Maybe

Maybe if we can just utter what's inside our hearts,
it wouldn't hurt that much.

Maybe we don't need to suppress our feelings,
keep it in a box that nobody would know and let it fades.


Maybe we're not brave enough to accept rejections,
thus we can't take risks.


Maybe we're still in the maze, finding the right path,
so we could meet.

Maybe the seed of waiting is not yet ripe
 and rushing yields bittersweet fruit.

Maybe we're a thousand miles away
and it's improbable to walk together.

or maybe it's not worth fighting and pursuing?



I hope we can find the answers 
between our maybes and if not,
just let it be.

Just like the sun's rays penetrate
when the sky is bright.

Just like the rain pour out 
when the sky is bleak.

Just like the trees dance
when the wind blows.

and

Just like our hearts fit
when our beats meet.

 just let it be.

It is unsafe, most of all, to let your emotions take over your sensibilities. As Proverbs 6:27 says, "Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?"

Minsan

Minsan pinili ko ang sarili ko At iwan lahat ng bigat. Minsan pinili ko ang sarili ko At di makinig sa lahat ng ligalig. Minsan pinili ko ang sarili ko At limutin lahat ng sakit. Minsan pinili ko ang sarili ko At talikuran ang kahapon. Minsan pinili ko ang sarili ko At wag mangamba sa […]
