unwritten

"Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten."

random hugot

"ilang isaw pa ba ang kakainin?"

nasan ka na? aasa pa ba akong darating ka?

"kung kaagaw ko ang lahat, may pag-asa bang makilala ka?"

kasalanan mo, masyado kang madaling mahalin. 

"sa isip at panaginip, bawat pagpihit ng tadhana, hinahanap hanap kita"

kahit sa pangarap lang, sapat na, masaya na ako.

random thoughts

what's the point of wonder woman's invisible plane? you can still see her inside... she ends up kinda looking weird flying while sitting down. :D

rehab

i've just come to the realization 

that seeing you smile and laugh 

has become one of my favorite things.

your happiness is like a drug

that i want more and more of

each and every single day.

just a speck of dust

How many times did I pray you'd find me

How many wishes on a star

Gazing off into the dark dreaming I'd see your face
Safe at home unafraid, captured in your embrace.

Maybe now I'm ready to be found. 

Who are we?

Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?

Some nights, I stay up while the whole world's sleeping

Could you be someone I've known all along?

Maybe we passed on a crowded street 

never knowing you were where I belong.

Will I ever breathe the air that you do? 

Love begins with one hello.

Sometimes when you and I collide 

I fall into an ocean of you;

Pull me out in time, don't let me drown.

Our dreams, and they are made out of real things

like a shoe-box of photographs with sepia-toned loving.

Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side.

Hoku. Alden Richards. Adam Levine. Side A. Side A. Randy Crawford. Bic Runga. Jack Johnson. Justin Timberlake. 

You first believed. Wish I may. Lost stars. One wish. Will I ever. One hello. Sway. Better together. Mirrors. 

good mornings

i don't even care anymore;
all i know is you make me happy
and i love you.

and if every morning,
yours is the face i see first
then it will be the happiest of mornings
for the rest of my life.
