It's a Tiring Day, But It's Okay

Hindi nalang didilat
para di maliwanagan.
Hahayaang tunaw ang puso
para di na mapakinabangan.
Tumuloy man ang oras
sa kanyang nakagawian.
Mundo ko’y mananatiling nakatigil
para ‘yong maabutan.

I would never compromise
what I hold dear in my heart.
What better prize could there be
than receiving your warm hug?
Every breath feels so boring
when distance makes us apart.
Joy would not be what it is
witho…

To greet the morning
with our distinctive giggles.
To subdue the night
with our lively sparkles.
To end the day,
filling each other's weaknesses.
And remain motivated to
do more wonders.

Everything looks too much like a lie.
So I hide, I cry, I say goodbyes.
A cocoon that doesn’t want to fly.
Until you came and gave a smile.
Now, I'm not afraid of the retries.
Still fragile, but for you, I’ll…

To stay awake
just to avoid
having the same bad dream.
To take a deep breath
just to hide
and suppress my own scream.
To wish for the rain
just to change
the path of this sad routine.
To forget it all…

May saya sa pagsalubong sa
panibagong Buwan.
Tila bagong biling kwadernong,
nakasasabik sulatan.
Bagong siglang haraping muli,
mga kabiguan.
Sisimulan ang bagong umagang
may ngiti’t
nakatingin sa ati…

Singganda ng bulaklak
ang iyong ngiti.
Kumupas ma’y
laging nakabibighani.
Laging hinahanap-hanap
sa pag-uwi.
Pangakong iingatan
hanggang sa huli.

Limitado sa kayang gawin
ngunit hindi sa kayang matutunan.
Kapag puso na ang susundin
kahit takot, mapapagtagumpayan.

Tila pumayapa ang hangin
dahil sa iyong lambing.
Gumaan na ang paghinga’t
humina na ang pagdaing.
Nagising sa bangungot na
puno ng alalahanin.
Nagkulay sa mundo kong
mag-isang kailangang tawirin.

The world seems unreachable
no matter how far I stretch my arm.
Like plowing a life riddled
by continues why’s and confusing hows.

But you made things bearable,
through your warmth
and empowering smiles.

To be betrayed by time,
as it passes faster when we’re happy.
To ignore all the signs
that tell us we will never be ready.

To cling to your warm hands,
which promises hope on every journey.

It's not a good day
without your infectious smiles.
Thoughts in disarray,
and my faith just seems so fragile.
Please take me away,
LOVE ME, and I will be docile.

I badly needed
your compliments.
It’s a boost
that lessens my stress.
In a world
racing for achievements.
Your caring heart
LIGHTENS THE PROCESS.

Kapag ramdam kong hindi patas
ang mundo,
inaalala ko ang mga ngiti mo.

Hindi man panalo sa araw na ito
alam kong sa susunod, kakayanin ko.

Dahil sa pag-uwi,
ang yakap mo ang premyo ko.

Nakakatamad
kapag tahimik,
kapag mainit,
kapag wala ka sa tabi
na nagpupumilit.
Pangitiin ang tulad kong
palaging magulo ang pag-iisip.
Nakakatamad.
