I want you to know... I call you by your last name...
You said my name is beautiful. Thanks, but you know what? I don't like my second name - Jean.
I was born May 21, you were born January 1. I am 20 days, 4 months and 13 years younger than you, doesn't matter.
You like younger women, we're vivacious. I like older men, you're wiser.
Blue's Clues! February 14 last year, my date and I watched the movie Baler. February 14 this year, I'm dating someone from Baler.
I understand that your family is very important to you. I have this feeling that if circumstances will force you to make a choice, you'll choose them over me, right?
Back to our old school days,

Why is it painful to love?

We never know
but when it slits our being
it can last a lifetime

We never know
but where it hits us
causes paralysis

We never know
but who hurts us
is always the most special

We never know
why they always do
we're just always left wond'rin'

so We never know
how to heal the wounds
if ever they do heal, still there's always deep scars

eLove You

with a push of a button
and a click of the mouse
from my screen to yours

I am sending my love
with a cyber kiss
and a code for a hug

Cold Sunset

above the pink sky,
behind those silent clouds
are emotions...

beneath the frozen water,
within the stillness of the sea
are memories...

of the forgotten
who longs to be remembered...
just when the sun sets
and my tears fall

as your guitar is broken
and Morrison sings his goodbye
our hands lose grip...

our footsteps make a rhythm
of stones clashing by the beach
but they leave no prints

they are washed ashore...

Death Of An Emo

my bedroom is my coffin
sprayed with sweet formalin
I lay still with my bloodshot eyes open
as my chaotic mind is wondrin'

I think I need some nicotine
to kiss the smoke as it spells your name
I think I need some wine or caffeine
to taste your heat when we're fuckin'

I think I need some cocaine
to get away from all burden
I think I have to lick that bloodstain
to erase the memory of pain

I think I need you to lean on
I'm weak, I can't move on
because though I think I drown
still I don't wa

The Promise

i never saw a man
cry before me...
before

until you.

sorry.

i promise
i'll listen to you,
i'll go to sleep now

so that
we can meet
in a dream

in the heavens
we created
just for us

in the paradise
we live
to love.

Love Overdosage

You gave me everything
so that I'll learn to return them back to you
I received nothing

You made me a possession
so that I'll know to whom I belong
until you forgot that I am also mine

You studied what I really am
and you realized I am not like you
so that you needed to mold me into your likeness

You loved me too much
until we both drowned
as we lost ourselves

because now what you see in you is me
and you started to think that you are me
so that you won't understand

because you spent all your time
trying to make me understand you
until you forgot that you should have understood yourself first

still I know, you won't listen t

A Modern Romantic Epic

been nights
since I heard you say
you love me

that let my tears pour
though,
the nights after

not because
I was overwhelmed
but because I missed HIM more...

look, I'm sorry
I'm this rude
it's just that it hurts much

thinking over again
why God won't listen
to my prayers

I...I plead many times
to win HIM back
but I lost.

and it hurts even more
thinking all this time
why God will give me

YOU.
...when He knows perfectly
I won't learn to love you.

because I know
I never will,
ever since the day

I saw your crumpled hair
your wounded wrist
your untied Chucks

your smoky thoughts...
felt your drunken emotions
your drug

Tissue

i didn't wear my watch
i want to forget it's Thursday
i don't want 2:00 a.m. to come

still something in me anticipates
while something in me dies
while i lose myself

i almost uttered a prayer
that he'd still be there
sitting...
sipping his Starbucks coffee

even though i have in my hands
the note he wrote
in this tear-soaked tissue

my heartbeat became my clock
i watched the door swung open,
and close, as people come and go

i looked for his face
but i only find it in my mind
i started to worry

i searched for his presence
but i only feel him in my heart
i started to cry

i hate this tissue!
it did not lie to me

I'm Over You

Your ghost haunts me no more
on ebony nights that I'm alone
I now have peaceful sleeps
gone are those painful weeps

Your shadow follows me no more
on bright days that I'm idle
I now am a sane creature
gone are my crazy demeanors

My mind is crystal clear
It's not you who I deserve
I've changed my prayers
I became much wiser

My heart won't make me stupid
my emotions won't bend my decisions
I've changed my faith
before it is too late

Now I can look straight to your eyes
Smile at you with no disguise
Meet you vis-a-vis
You're someone I'll no longer miss...

and maybe you'd wonder
why suddenly I just don't care
why I act like

Getting Over Him

does not mean forgetting him...
or stopping from loving him.

It simply means getting back to the basics
no more 3-hour phone calls every night
no more 500 sms a day
no more weekly dates
no more monthsaries
no more future plans...

Just being by myself again
without him...without him...

"I Swear"

Men,
like the fingers on my left hand
I had five of them
spare the five on my right
it would be the same

Him,
like the thumb, he's quite far from the others
I look up to him
because his music gives him wings
I thought he was the one

and him,
like the forefinger, he always points ahead
I look forward to him
because his skills rob him away
I thought he was the one

another him,
like the middlefinger, he stands out
I am always looked upon
because his intellect makes me dumb
I thought he was t

Dear Romeo,

no'ng una tayo nag-usap
naisip ko you're just one of 'em
busy, snob, metropolis men

i waited for your e-mail
nangako ka e, pero 'ala
i knew it, somehow it still hurt

'ala na 'kong balak umasa
but then nasorpresa mo'ko ha
days passed na kasi, still tumawag ka

nahiya pa ako
it's your aunt pala who added me up on fb
and now they tease you...

nangingiti ako hehe
pag nangungulit ka, madaldal ka pala
who would've known hmmm

'di ako mapakali sa work
pag nagvibrate na mobile ko
musika na s'ken voice mo

'di na nakakatamad umuwi
i know you're waiting e
and my day would be complete

'di na nakakabagot
childish pero masaya ako
lumulukso ang puso ko

'cause you're my Romeo
i'm not a princess, this isn't a fairytale
but i'm your Juliet
