Love Lines

Days are brighter
         when we're together.
Together with a Love
         that lasts forever...

_________________________________


You're my sun behind
         the pouring rain.
Crazy as it may seem
         but you're all that I dream!

___________________________
Mornings, oh!
         How excited I am to see!
Sunshine's gleaming,
         So full of love and glee!

Far away from
         each other
Yet distance
         can't separate us.

Solitary?

I feel so hopeless
I feel so helpless
I feel so left behind
I feel so cold inside

My love's gone
Friends, too, are gone.
Am I born to be a loner
And stay there at the corner?

They're leaving me
So far way from me
Can't help but cry
While my heart slowly dies...

Dream

Live a life that is full of dreams... Dreams that someday will become real. But, don't just dream, fantasize or imagine. Do something to turn them into realities. Achieve them with a heart filled with determination, overflowing with eagerness to make it at the top of your goals. Search every cornerstone where you'll find strength, courage,perseverance, hope... and do always remember that there is someone up there looking at you; guiding you in every way, in every path you take, God.

Start the change

Treat the other person as you treat yourself because the other person is also yourself.

I'm starting to change now, for a better me. I hope that others, you, will do the same. H'wag kang magyabang dahil lang sa akala mong ikaw ay magaling. be humble as much as you can. kung meron kang hindi nakaintindihan have the initiative to make the move, seek the person, have a talk. H'wag mong hintaying sya pa 'yung magpakumbaba. be friendly as much as you can. learn to be in love with loving other people beyond your circle, not only with the people within it, and of course with God.

Change or Delete? NEITHER

If you were given a chance to change or delete a certain point, moment, in your life, what would it be? How would you change it? Why would you delete it? Do you think if you'd do that you'd still be the same as you are today?
Well, chances are no. You'd never be the same again as you are today if you would change/delete that certain point in your life. If you're disappointed with it, then correct it! But you can never go back to change it.
I had a lot of regrets in my life. Those moments in my life that I can never go back to change it nor to delete it. You see, life is too short. Yes, it is. And we have to face the reality of it. It's too short for worrying. A second in our life can change everything. Every single move and word can change everything.
Every decision we make leads us to our destiny. If you choose to be good then you'll be. If you choose to have happy life then you'll have a happy life. But, don't just choose, DO IT. Do what you choose.

a poem that i haven't named

there she is. that tall, thin, weird girl.
who would believe that she has a broken heart?
no one would think that she has been drowning in tears
'cause she's just a simple girl
'cause you'll never see it
her face is always lit up with a smile
although there are tears in her eyes as she sleeps at night

she's a witty one, a clever mind she has
she knows how to hide her ultimate sorrows in life
she knows what mask to wear in every show of everyday
she can escape from the realities of life
and then she elapses to her own world of music

people find her odd
she grins then suddenly frowns
some say she's affable
she's approachable in times you need help

you wouldn't see her cry unless you look inside her eyes
eyes looking for someone to wipe her tears
maybe then you'll have a sneak at her heart
a heart that she keeps on fixing as it breaks
'til now it's still falling into pieces
she keeps on fixing it but it still keeps on breaking

some people despise her when she suddenly sings a country song
its her way of letting go of her concealed feeling
sometimes she sings gleefully though she's sad
just to hide what she really feels inside

you'll never know when shes blissful or miserable
cause she often alters her views in life
sometimes she just want to die
then she wants to exist forever

she has gone through so many trials in life
but it seems that she hasn't learned any lesson in each chapter
shes often chaotic
the way she writes, everything...

Forgetting and Reminiscing

My mind wants to forget you
   'cause I think it's the best way to ease the pain

But my heart contradicts
   'cause it's still you and memories of you that keeps it alive

Forgetting you is killing me

Living everyday without you
   makes me wish to die

It makes me weaker and weaker
   and weaker

Reminiscing those moments
   happy moments with you
   makes me smile
   but it's hurt that I try hide

How I wish, I never had met you

But I would not have felt love
   if I never knew you
