solitary solace

THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY

The sun sets never shone
Darkness filled the day
People walk even run
I stand still, so still

Silence was loud
Screams were mute
Colors disappeared
Gray was overdue

I sleep but still awake
When awake I dream
Dreams were alive
Reality was a dream

My eyes were dry
Tears overflow
My heart was numb
Loneliness and pain ruled

My mind can’t think
Your memories linger
I am strong
Too strong to be weak

You lifted me up
But pushed me down
You were with me
But now so far

You made me whole
But broken me much more
You let me live
But soon gave me death

WHAT WE HATE ABOUT LOVE

Love is fair
But unreasonable
It is natural
But so ironic

Love is bliss
But full of sadness
It is heart warming
But heart breaking

Love conquers all
But can be conquered
It binds two hearts
But may leave them apart

Love is exciting
But sometimes uninspiring
It makes you sane
But you go crazy

Love is patient and kind
But uncontrollable and cruel
It brings respect
But may also reject

Love is beautiful
But sometimes nasty
It is meant to be forever
But may be a fling

Love is love
But we hate whom we love
It is hate
But we love whom we hate

FORGET ME NOT

We’ve been classmates for a semester
And been friends since then
Knowing you for barely 2 months
Never thought we’ll be close that much
Sharing stories and chismis
Having lunch breaks and a movie
Talking for hours in any way
Even reviewing for exams over the day
Tons of memories were created
And these are still cherished
Now that we’re apart
I miss you a lot
Every strum in the guitar seems to be music
Every second of the day we’re together is bliss
The glances and even stares at me
A sweet hug will be a nice dream
All the biglang smiles
Or kilig moments as you’ve described
The text messages you send when you’re away
We realized that we got used to each other anyway
I believe in all the things you’ve said
Coz I respect and trust you my dear friend
You said that I’ve affected your life in good ways
As an inspiration in many ways
Because of the happiness we had
We promised to stay as what we were then
I think the promise is slowly breaking
But remember I’m still holding
I want you to know that I won’t let go
Of all the memories we’ve built with much ado
I hope that you will do the same
Treasure me and never forget my name

CONSTANTLY
– Nina –

I knew it was there
Though I tried to hide it
The feeling just kept on shining through
Haven’t known you that long
So I try to deny it
But the feeling was much too
Much too strong

Could this be love
Deep down inside
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart

Constantly, you’re on my mind
Thinking about you all the time
I can’t sleep no matter what I do
I just keep on thinking ‘bout you

Why do I feel this way
When I know you have someone
That you’re seeing each and everyday
Should I play this game
Of just being your friend but i know that’s not where I want it to end

How could this be wrong
When it feels so strong
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart
No I don’t want to start
No trouble
Between you and I and you lover
But I must tell you what I’m going through
Everytime you walk by
I see love in your eyes

ANYTIME
– Brian Mcknight –

I can’t remember why we fell apart
From something that was so meant to be, yeah
Forever was the promise in our hearts
Now, more and more I wonder where you are
[Chorus]
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind anytime
I miss you
Still have your picture in a frame
Hear your footsteps down the hall
I swear I hear your voice, driving me insane
How I wish that you would call
To say
[Chorus]
I miss you
I miss you
(No more) loneliness and heartache
(No more) crying myself to sleep
(Don’t want no more) wondering about tomorrow
Won’t you come back to me
Come back to me, oh
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you

WE MIGHT AS WELL BE STRANGERS
– Keane –

I don’t know your face no more
Or feel your touch that I adore
I don’t know your face no more
It’s just a place I’m looking for
We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well

I don’t know your thoughts these days
We’re strangers in an empty space
I don’t understand your heart
It’s easier to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a another time
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well be strangers
Be strangers
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know

BEFORE SUNSET

i’m so miserable in my love life and my relationship
i always act like detached
but i’m dying inside
i’m dying because i’m so numb
i don’t feel pain or excitement
i’m not even bitter

THE VILLAGE

i love you like the day is long
i love you more than the sun and the moon together
and if you feel the same then we should not hide it any longer
it’s a gift love is
we should be thankful
we should bellow it out with all the breath in our lungs
thank you, thank you, thank you

MY FOUR SEASONS

It’s August but the leaves are still not falling
I waited under a maple tree to see who is coming
Beyond from where I sit is a clear horizon
I realized that I’m there sitting alone
My past memories just began to flash
I can’t do anything but to think back

The snow in the city was pouring heavily
I wasn’t used to go out and dance freely
Watching every drop makes me smile
But feeling it would maybe make me glad
I dreamt of sliding and gliding from a snow cap
Reaching the mountain foot will be the icing on top

After the white, pale season came the blooming one
Everything around is colorful and lovely
The trees are flourishing and growing taller
Leaves are returning and very promising
Along the walk way are the rows of flowers
I picked three and kept it forever

It’s time to turn the heat on
Sun rises as if it had never shone
My days are bright and glittering
While my nights are beautiful and blissful
The clear sky is taken over by two powerful heavenly bodies
I had the pleasure of experiencing both phases

The last fall I had was very memorable
I saw a leaf fall from the tree that is unshed able
Never thought that I was the lone witness
To a remarkable moment of excitement
But after one, two, or three leaves have fallen
No more leaves shedding that happened

It’s that time of the year again
And I am waiting for the first leaf to shed
I’ve been here for quite a while now
But I’m still willing to wait longer just to see a wow
It will be impossible if fall won’t happen
Coz my seasons will never be complete without one of them
