

Nais itanong, ganoon ka rin ba?

Matamis na mapait

Masarap pero masakit

Bakit naman kay hapdi

Pinapakinggang mga kantang para sa'kin

Kung pwede lang ang mga pinagbabawal

At ating tadhana'y hindi tututol

Kung papayagan lang ng pagkakataon

Bakit hindi? Bakit hindi.

Sampung Taludtod

Una,

Unang araw kitang nakita

Nakatanaw ako mula sa aking mesa

Dahil sa dilaw na ilaw, hindi ko maaninag ang iyong mukha

Kaya t-shirt na suot mo na lang ang tanging natandaan

Pangalawa,

Pangalawang beses na nang masilayan ka

Dahil mananatili ka na sa amin, di ko lang sigurado kung pansamantala o matagalan

Binati agad kita, pero wala akong nakuhang sagot

Hindi ko alam kung ika’y nahihiya kaya sinuri ko na lamang ang iyong mukha

Tatlo,

Tatlong segundo akong tumitig sayo

At nakuha agad ng mga mata mo ang atensyon ko

Kayumanggi kaya masarap titigan

Pero mukha kang suplado kaya huwag na lang

Apat,

Apat na beses na yata akong napapaisip kung ako ba ang magsisimula ng usapan

Nahihiya ako pero bahala na

Sinimulan ko sa tanong na “Kamusta ka?”

At mabuti naman ay sumagot ka na

Lima,

Hindi ko alam bakit pa patuloy akong nagbibilang

Siguro dahil sa lagpas limang tagay na ng alak nang mapagtripan tayo ng mga kasama

At magmula tuloy ng gabing iyon na di ko malilimutan

Tayo na ang naging bida sa mga asaran

Anim,

Siguro sa isang araw, anim na beses tayong tinatambal sa isa’t-isa

Pagkabukas ko pa lang ng pinto papasok, iyon na agad ang bumungad

Nagulat ako pero nakisabay sa agos

Lalo na nang makita kong ganoon ka rin at masaya naman ang lahat

Pito

Hindi ko alam kung bakit mahilig tayo sa laro

At di ko rin alam kung bakit tayo ang pinakapaborito

Dahil sa isang laro, parang naramdaman ko ang daplis ng iyong labi sa akin

Pito, pitong minuto kong inisip kung guni-guni ko lang ba iyon o talagang totoo

Walo

Sa tuwing alas-otso na kami umuuwi,

Palagi mo akong sinasabihang "Ingat ka," kadugtong ang aking pangalan

Masarap sa pandinig pero di mapigilang magsimula nang maguluhan

Hindi na alam kung saan lulugar sa pagitan ng totoo at mga biro

Siyam,

Siyan na araw na lang ang nalalabi bago matapos ang inyong kontrata

Ayoko, ayoko pang mawala ka dahil hirap man akong aminin sa sarili

Malulungkot ako, hindi sanay na wala ka

Kaya naman araw-araw na akong pumapasok para masulit habang nandiyan ka pa

Sampu,

Huling taludtod ko na pala, masyadong mahaba kaya tapusin ko na

Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan tayo ganito

Alam kong nakatayo ako sa gilid ng bangin ng walang kasiguraduhan

Ngunit gusto ko lang malaman mo, na masaya ako

Masaya ako sa oras na nakakausap ka

Masaya ako kapag kasama ka

Masaya ako kaya malaking pasasalamat ko na nakilala kita

Kismet

Every time our  eyes met

It felt surreal

I'm drowning when I looked at yours

Suffocating yet calming

Noticing your secret gazes

I just want to melt as I'm bothered by how I look or act

And each time you've complimented I

It's just that, why your medium is to make me feel special?

You're like an expensive and exquisite artwork

I really want to keep but can't

So if passing by every day just to see your beauty, it's okay

Maybe I'm just destined to be here on where am I

We're really unluckily lucky

Met at the wrong time maybe

But still, contented our path crossed

It's my pleasure to know you more

If ever fate was our comrade

Guess I already crossed the line

The barrier I'd made to keep the distance

Preventing self to stumble and fall
