Goodbye

I wish you well.

This is the only thing I can say as we loose sight of each other in the parting paths.

Remember when I told you that people will soon go after you? They do now. Without me. And you are happy. So I wish you well.

Remember when you asked me to pursue what I believe in? I do now. Without you. And I am happy. So wish me well too.

You found the person that you intend to spend the rest of your life with. I wish this is love. So you will be happy. I therefore wish you well.

I found the person that I am willing to spend the rest of my life with. He is Love. I never thought to be this happy. So wish me well too.

We finally parted, walking through divergent paths without looking back.

You are finally out of my sight, for our paths are running through separate, wider spaces, not intending to cross again.

Goodbye.

Not for now. But for good.

Telon

Nagsasara na ba ang telon? O lumiliwanag lamang ang entablado?

Bakit hindi inaasahan ng mga nagsasayahang artista ang pagpikit ng kamera?

Bakit nagulat ang mga nagagalak na mga manonood?

Ano ba ang sabi sa linya?

Nasaan na ba ang Direktor at tila nawala na ang Kanyang kumpas?

Nagtago ba siya sa likod ng tabing? O naghahanda lamang ng supresang palatuntunan?

Nangangamba na ang mga artista.

Naguguluhan na ang mga manonood.

Mayroon bang susunod na akto?

O magsasara na ang tanghalan?

Hindi ako naniniwalang tapos na.

Isa lang itong palabas.

O isa lang itong palabas na pinaloob sa isa pang palabas.

Lalabas din ang Direktor,

At hindi Niya pababayaang mapihaya ang mga artista

O biguin ang mga manonood.

Dahil siya ang Direktor.

Unpleasant Surprise

Just when I thought everything is going to fine from now on, I saw you.

I keep on telling myself I am happy now, and that you are part of a distant past that will never recur.

And yes, you are light years away, and yes, your star won't shine down on me anymore.

But why do I still keep on staring at you?

You were my star, you were my light, you were mine - at least in my playful thoughts.

Now the mere sight of your smile breaks my newly found happiness into pieces.

Without even you knowing, without even me knowing why.

Can you please hide into the clouds forever?

I do not want to see you anymore

And I do not want myself to be seen

At least not now, not in the near future

Not when I should already be happy with someone else.

Tama Na

Doesn't matter how sad I made you. Doesn't matter how hard I try. Just remember the same old reason reflected in your eyes you said you wanted me.

Graduate na ako sa pagiging Goodnight Girl. Hindi ko alam kung paano nangyari at bigla na lamang lumitaw ang isang tao na mahal na mahal ako. Hindi ko siya hiningi, hindi ko siya inakit. Sa katanuyan, pinamukha ko sa kanya ang lahat ng kapangitan ko. Pinakita ko sa kanya ang lahat katangahan ko. Pinalanghap ko sa kanya ang lahat ng kabulukan ko. At doon niya ako minahal nang paulit-ulit.

Panahon na talaga siguro upang mabuo ako ulit. Sapat na ang kalungkutan ng nakaraan. Isasarado ko na ang pinto ng kwartong nag-iimbak ng mga inaamag na alaala. Susubukan ko naman ngumiti. Susubukan ko muling maniwala sa pag-ibig.

Strong Enough

God, I feel like hell tonight

Tears of rage I cannot fight

I'd be the last to help you understand

Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right

So let me be alone tonight

'Cause you can't change the way I am

Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me

I promise I believe

Lie to me

But please, don't leave

I have a face I cannot show

I make the rules up as I go

Just try and love me if you can

Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I've shown you that I just don't care

When I'm throwing punches in the air

When I'm broken down and I can't stand

Will you be man enough to be my man?

Laya

Malayo na ako.
Limang araw na.
Ngunit kipkip ko pa rin ang lumang librong may pulang dahon.

Malaya na ba ako?
Dapat limang araw na.
Ngunit bakit kipkip ko pa rin ang lumang librong may pulang dahon?

Malayo na ako.
Limang gabi na.
Ngunit hindi ko pa rin binbuklat ang bagong librong may Pamaskong sulat.

Malaya na ba ako?
Dapat limang araw na.
Ngunit bakit hindi ko pa rin binubuklat ang bagong librong may Pamaskong sulat?

Malayo ka na.
Isang taon na.

Malaya na dapat ako.
Isang taon na.

Bakit hindi pa rin kita mapalayo?
Bakit hindi pa rin ako makalaya?

Sana

Sana talaga, kaya kong mabuhay mag-isa.

Sana, may mapatunayan ako sa sarili ko sa mga darating na araw.

Sana, may mapuntahan lahat ng pinupuhunan ko.

Sana, paakyat pa lang ako at hindi palugmok na.

Sana talaga, maabot ko na ang mga pangarap ko.
