Takipsilim

Pinadalhan mo ko ng litrato ng takipsilim

Ngumiti ako at sinabing ang ganda nito


Nung sumunod na araw nabalitaan ko ang iyong kasal

Natawa ako, dahil huli na nung napagtanto ko


Mas madaling magpadala ng litrato ng takipsilim

Kaysa sabihing "paalam, may minamahal na kong iba, giliw"

Isn't It Weird

Isn't it weird

how I put on repeat

all the songs that made me think of you, 

how I highlight every lines

of the books that decipher what I feel about you

how I create scenarios

in my head where you and I talk nonsense

how I put small details of us

in the stories I write that no one reads


Isn't it weird

how you mean this so much to me

yet cannot give you the love this world demands

how I knew I found something rare

yet being okay just knowing you are happy somewhere

how I felt the depth of your love

yet I named it something else, greater and beyond

how I shattered when I see you with someone else

yet knowing that's it's the price of the choice I made


Isn't it weird?
