what if we'd stop or just
try to jump
what if to carry wasn't meant
for us after all
what if I was never yours to hold
write this book
trust the "I know"
and what if the truth was right
would I still try to convince wrong?

you see
the line grows from above
and I'll sell the book
I promise
'cause "what if" was never mine
it was yours
and only
yours

My mind is tired, wants to sleep
But my anxiety says no
My heart is cold, wants to leave
But I don't
My hands shake, holding tight
But I want to let go

I can't let go, I want to let go
I can't let go, I want to let go

I used to love you
Now I forget how
With fresh flowers blooming
And teardrops melting in little ponds
I used to love you
Now love dissolves
Like sugar in lemon water
It isn’t even your fault

My heart isn’t broken
No fire burns within me
You’re just a person
I used to love
I guess one day it just decided
To stop beating for you
Heart and mind agreeing
I used to love

What I used to do
Now you do
When you stop chasing
They start thinking about you
Without the curse
It’s surprisingly painless
No tides swallow me now
I used to love you
free at last

I want to say goodbye
Leave all these shadows behind
So you need to let me go
In life there's no rewind

You try to save me from myself
But you can't save someone
who wants to drown

You try to pull me back up
But the only way I can see
from here is down

These cuts are getting too deep
And these whispers too loud
There's no peace even in sleep
And I'm just an empty face in the crowd

See I ran out of plastic smiles
And misplaced my mask
Now my true colors are bleeding through
Who knows how long I'll last

But promise me one thing
Just one thing I ask
Let me say goodbye tonight
Let me escape what's past

I confess that I fear everything,
& coming out of my shell is yet to find!
Dear fears, I wish you could go for a vacation away from me!
with you I am hesitant as well as resistant all the time.
I don't know how to explain.
I wish I could let go of all of them
And do everything I ever wanted to do.
Thoughts keeps running across my mind
figuring no way out except thinking.
And my time is flowing fast enough...
I wish there was somebody to push me from the cliff
so that I could actually start living..
But, I get it, there is nobody except me
I have to push myself
Not for others but for myself.
I don't want to change for other but for myself..
I blame my fears but fear is a part of me whom I have to cut it out!

Yes I love you, but I'm not a fool anymore
Yes I love you, but it Really hurts
Yes I love you, but love, Im giving up.
Letting go isnt hard.

Pinagmasdan ko ang paglipad mo
Napakaganda mo
Hanggang ang langit
Ay naging "sa piling ko."

Sa pagpupumilit **** lumipad,
Doon ka nahagip ng nagsisigawang mga hangin,
Doon ka naputulan ng isang pakpak,
At doon, sa wakas:
Nagpasalo at nagpakanlong ka sa'king pag-ibig.

Wala kang kamalay-malay
Na ako ang siyang umakay sayo.
Sa una pa lang, alam ko namang
Pag nahilom ka na'y
Kusa ka na ring aalis.
Alam ko namang ang bisig ko'y
Siyang tambayan lang ng pag-ibig.

Minsan, pinangarap ko ring makalipad
Gaya mo, baka sakaling magtagpo tayo sa ere
Baka sakaling masabayan kita
Sa mga gusto mo pang liparin.

Pero magkaiba kasi tayo
Wala akong sinasabing hindi patas ang tadhana
Pero tama nga si Bathala,
Wala naman tayong magagawa
Kaya mabuting ngayon pa lang,
Pakawalan na kita.

Mahal, lipad na
Kaya ko nang mag-isa.
Mahal, paalam na
Kahit ang totoo'y:
**Di ko pa kaya ang wala ka.

Sometimes you
Can't let go of
Whats making
You sad, because
it was the only
thing that made
you happy.

Warm fuzzy slippers still sit where she left them
A beautiful lady closed her eyes for the last time
They took her pulse
They took her body
They took my love
They left her favorite shoes
In the foyer they sit
They wait for her
Never to be filled by those tiny feet again
My grandma passed away this weekend. It is surreal to see her belongings still where they were when she died. Almost like she hasn't left me.
