Your Poem
Last night prom, you wore a green dress
And, you are not just a princess
You’re a queen, dancing with your 'King'
Yet, I’m just here, alone, longing
From the Disney movie, Frozen
You are the Elsa and Anna
My heart froze when my chat was sent
Yet, it didn’t work like karma
For I didn’t call you, Ashley
And that is why, and just maybe
That is why you never looked at me
You know I’m just dumb and silly
I tried to drink, product from Spain
Alfonso, the one and only
Just to forget all of this pain
Oh, Why did I act foolishly?
Grey Den
Grade 10 nung nangyari ang first time ko
It’s very nice to meet someone like you
I’m just so blessed that I met my dream girl
Ang ganda nya talaga, look at her
Second day palang gusto ko na kita
Di ko maexplain ang iyong ganda
Para bang ikaw ay isang anghel
T.L. na ako sayo, what the hell
Yet, meron akong maling akala
Mga eye contacts wala palang kwenta
I just thought na may gusto ka saken
Kaya ako nag message at umamen
Well, I don’t know, siguro’y sinadya
Give up nalang, olats na talaga
At least I learned na di ko pa kaya
Makausap ang isang 'Prinsesa'
Fres Kwater
First Quarter pa lang, T.L. na kagad
Tanging ikaw lang ang hinangad
Isang napakagandang 'Prinsesa'
Yes, I want you, oo, gusto kita
When I stare at your ineffable eyes
I realized that I’m in paradise
Di ko gets ang aking nadarama
Para bang may hiwaga kang dala
Sobrang in love ko, ako’y sumulat
Tulang para sayo, at inulat
Nasabi ko ang gustong sabihen
Tapos, nirate mo pa sila ng ten
Ngunit hindi nag apply ang karma
Nag-assume lang ako, parang tanga
Tapos, nag iba narin ang tema
Ang dating saya ay malungkot na
Sek Onwarter
Second Quarter, I don’t know what to do
Bakit ba ako magkakaganito
Iniisip ko buong araw ang 'salamat' mo
Ano ba itong nadarama ko
Nagets ko na rin, sa tagal-tagal
Ika’y may iba napalang mahal
Gayunpaman, wala na talaga
Nawala na ang aking 'Prinsesa'
Ngunit iba ang iniisip ko
Sabi ng utak ko na ayaw mo ako
Iba ang sinasabi ng puso
Bakit mo ba ako ginugulo?
Ayaw nang tingnan ang ‘yong mga mata
Sila ay nakakabaliw tingnan
Iba pala ang iyong hiwaga
Problemang di ko masolusyonan
Dertkarter
Third Quarter, nagseatmate pa tayo
Para ba namang pinlano ito
May pag-asa pa ba ulit ako?
Ang naisip ko sa ‘king bobong ulo
So, I just thought I should ask you again
Yet, ang resulta ay wala paren
Iba talaga ang nadarama
I realized it's done na talaga
Ngayon tanggap ko na talaga, pero
I still don’t think these are coincidence
Thanksgiving letter ang sinulat ko
I can and I’ll still wait for you, my 'Princess'
I realized that it's just my first time
So, there is nothing really in my mind
Wala pang alam kung ano ang love
I lost, cause my knowledge wasn’t enough
Poyswafer
Fourth Quarter, ang daming naganap
I just learned that I really want you
At ikaw lang ang pinapangarap
I'll wait for you till 2032
Fourteen is yet, my favorite number
It is the day you received the letter
Valentine’s, wala akong nabigay
Ni bulaklak, walang naialay
Nang dumating ang JS prom natin
Biglang iba ang ihip ng hangin
Ika’y sinasayaw na ng iba
Ako'y wala nang magagawa pa
T.L. pa rin, gusto parin kita
Yes, gusto ko ng kalimutan ka
I just thank God for the experiences
He gives, and He takes away a 'Princess'
MaybIfs
Maybe, I’ll remember you forever
It is really just my first time ever
I don't even know how I will confess
And maybe that’s why I lost my 'Princess'
And If that is the reason you follow
Then I could die today and tomorrow
Because there’s nothing more reason for me
For next days I’ll just act more foolishly
Or maybe, it is just not the right time
Or maybe, you have someone in your mind
It’s not ‘maybe’ anymore cause it's true
Well, I don’t know, I don’t even know you
If I already really accepted it
Then why the fuck I cannot quit this shit?
Well, there's nothing to say but ‘bye’ I guess
Yet, maybe I’ll just meet my right 'Princess'
AywoT
I know that I really really like you
And what I knew is you don’t like me too
And I knew that I’m just another fool
Liking someone ineffably beautiful
I know, we never shared a memory
Yet, your absence is what I will carry
I know this is the end of my journey
I know we weren't and will never be
I know God has a plan, that is my fate
I will follow his plan, that is my faith
Yet, I know that I still need to thank you
With you, I knew that I hate myself too
I know that I don’t know how to confess
It’s not the right time, and yet I transgress
Then I just created myself a mess
And I know that’s how I lost my 'Princess'
