Valentines

Here we go again, it’s Valentines

And everyone’s out to dine,

Chocolates and flowers are everywhere

Cupid with his favorite arrow already in the poster.

Lots of love, full of hearts

For Couples, it’s a brand new start,

For Singles, it’s their time to mingle

And everybody’s ready and willing to cuddle.

But also, there’s always that one person

Who will be bitter and yell,

‘there’s no forever!’ with all emotions

But deep inside their hearts

They wanna feel love and affection.

Valentines is not just for couples

It’s for everyone, cause it’s a love symbol,

We should remember why we have this kind of celebration

To show our loved one’s how much we love them despite their imperfections,

To send our deepest love to our lover, friends and parents

To make them feel that they are God’s perfect present.

So we should smile on Valentines

We should celebrate it with so much love even without a glass of wine,

By being happy even without teddy bear, chocolates and flowers

By being contented even without balloons and big surprises,

Just by making 'efforts’ and 'I love yous’ a real stuff

And all those simple gestures will be more than enough,

Just always keep the love shine,

And everyday you will always feel like you’re in cloud nine.

I tried so hard not to listen to the demons who were with me every night. I tried so hard to remove the arms that wrapped in me as they were giving me temporary comfort. I tried so hard not to listen to them whispering how awful I am and how am I not suppose to be loved. I tried so hard not to find peace in their existence, but honey, in them it felt like home. It’s a false company, I know. But I fell in love with destruction.

How lucky those people who found their one true love. Be it in most ridiculous, easy, absurd, whirlwind or difficult way. I find it so amusing, really.

How I wish I found the same for me.

Almost.

Seven years is what we had We’re a product of a highschool love, In the mahogany tree, we found love And we thought it was sent from above.

We got into college But we’re not in the same university, I’m kind of terrified Cause I’m afraid that our love will never be the same intensity, But you promised me, That nothing will change, It will always be me.

We plan our lives to spend with each other Get married, have kids and stay forever, We’ll be living our lives as we grow old together But all those plans will happen, never.

You chose to take path different from me You’re not the guy I thought you’d be, You chose the other girl over me As I silently crying in the same mahogany tree.

We almost made it. We’re almost there. We almost got together. Almost, is all we ever be. Almost, is the end of our love story.

In one single breath, Or a tick of the clock. In a snap of a finger, Or in a blink of an eye, Everything can change. - @tinta-ng-pluma - ty. jey//Change.

Our forever begins, When you chose to let me go. - @tinta-ng-pluma - ty. jey//Phrase.

Your soothing voice Inside my head, Your favorite shirt Underneath my bed, The room is filled With love and red, As I imagine my life With you to spend. - @tinta-ng-pluma - ty. jey//Imagine.

Pangako ng Lumipas. (His)

Sa paglubog ng araw, Ako'y nagbabalik-tanaw Sa isang alaala ng nakalipas, Nakalipas na para sa akin, parang kahapon lang. Sa likod ng punong mangga, Sa papalubog na araw, kayakap ka Habang ibinubulong ko sa iyong tainga Ang aking mga pangako. Ang iyong mainit at malambot na labi, habang humihikbi Ay nararamdaman ko pa sa aking labi. Habang lulan ng bus, Paalis sa lugar kung saan tayo nagmahalan, Ang lugar na saksi sa bawat saya’t pighati na ating naranasan Ang lugar kung saan pinaglaban natin ang ating pag-iibigan, Ang lugar na naging saksi rin sa aking paglisan. Sa panahong lumipas, ang imahe mo pa rin ang nasa aking alaala Imahe ng isang dalagang may mga matang puno ng saya, Mga labing kay pula at mga ngiti kay ganda. Gusto kong bumalik sa panahong iyon, Kung saan ikaw lang ang aking inaalala Gusto kong bumalik sa araw na yon, Kung saan sana'y hindi na lang kita iniwan pa Gusto kong balikan ang mismong oras na yon, Kung saan sana'y hindi na kita binitawan pa. Dahil sa araw na ito, Sa mismong oras na ito, Ang mga pangakong binitiwan ko, ay hindi ko na matutupad pa, Ang ika'y balikan pa, ay hindi na magaganap pa Ang ika'y mahagkan pa, ay malabong magkatotoo pa Ang pagmamahalan natin sa isa’t-isa, ay hindi na mangyayari pa Dahil ang lalaking nangakong magmamahal sayo, ngayon ay nakatali na. Ibubulong ko na lang sa hangin, at aking dinadalangin na sana ay iyong marinig ang bawat salitang aking nais sabihin, Gusto kong malaman mo, na sana hindi ka na maghintay pa Ayokong ika'y masaktan pa, Ang panalangin ko sana ika'y bumitaw na Patawarin mo ako sa mga pangakong di ko na matutupad pa Ang pangakong bumalik sa piling mo ay malabong mangyari na Sa huling pagkakataon, ibubulong ko sa hangin, na sobrang mahal kita. Ang mga pangako natin sa isa’t-isa ay tutuparin na natin ng magkahiwalay, Pangakong, tutuparin na natin sa magkaibang tao. At kahit na hindi tayo sa huli, At hindi ko man natupad ang aking mga pangako, Asahan mong ang pangakong mahalin ka ng buong buhay ko Ay ang nag-iisang pangakong tutuparin ko, Dahil sa puso’t isip ko ikaw pa rin ang naririto. At ang pangako na ito ay pangako na ako lang ang nakakaalam, Pangako, na hanggang ngayon ay akin paring inaasam. Na hanggang sa huli, ikaw pa rin. Ikaw lang. Sa puso ko. Ang nag-iisa. Kahit na merong iba, at ako'y nakatali na. Nag-iisa ka lang. Sa puso ko. Pangako.

Pangako Ng Lumipas. (Her)

Nandito pa rin ako… Nandito pa rin ako kung saan huli kitang nasilayan Habang ibinubulong ang mga pangakong iyong binitiwan, Nandito pa rin ako, sa parehas na pwesto kung saan huli kong natikman ang iyong mga labi Kasabay ng aking paghikbi. Sa pagtilaok ng manok o sa paglubog man ng araw Nandito pa rin ako, nakatanaw Ako, na naghihintay sa pagbabalik mo Ako, na umaasang isang araw babalik ka sa piling ko Babalik tayo sa piling ng isat isa. Nandito pa rin ako, nakatayo, Habang inaalala ang ating nakaraan Nakaraan, na sanay hindi mo nalimutan Nakaraan, na para sa akin, aking kayamanan. Oo, inaamin ko, minsan, gusto ko ng sumuko Tinatanong ko sarili ko kung may hinihintay pa ba ko? Kung tama pa rin ba na panghawakan ko ang iyong mga pangako? O kung tama pa rin bang maghintay sa pagbabalik mo? Oo, inaamin ko, minsan, gusto ko ng bumitaw Pero sa twing naaalala ko ang ating pinagsamahan, Pagmamahalan na ating pinaglaban Pag-iibigan na walang makakatibag kahit sino man, Nabibibigyan ako ng pag asa Pag asa, na kahit lumipas na ang ilang taon Ika'y magbabalik pa Pag asa, na kahit maghintay ako ng matagal Sa akin ay magbabalik ka pa, Pag asa, na kahit ano man ang mangyari Sa piling ko, magbabalik ka Umaasa ako na magbabalik ka pa, Na sa aking piling ika'y magbabalik pa… O kung hindi man, Asahan mo na maghihintay pa rin ako, Maghihintay ako sayong pagbabalik Maghihintay sayo, kahit gaano kasakit Maghihintay sayo, kahit gaano kapait Maghihintay ako, kahit lumipas man ang maraming taon. Maghihintay ako, para ipaalala sayo ang pangakong binitiwan mo, Ang pangakong, ako ang magtutupad para sayo Ang pangakong, ako ang magtutupad para sa ‘ting dalawa. Para sa pagmamahalan natin. Para ipaalala sayo na ang mga pangako, hindi laging napapako. Dahil ako ang tutupad noon para sa 'ting dalawa. Kahit na, Ako na lang mag-isa. Tutuparin ko. Pangako.
