ORAS

                                

Oras... Huminto ang oras nang masilayan ka

Tila ang mundo’y tumigil pansamantala

Tanging ikaw lang ang aking nakikita

Parang isang anghel sa aking mga mata.

Oras... Hinihintay ang oras na sa aki’y lumapit ka

Tila segundo lang, ika’y nasa harap ko na

Sinabi mo sa aking nais mong makipagkaibigan

Pumayag naman ako ng walang pag-aalinlangan.

Oras... Tumakbo ang oras at hindi rin nagtagal

Ipinagtapat mo sa akin ang iyong pagmamahal

Labis ang galak, nagpasalamat sa Maykapal,

Sapagkat ikaw lang ang tangi kong pinagdarasal.

Oras... Lumipas ang oras, araw, at buwan

Nagulat na lang ako nang ako’y biglang iniwan.

Nalaman kong ika’y bumalik sa iyong dating kasintahan,

Nasampal ako sa katotohanang ako’y pampalipas-oras lamang.

UNTIL THEN...

I saw you crying under the rain.

I wanted to hug you and mend all the pain.

I was about to do it, but I thought of it again

Just then I remembered, you never knew who I am.

I was loving you secretly,

And you were loving her deeply.

I couldn't fathom seeing you in misery.

While she just tossed your feelings grimly.

I'll declare my love for you this coming summer.

Hoping and praying you'll eventually leave her.

A man like you deserves someone better.

Until then, my friend, we will be together.

THE RAIN AND MY LIFE

I hate rainy days, though I didn't before.
You made me hate it and hate it even more.
See, first impression doesn't last.
You'll realize things when it's all in the past.

You came into my life, like a beautiful rainfall.
But just like a raindrop, you'll never catch me at all.
The things you've learned to appreciate at first,
You'll probably loathe them when you're at your worst.

They say life is simple, but I'll say it's not.
They see things that you lack, not what you've got.
See, society sucks and so as my life.
And just like the rain, I'd be gone tonight.
