How Could I Say Goodbye?

29 October 2008 around 4pm
A beautiful warm sunny day.
In a quiet and secluded place in tune with nature.
The day I first laid my eyes on You...

After everything that happened...
I was supposed to hate you
And You weren't supposed to come
But You did.

It wasn't about what I saw,
Neither was it about the reason you came.
It wasn't about the uncertainty I was in.
It was You.

It wasn't about anything You said,
It certainly wasn't what you were wearing.
And definitely not with a friend you were with.
It's You.

It was surreal.
And it hits one down to the core.
It's funny and I agree.
But it's just magical.

It's unexplainable.
It's beyond what I've ever felt before.
For something or anyone.
It feels just like home.

I wanted to know more
I wanted to spend more time
I wanted the reasons for such a feeling
But the more I asked the more it became real.

I wanted to let it go...
I wanted to forget you...
Many times I tried and tried...
But I failed, and failed again and again...

So I let you stay...
It was sweet sorrow...
And since then It changed me...
Changed me forever in a profound way.

I don't know how this is going to unfold...
I don''t know how this is going to end...
I don't know where it's going to lead...
All I know is I Found You.

And everything seems to be okay...
Don't worry about me.
I'm happy and I'm doing very well...
And I hope you are too.

What I have is pointless...
What I do is irrelevant...
What I am is nothing...
In what I see in You.

Do me a favor...
Take care of yourself...
Come back in one piece...
I'm building our home.

Why?

Because You Came.

I always mean what I say...
You ought to know that by now.

I love you.

So tell me? How could I ever say goodbye?

Paano Mahalin ang Katulad Mo?


Di ko maikakaila ang pag-aalala
Na sa tuwi-tuwina’y dala-dala
Nangangamba, nangangamba
Na baka mapahamak ka


Dapat sarilinin ko na lang
Kayrami-rami mong pasan-pasan
Baka lalo ka pang mabibigatan

Itatago ko ang aking kaba


At ikukubli ang pangangamba
Ngunit sa dilim

Ay napapansin mo ang takot ko

Ang dinadaing koy para sa iyo


Ang unti-unting matutunan ko

Paano mahalin

Paano mahalin ang katulad mo


Di ko maikakaila ang pag-aalala
Ngunit di ba mas mahalaga
Ang dinggin ka, intindihin ka,
Samahan ka sa bawat pasya


Paano ba ako makakagaang
Paano ba ako makakatuwang
Paano kung ako ay nasasaktan


Itatago ko ang aking kaba

At ikukubli ang pangangamba
Ngunit sa dilim

Ay napapansin mo ang takot ko


Ang dinadaing koy para sa iyo
Ang unti-unting matutunan ko


(Counterpoint)

Paano ba ako makakagaang
Paano ba ako makakatuwang

Paano mahalin

Paano mahalin ang katulad mo


Interlude


Paano mahalin

Paano mahalin ang katulad mo



...missing you...
