Thank You For Not Choosing To Stay

Titulo ng aking tula ay ang iyong ngalan LIGAYA
Pangalan natin dalawa ang nakalathala .
Sa unang tingin hindi ko lubos akalain

Isinasagawa at hindi na puro bibig .
Nagsimula sa katagang " Kamusta ka "

Alam kong dadating. Dadating ang panahon na unti-unti akong mawawala, maglalaho.

Puno ako ng panghihinayang ngayon. Hindi ko lubos maisip na mararanasan ko iyong ganito—magmahal sa tamang tao ngunit maling panahon. Apat na taon na makalipas nung una tayong pinagtagpo ng tadhana. Labing anim na taon ako noon at ikaw ay dalawan...
Interested to a Coffee and talk about what is Life .
It started with a "hi" and "hello" and then akala ko wala ng kasunod. Tahimik and masungit sa umpisa, very straightforward mag salita at maraming na intimidate sayo pero iba ka pala kapag nakilala ka ng lubusan. It's hard to get to know you and get along kasi sobrang taas ng wall...
I appreciate you as an answer to my prayer.
I don't want to give you mixed signals
because you don't deserve confusion but, clarity and sincerity.
Though it may take away the thrill and mystery.
I'd rather be true to you with pure intentions in developing a genuine connection...

Our relationship got off to a less-than-ideal start.
Concur without any mutual entanglements, but only by the bonds of affection and enchantment.
Enthralled in the sweet surrender of intimacy, entwining in cuddles, and finding fulfillment.
Not knowing that our souls are bound to ...
In shadows deep, she walks alone,
A girl whose heart has turned to stone,
Each step a weight upon her soul,
Her past a haunting, endless toll.
She dreams of giving up the fight,
To let her tears flow in the night,
But in her chest, a heavy load,
For people's ...
Pero what if kapag bumalik ka? Kapag nagkita tayo somewhere ngingitian kaya kita? Ihuhug kaya kita? Or hahampasin kita sa inis dahil ang weak mo? Kunyari lang yung sinasabi kong di na kita iniistalk pero nalessen naman na. May kaunti paring feelings pero mawawala din to someday....
Sobrang nasaktan mo ako sa lahat ng ginawa mo. You asked for a breakup 10 days before my birthday after that day nakablocked na agad ako sa social media mo. Talagang tinapat mo pa sa birthday month ko nuh? One month before third year of our first convo during pandemic na ako yun...
I still remember asking this question years ago.
Lord, why me? Why do I have to feel this pain?
Lord, why does it have to be me when I know I don't deserve this misery?
I've been patient. I've been very understanding. I've been generous.
So, why? Why me, Lord?

Dearest you,
It has been a month since I told you that I am starting to fall in love with you. Though I have never fully expressed what I felt as I was afraid that I might get the answer I never wanted to hear or know. If I could only tell you, how long have I been...
Sol,
When I tell you I love you,
I am not saying it out of habit,
I am reminding you
that your soul is the love of mine.
When I tell you I miss you,
I am not saying it for you to miss me too.
I am assuring you
That your presence is irreplaceable.

Sana may oras pa…
Madagdagan pa ng oras na makasama kita.
Kulang ang mga nakaw na sandali, ang mga halik sa labi, mga hawak sa aking pisngi, mga yakap na saglit.
Kulang pa, kulang pa.
Sa lahat ng gusto pang ipakita, ipadama at ibigay. Sa ikli ng panahon sana nadama mo lahat, ...
Forgotten but not untold. For the moon and stars are witnesses of his silent screams. Words and rhymes are the product of his overflowing thoughts. He exploited his miseries to create his own masterpiece.
Break someone's heart completely; don't leave any fragments of false hope for it to mend.
When God created the world, He created man on the sixth day. He doesn't want Adam to be alone, hence He created Eve for Him.
God does not want us to live and experience life all alone. He created us for each other. That is why family and friends exist. Relationship exists. No...
In tender moments, don't hold me close, If in the end, your absence grows. Don't weave a web of care so fine, If heartache's shadow is your design.
For kind gestures, like fleeting stars, Shouldn't mask inevitable scars. If departure waits at journey's bend, Let's not pretend,...
Hi! You said hi, that's how we met. You're full of yourself and cracking jokes here and there. You're laughing your heart out, you're almost out of breathe. Your playfulness, randomness, and craziness are frowned upon by the others. But, you are a stranger I have yet to discover....
As I sit here, phone in hand, I feel compelled to express my heart to you.
I thought you would stay. When we embarked on this journey together, I thought that our connection was unbreakable and that our friendship would withstand the test of time. In you, I found a confidant, ...

Sana may oras pa…

Kulang pa, kulang pa.
