Ikaw…

Dumating ka sa’kin noong ako’y sobrang baba
Dumating ka sa’kin na may simpleng “Kamusta?”
Hindi pa ako naging ganon kasaya
Na akala mo’ng puso ko’y lobong puputok na.

Ikaw ang nagpapangiti sa’kin buong araw
Ikaw ang nagpapaalis sa lahat ng aking ayaw
Ang nagpapalimot sa lahat ng sasabihin ko
Ang nagpapaalala sa magandang buwan ng Mayo.

Kung ngumingiti ka’y sobrang saya ko
Pero kung wala ka’y nag-iisa naman ako
Ang swerte naman ng babaeng kasama mo
Ano ‘to? Selos ba ko? Siguro, siguro…

Minsan-minsan lang kita nakikita
Siguro kaya ako’y nalulungkot na
Alam mo namang hindi ko rin alam
Kung bakit bagong-bago ang aking pakiramdam.

Ikaw ang nagbibigay sa’kin ng inspirasyon
Kung bakit ako’y sobrang masaya ngayon
Ang nagpapakanta sa’kin ng “Undying Admiration,”
Parang ang puso ko’y nakahanap ng ligtas na nayon.

Siguro balang-araw’y magkikita tayong muli
At pagkatapos noon ay di tayo pahuhuli
Pagkat ang alaala mo’y parang mantsa sa’kin
Sa puso ko na parehong matamis at masakit din.

A/N: Hay buhay… I’ve got a really hectic schedule, especially this September (I’m the president of the Science Club, I’m the official feature writer of The Divinians in the English language, I’ve got the honor role to go after and not to mention the program I’ve got to guide/supervise!) Sheesh… But there’s no use denying it--- being a senior is COOL! Not only do you get to be on top of the popularity food chain, you also get to have the “authority” to hang out at the major public places in the school in a carefree way (since if you’re below the rank of someone else, it is likely that you should be careful about the way you act and what you say). Not that we’re terrorizing freshmen or anything… I’m just saying that life is kind of more exciting and everything…

Well, as for those who know me, I’m sorry if I’ve been out for so long. Lol, had to recover from a broken heart and the usual stuff (the irrational decision-making and child-raising of adults---a.k.a. my parents). Sheesh…

Reach for the stars!
