I cling to my paper dreams and cuts
how being around you is like being drenched in the sun
when you leave all I can feel is the flowers that grow in that
they entwine my lungs, neither of us breathing each time you're leaving
you make yourself sound cold as ice and morning dew
but you encase me in starlight
you taste like honey and sound like sunshine
and I would take the batteries out of the clocks and sky and the watch on your wrist
to prolong every moment of mine that's yours too
every night flew on love unrequited and two sided laughter
If it were in my hands our lives would be aligned and undivided
stars in the same perspective
but it's not, so I hold to writing it as if it is
paper stories folding into paper flowers
I'll give you the day we meet
but you won't know to unfold them
and nothing more will ever be ours
that's a given either way
but I love you anyway

ikaw iyong lugar na
alam ko pa kung
paano puntahan
pero hindi ko na binibisita
ikaw iyong kanta
na saulado ko pa
ang liriko at melodiya
pero hindi ko na kinakanta
ikaw iyong lenggwahe
na naiintindihan ko pa
pero hindi ko na magawang
bigkasin pa
ikaw iyong tahanan
na lagi kong takbuhan
pero ngayon ay hindi ko na
dinadaanan
siguro marami na ngang nagbago —
may bago na akong alam
na lugar na hindi papunta sa'yo,
bagong musika na pinapakinggan ko,
bagong lenggwahe na saulado ko,
bagong tahanan na pinapahingahan ko,
pero kahit ganoon,
hindi pa rin maikakaila na,
kabisado pa rin kita
ㅤ
matagal din kasi kitang inaral kaya siguro ganito ---

Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames
If we know the steps anyway?
We embroidered the memories of the time I was away
Stitching, "We were just kids, babe"
I said, "I don't mind, it takes time"
I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
I've felt a glow like this never before and never since
