Ilang taon akong nabulag sa paniniwalang kailangan mo munang makaranas ng sakit bago mo makamit ang tunay na ligaya.
Na ang bawat luha ay may katumbas na galak, na ang bawat gabi ng pighati ay may pangako ng isang masayang umaga.

Ilang taon akong nakipagsapalaran sa pagibig na mapagpanggap. Kaliwa't kanang kabitan, walang katapusang kasinungalingan.
Pagibig na sa harap ng madla ay puno ng kilig at lambing. Ngunit sa ilalim ng mga yakap at mga halik ay ang mga pasa at sugat na dulot ng masasakit na salitang sing talim ng bagong hasang lanseta.

Ilang taon akong nasanay sa kalungkutan, walang kadaladala. Sugod ng sugod sa labang alam ko namang sa bandang dulo ay ako ang uuwing talunan. Pilit akong kumapit sa mga maling tao. O tamang tao sa maling pagkakataon. O sa akala ko'y tamang tao pero hindi naman ako gusto. Sakit no?

Ilang taon akong sumugal sa mga relasyong walang kasiguraduhan, sa pagibig na "pwede na", kahit alam ko sa sarili kong walang patutunguhan. Minsan nga kahit wala nang kakabit na emosyon basta lang may pantawid sa tawag ng laman pinapatos ko ng walang pagaalinlangan.

Ilang taon akong pansamantalang nakisilong sa iba’t ibang tahanan. Na sa una’y buong puso ang pagtanggap ngunit sa bandang dulo ay walang habas din akong pinagtabuyan palabas.

Ilang taon? Hindi ko na mabilang. Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang taon akong nagtapang tapangan na suungin ang mga tila panibago na namang disgrasyang maaari kong kaharapin sa proseso ng paghahanap ng tunay na ligaya. Isang pagibig na may pangako ng walang hanggan.

Hanggang sa... napagod na ako. Sa wakas, napagod na ako. Napagod na akong kwestyunin ang kalawakan sa kung bakit palagi na lang akong pumapalya sa pagibig. Napagod na akong magtiwala. Natakot na akong magtiwala. Natakot na akong buksang muli ang puso ko sa susunod na estrangherong magsasabing “hindi kita sasaktan, peksman mamatay man”

At Unti unti kong napagtanto na sa ilan taon kong paghahanap ay ako, ako ang nawala.

At nahanap mo ako.

Ikaw ang naging sagot sa bawat tandang panong na ibinato ko sa kalawakan sa loob ng maraming taon. Tinuldukan mo ang lumbay at ipinamukha sa akin na hindi ko kailangang masaktan para makamtan ang tunay na ligaya. Na kailanma'y hindi ako dapat lumuha dahil sa hinagpis. Hindi ka nangakong hindi mo ako sasaktan, ngunit ipinadama mo sa akin ang  ang masarap **** pagaalaga. Pagaalagang hindi kailangan malaman ng iba para mapatunayan na bukal sa loob ang hangarin. Binigyan mo ako ng dahilan para muling magtiwala.

... Ng lakas na sayo ay kumapit at ipadama sayo ang init at gigil ng pagibig na ni minsan ay hindi ko naipadama sa sinoman. Binigyan mo ako ng pagasa... ng dahilan para muling maging matapang.


At ngayon, sa unang pagkakataon.
Buong tapang kong ipagsisigawan sa buong mundo na palangga ta ka. Na handa na ako sa pagsisimula ng isang bagong paglalakbay kasama mo mahal ko. At oo, oo ang naging sagot ko.
Baby stay with me
Make my heart your home
You will be my guardian
And we could build a rome
Baby stay with me
Through every wrong or right
We could be like moon and star
And make the night look bright
Baby stay with me
Because you’re my drug
You will be my socket and I will be the plug
And forever ‘d be our starting point
Baby stay with me
Coz I can’t live without you
Ask me if I’d be your heaven and earth
And I will tell you “I would”
Baby stay with me
Although today is blur
But tomorrow could be brighter
And we could have enough
Baby stay with me
I’ll be your half in love
No matter how little I have
I’ll give you my world
Baby stay with me
And I’ll be your armour
I will fight against the odds
If they trynna harm ya
Baby stay with me
I wont man you with greed
And I will do everything
To satisfy your needs
Baby stay with me
Be my love and friend
And even when we reach heaven
Our love will never end (we would continue there)
Baby stay with me
You know I’ve always been lonely
You know my life is lifeless
Coz you’re the only one for me
Baby stay with me
I’ll never misuse my ego
Although some people trynna rid you
But we’ll overcome their evil
Baby stay with me
And never let me down
And let’s write the kind of story
That ‘ll make the world say wow

The terms (bridge, shoring, wall, critical flow, centrifugal pump, lintels and neutral axis ) used in this poem are some basic terms that every civil engineering student should know. Be creative while you study!
Inspired from a civil engineering book.
—————————————————

“Here I write
From the core of my heart
For no other than but you my love.

Like a bridge,
You're carrying my paths over every obstacle,
You're the one you've made my life stable.

Like a shoring,
You've strengthened me when I was shattered
You've done so well to me and that mattered.

Like a wall,
You've been so defensive.
You've offered me the best of the best relationships.

Like a critical flow,
My love for you is deepened,
You've left an impression which is permanent.

Like a centrifugal pump,
You've allowed my feelings to gel up perfectly in me,
You've made me feel beautiful and free.

Like lintels,
You've provided me with the required way
You've shown me the places where I can grow and play.

Over and above,
You've become the critical neutral axis of my life,
Let's stay together and celebrate life."
What say-- Yay or nah?

Handsome, young lover
proposed, quickly she said,"Yes!"
Was three months pregnant.

We loved each other a lot,
but in different ways.

Who would've known our love
was starting to decay?

And to think it all started
when you proposed last May.

When our beginning became our ending
on that fateful Saturday.

It was so grand, so perfect
the island, people--that entire day.

An absolute dream come true,
if I may say.

Tears of happiness,
smiles for days.

This was all I was waiting for,
so why did I keep running away?
The dream proposal that ended us; it's almost been a year now.

First date. Bistrot Pierre.
Your mother rang you up
"She doesn't want me to *** around, you know what, I will."
I choked on my wine.
Your eyes glittered, your lips curving
into a deliciously wicked cheeky smile

Second Date. Franca Manco.
You went to the bathroom
took your hoodie off to reveal a half sheer top
The pizza or you? I hesitated for the first time
You bit your lips, lashes curled
the blush on you dainty and delicate

Third date. My shower
You massaged my hair while laughing
"We are the weirdest couple ever"
bare lips, wet hair, your body on mine
You made me sober yet fearless as a drunkard
You made a marriagephobic crave for love
"Let's get married."

Your jaw dropped
a true poem haha

When the path ahead is dark, find the light inside:
Believe in yourself and let your heart be your guide.
Reach out through the darkness and take my hand,
I will bring you from stormy seas onto dry land.
Keep the faith, the flame of hope alive
And, though you don't know the way, you will arrive.
Listen to your heart beating in your chest
Have you ever wondered how much you are blessed?
Feel my heart beat just like yours
That, when you are close, it swoops and soars.
What is this feeling? It's painful, and it longs.
I long to find a home, a place my heart belongs.
It's a feeling so tender, so clear and real
Could it be love that I now feel?
You give me joy, you are my life
My life is yours. Will you be my wife?
I promise to live as your love deserves:
Walking together in straight roads and curves.
I promise to cherish and protect you every day
To communicate and listen, to comfort and pray.
You have my heart, you are my life. The choice is yours to make:
Will we join together in heart and hand and take the leap of faith?

This cool breeze
This moonless night
The swaying of trees
The stars glow bright

Your hand in mine
This night seems so fine
A gulp of red wine
We had a lovely dine

You got on your knees
"Will you marry me please"
Your proposal was so sweet
That got me on my feet

"Yes", was all I could say
A diamond ring made its way
On my finger forever to stay
A gentle kiss on his lips I lay

A happy moment we had
Until I fell off my bed
Oh it all came to an end
It was morning again, my bad

Just a dream.

If I could I would fill the room with roses
If I could I would hire a string quartet
If I could I would get down on one knee
and propose

If we could we would buy a house with a white picket fence
If we could we would have three perfect children
If we could we would grow old together
and die together
But we can’t.
because of the things they said
because of the looks they gave
because of the thoughts you heard
because of the heart they broke
because the bottle was close
because death was warm and welcomed
because of them.
We can’t die together
grow old together
have three children together
buy a house together
I can’t propose
can’t get down on one knee
can’t hire a string quartet
can’t fill the room with roses
Because of them.
