A Prayer

2006-02-16T17:27:00.000-08:00

Part I (A Prayer - Gratitude)

Dear Lord,

I kneel in front of you
Glorifying and praising you.
I thank you
for your countless blessings
and for all the kindness
that is overflowing.

Amidst all the hardships
dear Lord,
I thank you for taking me
always into your arms.

Amidst all trials and challenges,
between rejection and disappointment,
your merciful arms
lifted me up from my loneliness.

My God,
I thank you
for each day that I am alive,
for a bright morning
because of sunlight,
and for a refreshing day ahead of my life.

I thank you
for all the luxuries of life,
for the possessions and most especially
for taking me out of strife.

I thank you
for every mistake I’ve committed
and learned that life is worth living
despite all the disappointments.

I thank you
for all the people around me,
for the daily joy and happenings,
and for making my day
always worth remembering.

I thank you
for making me valiant and tough,
at the same time for giving me
a heart that is capable to love.

I thank you
for tracing smile on my face
and for putting a rainbow
after every crying.

I thank you
for giving me pals around,
to guide me and make me feel loved and cared
and for making me happy
because of the love they shared.

I thank you
that I have a house and a home.
I thank you that I don’t feel hunger,
because foods are ample
everywhere.

I thank you
that I have my family
beside me.
A family that is always there,
constantly and unselfishly
showing me that they care.
A family I treasure the most,
who brings me back to life
when I am almost lost.

I thank you
for giving me special someone beside me,
whom I’ll live with and grow old with,
whose arms will always wrap around me
and whose heart will always love me.

Most of all,
I thank you
for giving me the most valuable gift.
Thank you
for giving me a precious angel.
The reason of my existence
and the fruit of all my endurance.

KAPAG NAG-IISA

2005-11-06T23:08:00.001-08:00

Kapag nag-iisa,
bumabalik ang mga alaala
nating dalawa.
Alaala ng pag-ibig na nabalot
ng saya at lungkot.

Kapag nag-iisa,
muling nanunumbalik
ang init ng iyong halik
at muling nalalasap
ang higpit ng iyong yakap.

Kapag nag-iisa,
di ko mapigil ang pagtulo ng mga luha
sa aking mga mata,
sapagkat sariwa pa sa aking isipan
ang pait ng iyong paglisan.

Kapag nag-iisa,
muling binubuo ang mga piraso
ng mga pangarap natin, giliw ko,
na maglalakbay ng magkaagapay
kahit pa abutin sa kabilang buhay.

Kapag nag-iisa,
nabubuhay ang iyong pangako
na habang buhay ay ako
ang laman ng puso’t isip mo
at mamahalin ng higit pa sa buhay mo.

Kapag nag-iisa,
unti unting dinudurog ang puso ko
kapag natatanaw na magkasama kayo,
magkahawak ang kamay at maligaya
tanda na ako’y tuluyang nilumot mo na.

Kapag nag-iisa,
ako’y lubos na nagsisisi
sa aking pagkakamali,
at sa iyo’y nagsusumamo
na gawaran ng patawad mo.

Kapag nag-iisa,
doon ko na lang maaaring sambitin
na mahal na mahal kita.
Ikaw pa rin ang laman ng puso ko
di magbabago kahit pumanaw man ako.

Kapag nag-iisa,
pinipilit maging masaya
kahit puso ko’y nagdurusa.
Kumakapit pa rin sa pag-asangbalang araw ika’y babalik pa
kahit puso mo’y pag-aari na ng iba.

KAHAPONG LUMIPAS

2005-10-04T01:28:00.000-07:00

Tinangay ng malamig na hangin
ang pag-ibig mo sa akin.
Kasabay inagos ng tubig sa iloga
ng pagsinta mo aking irog.

Nawalan ng halimuyak
mga bulaklak mong alay,
kasunod ay ang pagtingin
mong wala nang kulay.

Lumipad palayo sa akin
ang iyong halakhak,
At ang tangin nakakarinig
ay ang alapaap.

Binura ng panahon
mga pangako mo sa akin.
Unti unting kumupas
pagmamahalan nating angkin.

Galit ang maririnig sa bibig
mongdati’y matamis manalita,
wala nang ngiti o bakas ng saya
sa maamo mong mukha.

Dati’y ngalan ko ang sinasambit
ng iyong mga labi,
At sa puso mo ngayon
ay may kahati.

Nilimot ng panahon
mga araw nating kay saya,
at ngayon bakas ang lungkot
at buhay ko’y nangungulila.

May lamat na ang pag-ibigna
dati’y kay tibay,
at sa mga pagsubok ng buhay
ngayon di na ikaw ang kaagapay.

Kasing tagal ng pagtigil ng ulan
ang pagluha ng aking mga mata.
Kasing haba ng magdamag
ang tuluyang paglimot sa iyo sinta.

Ikaw at ang pag-ibig mo
ay tuluyan ng gumuho
at lahat ay masilbing
alaalang kahapong lumipas.

Sa paglubog ng araw mahal ko
isasama ko ang pag-ibig sa puso ko.
Upang sa muli nitong pagsikat
ay makapagsimula ng panibagong
pahina ng buhay ko
at magsilbing tanda na ikaw ay
tuluyang nilimot ko na…

LETTING GO

2005-07-28T19:53:00.000-07:00

We said goodbye for some time now
But I can’t forget you, please tell me how?
Memories of you keep coming back
I can’t help but to reminisce the past.
There was sadness in your face when you left me
And your teary eyes were telling me “I’m sorry.”
You held my hand and kissed it gently
“I will miss you!” were words you whispered softly.
Tears tumbled from my eyes before you walk away
you looked at me, embraced me and said
“You’ll be in my heart everyday.”
As I stand in the dark and watched you stride
there was pain in my heart and I cried hard.
You caused me grief and anguish that’s why you left
but your kindness and sweetness I kept.
I still cling to the happy memories you left behind
your words and compassionwon’t fade in my heart and mind.
Your mistakes are not important to me
what matters is the Love, You and Me.
How could I totally let go of someone like you
who once let me feel a love that was true.
As I close my eyes at night before I went to sleep
I hold my pillows tight and my heart still weeps.
I embrace the thoughts of you coming back to me
but your foot prints went far away from me.
I let you go and this time its really goodbye
and may the wind take this feelings away from me,
and bring it up high in the sky….

NOONG SIMPLE PA ANG MUNDO

2005-07-25T22:23:00.000-07:00

Noong simple pa ang mundo,
payapang namumuhay ang mga tao
malinis ang paligid, walang away, walang gulo.
May pag-ibig, kapayapaan at pagbibigayan,
walang inggit, walang takot at pag-aalinlangan.

Noong simple pa ang mundo,
Luntian ang kulay ng kapaligiran
at bughaw naman ang bakas ng kalangitan.
Ang mga bundok ay hitik sa puno at bunga,
Salat sa kalat, walang basura at bihira ang baha.

Noong simple pa ang mundo,
kay daming isda sa karagatan ay lumalangoy
walang dumi o basurang animoy nanaghoy.
Sama samang lumilipad ang mga ibon sa himpapawid
na parang mga angel na nagsisipag awit.

Noong simple pa ang mundo,
sa paligid ay naglalakbay ang sariwang hangin
at ang mga batang naglalaro ay kay sarap tanawin.
Ang buhay ay parang munting paraiso
at di kailanman ipagpapalit sa kahit na ano.

Ito ay dahil noon, simple pa ang mundo,
di tulad ngayon na napaka-komplikado.
Nagayo’y kay dami nang sa paligid ay binago
kung kaya’t pati ang tao ay nagbago.

Maitutring pa bang isang kayaman
ang dating mala-paraisong kapaligiran?
O magsisilbi na lamang na magandang alaala
sa ating puso’t isipan ang isang kahapong kay ganda?

BECAUSE THERE WAS YOU

2005-05-25T23:53:00.000-07:00

When I was in despair
and life seemed so unfair,
you were there beside me,
you protected and comforted me.

When I wanted to cry because of pain
you told me not to be insane.
You talked of nice things
and told me that life is worth living.

When I was angry and mad,
you find ways to make me laugh.
You never argue or fight
then things will be all right.

When I was bothered and preoccupied,
you made me feel that in you I can confide.
You shared with me your wisdom
and there’s no problem I can’t overcome.

When you saw in me traces of loneliness,
and tears were about to fall because of sadness,
you drew a smile in my face
and imparted memories that can’t be erase.

When there’s no one I can hold on to,
and friends became untrue,
you stayed by my side
and guided my soul in a world so wide.

When you felt that I am frail or weak,
you never blow your own horn rather you remain meek.
You gave a hug that’s loving and soothing,
and a few strong words that were all inspiring.

When I lose hope and fell on my knees,
you extended a hand and lifted me.
You gave a tap and said “cheer up!”
”Life is beautiful…never give up!”

When you noticed that there was a great change in my life,
you never left me, you hang around and still stayed by my side.
The more you taught me to face life’s challenges,
because in the end the big prize is happiness.

Life became easy and simple because there was you,
and the lessons I’ve learned were all efforts of you.
You pushed me closer not only to your heart but to Him,
thank you and all the things you’ve shared are worth remembering!

SILANG MGA BATA

2005-05-15T19:15:00.000-07:00

Maraming bata sa kaldasa ang palaboy
walang makain,
walang tirahan,
walang damit,
walang magulang,
kaya walang nagmamahal.
Kaya’t sa kanilang mukha’y
walang ngiting nakapinta…

Ilan ba sa kanila ang ninakawan ng bukas?
Ilan sa kanila ang inaabuso,
minamaltrato,
kinakastigo,
binubulyawan,
pinapahirapan,
umiiyak,
nagmamakaawa,
kaya’t sa kanilang mga mata’y
bakas ang lungkot at takot sa buhay.

Musmos pa lamang sila
ay banat na ang buto sa trabaho.
Ang ilay ay namamalimos,
nagtitinda,
nagpapa-alipin,
nasa ilalim ng sindikato,
nagnanakaw,p
ero ang perang kanilang kinikita
di naman sa bulsa nila napupunta.

Silang mga bata dapat ay naglalaro,
nagsasaya,
inaaruga,
tinuturauan ng asal,
inaalalayan.
Dapat sila ay binubusog sa pagmamahal
at hindi dapat na sinasaktan.

Di mabilang ang mga bata sa lansangan
na dapat ay nasa paaralan
nag-aaral,
kumakanta,
sumasayaw,
naglalaro.
Sila na dapat ay may matibay na pundasyon
at binibigyan ng magandang kinabukasan.

Ilan sa mga paslit na ito ay kilala ang ating Diyos
na siyang dahilan kung bakit tayo may buhay.
Ilan sa kanila ang marunong magsimba,
magdasal,
humingi ng tawad pag nagkasala,
magpasalamat kapag may biyaya?
Hindi nila alam
dahil sa isip nila nakatanim na sila ay nag-iisa.

Marami sa mga bata ngayon ay patapon na ang buhay.
Lulong sa masamang bisyo,
sangkot sa mga gulo.
Ang ilan kahit sa murang edad
ay nagbebenta ng lamanpara mabuhay.
Kahit may pagkakataon,
ang ilan ay ayaw magbago
dahil nakaukit sa puso nilana sila ay walang kwenta
dahil sa kanila’y walang nagmamahal.

Ilang mga magulang ang naging pabaya?
Mga magulang na dapat ay
matibay na sandigan,
karamay,
kaibigan
at pamilya…
pero ang ilan ang siyang naging dahilan
kaya’t marami sa mga kabataanay bigo sa buhay,
naligaw ng landas,
at mahina ang kalooban…

Silang mga bata…

Na may halakhak na kay sarap pakinggan,
na may tinig na animo’y huni ng anghel sa kalangitan,
na may mukhang masarap titigan,
na may anyong nakakagiliw na yakapin…

Silang mga bata na dapat ay nilalasap
ang magandang pamana ng ating buhay
dahil sila higit kanino manang may karapatan
dahil sila ang may pinakamalakas na tinig.
Sila ang yaman at pag-asa ng bawat pamilya
at ng buong sandaigdigan.

THE RAGE OF MAN

2005-05-13T19:02:00.000-07:00

When your life turned out to be a trash,
you lose direction in a sudden flash.
You turned away from Him,
all by yourself and live a life in dim.

You never look back from where you started,
and never recollect the good times you’ve shared.
You never remember the prayers He answered,
and never count the blessings He showered.

You thought He had forsaken you.
And took away your riches too.
You intuited He made you miserable,
and stole those instances that were enjoyable.

You believed He gave you castigation,
because you left Him and lose your conviction?
You considered He became so unfair,
because you see abundant happiness everywhere.

You felt He had abandoned you,
because you discerned you became untrue.
You refrained to call on Him when you’re in need,
and you stand firm with your words and deeds.

You neglected to trust Him when you’re in trouble,
and turned away when He catches you every time you fall.
You ignored the many times He lets you feel He’s near,
and closed your eyes when He conquers your fear.

You hated Him because you don’t have a place called home,
and cried too hard coz you have nothing to call your own.
You despised Him because your life has no meaning,
and blamed Him for all your sufferings.

You judged His love because of your weaknesses,
and lose your hope when you felt bitterness.
Your faith fainted when life became arduous,
and became hopeless when destiny was worst.

But some times in your life you should take time out,
and erase all your fears and doubts,
you can turn your back and walk in His ways,
and live your life with Him just like the old days.

You will realize that He never turns away from you
He is just hanging around watching over you!
He is so close to listen to your words
And His arms are wide open because He is a good Lord….

YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW

2005-05-10T02:04:00.000-07:00

Yesterday

Yesterday was just a dream.
A dream of us being together forever…
A moment full of vision and idealism…
A time of shared hopes, fantasies and intentions.
A time for reminisced achievements and failures.
And the desire for happiness and love.

Today

Today the dream is transformed into reality.
We no longer dream to be one
Because we made the promise of a lifetime.
The vision is clear. The idealism is real.
Our hopes are filled.
Our fantasies turned real life.
Our intentions increased.
We are proud for the fruits of our effort.
And most of all we learned…
We are happy because we found true love.
But the dreaming never ends…

Tomorrow

Tomorrow we will still have dreams…
More dreams…happier dreams…
Tomorrow our hair will turn gray
But still we hold each other’s hands.
Tomorrow will be a new dream, clearer vision.
Tomorrow we will still hope
We will strive harder
We will be stronger, we will be firm.
Tomorrow everything will be beautiful
Because together we continue to
journey life’s meaning…

UNTITLED

2005-05-08T02:02:00.000-07:00

I heard your voice in the stillness of the night,
As I haunt where it was coming,
I discerned that it was from nowhere.
I behold the likeness of your feature with a sneer outside the darkness.
And as I run to embrace you
I saw myself with no one near me.

I harkened you hum the music that captured my heart.
And as I sing with you,
I recognized a single voice, not yours but mine.

Tonight, I still can feel the
Tightness of your hug.
I can still distinguish the sweetness of your kiss
And the gentleness of your touch.
The different emotions of craving for the nights
of boundless sensuality never fades
and it’s always there…so alive.

I yelled your name repeatedly.
The echo from the emptiness of silence
Was the only answer I’ve got.
The frigid wind continues to strike.
That made me feel you’re around.
You allowed the wind whisper in my ears that you still love me.
But I was bewildered by the fact that you’re not around.

I received an impression of your passionate presence.
The tears that tumbled from my eyes,
And the quietness that superimpose my room
Made me realized that you no longer exist in this reality.
I know you are the most beloved gift I had received.
I admitted the truth that you’re in bliss with HIM in paradise.

I know you’re always close to me.
You’re just watching me and endlessly loving me.
I know you’re always listening.
I LOVE YOU!
You’re forever alive in me…
No one can ever put back the wonderful love you shared and gave me.
Cause you’re the only one in my heart!

THE RAIN

2005-05-08T01:58:00.000-07:00

It’s raining outside
and I was standing near the window.
Finding every shadow
roaming around the place.

Every drop reminds me of you.
Every sound that hits the ground
reveals the emptiness inside me.
Every pour makes me yearn so much of you.

Every raindrop is every tear
that falls from my eyes.
And as it gets heavy,
I begin to feel the hurt inside me.

Every raindrop is a heartache.
Every pouring is regret.
And the moisture in the window glass where I stand
is every scar left by many wounds.

As the rain slowly stopped,
your image immediately faded.
Silence enveloped my room
and the only thing I heard were echoes
of laughters and cries.

As it pours heavy again,
my heart beats fast,
heating up my anger
and breaking me into pieces.

I shouted to relieve the pain
but nobody seemed to care.
The soft blow of the wind embraced me,
and the midnight dew seemed to be fragrance of you.

I closed my eyes
and smiled in my solace.
I see traces of you…but not the real you!
And as I opened my eyes,
I then believe that you’re no longer here with me!

I AM HERE FOR YOU

2005-05-05T21:52:00.000-07:00

It’s not all the time that there is a cheery day.
Sadness, failures, grief will surely cross your way.
And if you feel you’re always by yourself.
Remember, I am here just beside you!

If you feel your world is roofed by sorrow,
Look into my eyes and you’ll see
There’s a brilliant tomorrow.

If suddenly you walk through darkness
Do not fear. Be calm. Just walk.
There will be a light towards happiness.
A light meant only for you.

If you sense all your friends turn away from you
Hold my hands. Hold it tight
I am here, I wont leave you.

If you cry and wants to shout out your anger,
Shout loud until it reaches heaven.
But hey, utter a little prayer
And your burden will be lessen.

If you think everyday is a stormy day.
And your life is full of rainy days
Don’t you worry, I will be your shelter
I’ll shield you with songs of comfort.

If you don’t believe in yourself
Because other people criticize you,
Open your eyes because there is someone
Who appreciates you.

If you feel that no one is beside you,
That nobody believes in you,
And no soul seems to care,
Look around and I am here for you.

And if you leave to search yourself
And pick every piece of you,
Don’t hesitate to draw closer
I’ll take you with my arms open.

Our life seems so short my dear,
And later the day will turn into night.
The morning will soon arrive
And a new sun will shine.

Don’t fear of growing old alone
Smile, for I will always be your home.
I am here for you
Because I Love You!

CHEATING MYSELF

2005-05-02T22:46:00.000-07:00

You will be in confusion
Or maybe you will wonder why?
How much I am irritated to you.
To say that you’re just there
And I’m right here
Makes me think why?
Why do chances never gave way
For us to be close?
Or Even good friends?
We’re just near and yet
I feel were mountains apart.
And when we cross way,
We’re more than strangers.
As the days slip away,
I found time to ask myself.
DOES HE LIKES ME?
I heard no answer.
We catched stares
And walked through the street
You never opened your lips to say something.
or even bother to ask anything.
There is something in you
Which is more than mystery.
I want to uncover it
And discover reality.
I don’t want to see you
But my eyes longed to see your smile.
I don’t want to hear your voice but I miss the way you laugh.
I really don’t understand what I feel.
I want to hate you
But you’ve done nothing wrong to me.
I want to dislike you
But when I hear people criticize you
I started to worry.
I know you don’t care for me.
But why do I feel this way?
Do I have the right?
There’s no intimate relationship between us
though I crave sometimes.
I know I’ll be a fool
To say that I hate you
Only to hide what I feel
And only to cheat myself.
For the only thing I know
Is because I’ve fallen in love with you …
But you will never know
For you don’t give a damn
And you don’t care at all !!!

SECOND CHANCE

2005-04-30T22:39:00.000-07:00

Now we’re living our separate lives,
do I still have the right to call you mine?
Am I still permitted to call you honey?
or am I still allowed to show I care?

I know how foolish I am
for still loving you
after the strings are now unattached.
All the while I though it was the best thing.
but actually, it was the opposite.
WORST!!!
I MISS YOU!!!

Now it hurts me a lot
because we’re once sweethearts
but every time we cross roads we’re more than strangers.

We let misunderstandings and misinterpretations killed the relationship we once build.
Deep in my heart
I know that I still love you.
So I have to swallow my pride and ask you for a SECOND CHANCE
Because I realized that I can’t live without you.
and I don’t want to lose you!!!

Do I have to cry
and kneel in front of you?
Or repeatedly utter the words I LOVE YOU?
I hope you will again entrust the key of your heart to me.
if not, I am here knocking at your door,
sincerely saying the long longed words,
Honey, I STILL LOVE YOU!!!

IF EVER

2005-04-28T22:53:00.000-07:00

If ever there will come a time
that you’ll knock on my door,
I’ll open it without hesitation
and I’ll let you come in.

If ever there will be a second chance
I’ll let you feel the love I failed to show.
I will call you more often than everyday.
I want to hear your voice
I want to know if you sleep well
Or if you eat well.

If you ever you feel I’m cold, I’ll be sweeter.
I’ll care for you. I’ll keep you warm.
I’ll kiss you, I’ll hug you.
And I’ll never let you go.

If ever you’ll say I love you
I’ll never hesitate to answer I love you too.
I’ll say it not just once, twice or thrice but
A hundred times.

If ever you’ll hold my hands
I’ll hold yours tight. I’ll hold it firm until
You feel that I need you.

If ever you feel that we’re apart,
I’ll make a bridge.
I’ll open lines of communication
To be always near.

If ever you feel so alone,
I’ll be there for you…I’ll reach you.
We will be two bodies with one heart…
With one soul…

If ever we talk and you ask me how I feel?
I wont say nothing…I’ll tell you everything.
I’ll tell you my anger.
That I am hurt and I cried a lot.

If ever there will be silence,
I’ll break it by singing you a song…
A song that will help you realize that I am true…
That I really love you…
And I missed you a lot when you leave me…

If ever you’ll ask me where to go
I’ll tell you to bring me to a place
Where there is silence…
Where we can talk a lot about ourselves.
And see the rising and setting of the sun.

If ever we’ll see each other again
I’ll let you look into my eyes
And see the tears falling
I’ll let you feel that you hurt me
And losing you is so painful.

If ever we’ll love each other again,
And feel doubt about me,,,
I’ll say…trust me…
Have faith in me…

And if ever you’ll grant me this second time
I will love you more than before…
More than anything else.
More than myself!!!!

HE

2005-04-24T21:48:00.000-07:00

He who played the music that captured my heart,
He who sings the song of love.
He who opens my day with a hello
He who ends it with I Love You!

He who adds flavor to my life,
He who lets me taste the spice of existence.
He who shares the joy through his laughter,
He who makes me feel blue with our petty quarrels.

He who brought me sweetness,
He who lifts me up from my loneliness.
He who understands when I am rude,
He who is used to my swing of moods.

He who caused me a few depression,
He who brightens my every confusion.
He who respects the decision I make,
He who supports the things I undertake.

He who teaches me how to dream,
He who erased all my fears.
He who listens when I speak,
He who speaks words of wisdom when I am weak.

He who laughs when I crack jokes,
He who corrects me when I am wrong.
He who makes things easy when they are hard,
He who helps me view things in life.

He who cares when the situation is unclear,
He who reminds me that he’s always near.
He who calms me down when I felt anger
He who slows things when they are faster.

He who pours his love,
And from his love I learned to trust.
He who became a part of my life,
For he occupied the biggest space in my heart.

He who adds color to my every deed,
And he became my inspiration to live.
He who tickles my senses,
He who kissed me with tenderness.

He who I thought would keep the love alive,
But he who broke my fragile heart.
He who puts tears in my eyes,
He who traced in my face a smile.

He who sets me free,
Because he was the man who hurt me.
He who defines what is love,
He who taught me how to love.
Above all, he who made me know that
love is not only in the mind,
He made me realized
that it is here in my heart!

FOOL’S FEELING

2005-04-22T22:31:00.000-07:00

Out of nowhere you came.
Out of nothing I felt something.
Your voice sounds innocent as a child.
And you know what?
It captured my heart.
This sounds crazy, isn’t it?
We talked only for hours
And strangers truly we are.
Would you believe if I say
You tickled my heart?
I’ve created features of you in my illusion.
And associate traits of you through my confusion.
I picture you handsome and kind
But miserable I became
When you uttered that a space
In your heart was already occupied.

Right after the moment we talked,
I asked question that has been unanswered.
“What is this invisible thing in my life that I look at?”
“What is this incomprehensible thing that I find hard to understand?”
Am I talking about love?
Or simply day dreaming?
Call me a fool, stupid or weird
For easily loving someone unfamiliar to me.

A fool lover you may call me
Coz I felt this crazy thing the first time.
For saying that I held you
But through my fantasy.
In this tranquility of night allow me to share how I feel.
Open your ears, listen…
And I’ll tell you that…

May be because it is how gentle you speak
That you’ve beaten my weary heart.
May be because it is how sincere your words reflect that you’ve made my lonely heart smile.
Maybe because it is through your hidden charm that made me almost escape reality
And almost stop the pain
For you start playing the music that once captured my heart.

Truly I have no regrets
When I took the chance
Of spending time
Conversing with you.
Though in very short span of time,
I know I have a lot to thank you
Coz you “yourself” became love who touched my soul
And keep it from understanding that
Love is the greatest gift of all.

FOREVER FRIENDS

2005-04-18T19:45:00.000-07:00

Dear friend of mine sit by my side,
Here near the stones where flowers lied.
Sit near to me so we can count,
Those stars that spark when night come out.

Come on let’s walk on different roads,
With arms together and face the world.
Look up to the sky and hear the birds sing,
The same thing I’ll do when problems cling.

See with your sight those mountains high,
Look down to the ocean as the waters go by.
There’s many joy we have to give,
As we journey the world and as we live.

Let’s stop and look the start of dawn,
And wait until the sun is shown.
Take a seat near the sea were fishes were born
And wait until the sun go home.

See the flowers dance and birds fly a distance,
And feel the wind passes by in a glance.
Let’s count our footprints on the sand,
That leads our feet to the everlasting land.

We will never part ways even the world comes to an end,
Even the land cracks and trees go bend.
But if all these crazy things will happen,
PROMISE! We will still be FOREVER FRIENDS up there in heaven.

Don’t cry my friend if the time comes I’ll leave you,
Just pray for me and in your face wear a smile.
This is the truth, this is a reality,
This isn’t goodbye coz we’ll be together in heaven eternally!

Let’s be happy because we are still here,
No matter what happen…through thick and thin.
PROMISE! You and I will be together forever
And always, we will be the best of FRIENDS FOREVER!

I LOVE YOU

2005-03-26T18:46:00.000-08:00

On the first time I saw you,
An unusual feeling I had for you.
A feeling that was disturbed,
At the same time, a feeling that was excited.

I can’t control myself in looking at you,
I can’t control myself in thinking of you.
I always wanted to see you,
I always wanted to dream of you.

I really want you to be close to me,
But how could we coz you’re snobbish to me.
I am the one who really loves you,
But the question is…do you love me too?

Why is it that day after day,
On my mind your name stays,
I care a damn lot for you,
Coz the reason is I love you!

This is the first time I feel this way,
So please be near and stay.
The only thing I hope you’ll do,
Is to tell to me…I love you, too!

I’ve waited so long
that until now
I am waiting.
When will this
stupid thing end?
I’m doing this not because of any other reasons
But because I LOVE YOU!
I know you understand
That I’m only human
And I’m getting’ tired.
Am I only a friend to you?
Or the girl you secretly love?
If so, then tell me
That you do…
But when? Please tell me.
Is it today or tomorrow?
I hope very soon
Coz if not…
Then it will be too late…
