Ways which make you feel
delight in hearts of steel
hope in flight across the world
a thousand miles and beyond
where my sunrise is your sunset
-the intensity of distance
when so many resemble you
in ways only the mind knows
failing the heart's desire
for now, feelings grow strong
far from home, just an armslength
no longer alone and gaining strength.

-Pilipinas, May 17th

Cueshe:
Ulan
Lagi nalang umu-ulan
Parang walang katapusan
Tulad ng paghihirapko ngayon
Parang walang humpay
Sa kabila ng lahat ng aking pagsisikap
Na limutin ka ay di parin magawa

Hindi naman ako tanga
Alam ko na wala kana
Pero mahirap lang na tanggapin
Di na kita kapiling
Iniwan mo ako nag-iisa
Sa gitna ng dilim at basing-basa pa sa ulan

Pero huwag mag-alala
dina kita gagambalain
Alam ko naman ngayon
may kapiling ka nang-iba

Tanging hiling ko sa’yo
Na tuwing umu-ulan
Maalala mo sanang may
Nagmamahal sa’yo. Ako…..
Lalalalalalalalala….

I adore this song, which has so many memories of travelling the Philippines, last month...oh how I miss you beloved Pilipinas.

We only have one heart
in one life
and one chance
to live it right
