Hilaga't Kanluran

Sadyang magkaiba ang ating mundo.

Hindi ko alam pano magkakasundo.

Hindi man lang magkatagpo.

Ako ba'y may karapatang magtampo?

Sa hilaga ka at ako'y sa kanluran?

Papayag nalang bang mapaglaruan?

Ng tadhanang kailanma'y hindi nakiayon

Kahit idaan pa sa hinahon.

Nanalig na lamang sa mga binitawang salita

Ngunit di batid kung may kabuluhan pa ba?

Waring tatakas na lamang kasama ng hangin.

Na walang anumang habilin.

The Flight

The sepia pages were comforting, I thought. It was a rewind button in my cassette player.

As the lamp casts its light, my eyes flickered somewhere between sensibility and surrealism.

I drifted away like a sailboat in midair. The sound blew me away. With eyes closed, I searched its origin. Your heart and soul lingered in the air waves. It was hypnotic. Every chord you hit was a statement I never comprehended. I never did, for it knows no reason. My sailboat danced carelessly to your melody. Like a child I swayed. Like a child I hummed. You froze, until you turned your head. The brilliance of your eyes faded as you stared at me. I was suddenly regretful.

A familiar aroma infiltrated my senses that brought me back to my chair. The sepia pages still lie in front of me, luring me. I immediately stood and mustered all the strength left in me. Though my knees were shaking I managed to run away from it. Never again, shall I play its game.

Abiso kay Tadhana

Sapat na ba...

na mangapa na lamang sa mapag laro mong lirika?

na maki-indak sa ningning ng iyong mata?

Ako'y minsan ng nawala sa aking hinagap.

Nang hindi sinasadyang may umakap.

Oh tadhana..sadyang ika'y mapaglaro.

Kailangan pa ba akong magsumamo.

Na huwag mo na akong muling dalhin.

Sa isang lugar na puro lamang hiling.

So yeah....

Someone Like You

-Adele

I heard, that your settled down.
That you, found a girl and your married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lie.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited.
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over.

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best, for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah.

You'd know, how the time flies.
Only yesterday, was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summery haze.
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over yet.

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead", yay.

Nothing compares, no worries or cares.
Regret's and mistakes they're memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yay yeh yeah
