Happiness is a Warm Gun

The Million Other Things

A million things came rushing
When I took my pen and began writing
The things I’d gladly do for you
Topping the list was one word
Strong, dripping crimson
Four letters
KILL
Then I crossed it out
Too morbid, I said
The next came with a smile
Martyr, easily promised
Three letters this time
DIE
Not really, I thought
A line of red ink went through
Like a lifeline gone flat
Mocking me in its dullness
I tried more words, infinite promises
WRITE
SING
DANCE
PRAY
Nothing expressed the intensity
Of my feelings for you
So I tore the rest of the page off
Where the other million things were
Then I burned it - and with the ashes came
Another promise
That if I cannot do the million things
I’d gladly do this one:
LOVE
I’d gladly love you until the day
The million other things are done. 

Mahal Kita

Sa gitna ng kahapon at bukas
Habang naglalaro ang panaginip at katotohanan
Matatagpuan ko sa katahimikan
Ng pusong hindi ramdam ang pagtibok
Na mahal kita

Sa pagitan ng pangarap at kabiguan
Habang umiiyak ang mga talunan
Sa saliw ng awit ng mga may kagitingan
Aking maiisip, ‘di sinasadya
Na mahal kita

Sa loob ng lahat ng aking kinatatakutan
Mga misteryong ayokong tuklasin kailanman
Makikita ko ang sariling nakatitig sa kawalan
Sa isang pares ng matang hindi mawari
Na parang dating panaginip na ngayo’y maghihiganti

At sa kabila ng karimlang bumabalot sa puso
Mahahanap kita - ikaw na tinanggap nang buong-buo
Ikaw na habangbuhay kong iniirog
Ikaw na habangbuhay kong hinihintay
Sa kabila ng lahat, mahal kita. 

Hello, You

You’re the only one I’d say ”yes” to - and mean it. Not that there’s a legion of men lining up to make me say it, I just want you to know how sure I am. No matter if there were hundreds or if there was only one, if there was only you, I’d pick nobody else.

I want to take long walks and talk about stuff - anything under the big orange sun we’ll be walking under. And we’ll take photographs of the beautiful sunset until the stars twinkle to lead us home.

I want to sing with you until our voices vanish in a flurry of laughter and company. We’ll do those unbelievably cheesy duets until we puke all over ourselves. And we’ll just laugh, and laugh, and laugh some more until our friends think we’re crazy.

I want to go on countless movie dates - from crumby deluxe cinemas to awesome La-Z-Boys with unlimited popcorn and drinks! I think I’d want that on my birthday, but I’d still go whenever you ask me.

I want to cry on your shoulders and be happy in your arms, as cheesy as that may sound. I want my “yes” to resound in front of all our family and friends on that day when I’ll be the prettiest woman in the world. I want to see you and feel your triumph - that at last, at long last, I’m walking down the aisle towards you: the man of my dreams, the one who made the wait worthwhile.

Until He leads me to you, I promise to wait - and be faithful to whoever you might be.

All this Time

If all this time was wasted
Trying to prove fairies exist
And still nobody believed
Why should I?

If since the dawn of time
Words have been left unsaid
And yet the world moved on
Why speak now?

If all this time the clock ticks
Bringing us closer to death
And still we live like gods
Why stop now?

If since the moment we met
The chances were lost
And yet I continued hoping
Why blame you?

If all of this waiting
Is pointless, futile
And I knew it, too, from the start
Why did I?

Madalas naiinggit ang tutubi sa paru-paro - puro nalang kasi paru-paro ang pilit dinidikit sa mga bagay na maganda. Pero para sa tutubi okey narin - ibig sabihin hindi siya mainstream.
