My Eyes Adore You

I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You

I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.

Is it possible to be "just friends" with someone I have this sort of non-moderate feelings for? Or am I doomed forever to just be in love and ultimately, significantly hurt?

XVII

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Pablo Neruda

Oo - Up Dharma Down

Di mo lang alam naiisip kita
Baka sakali lang maisip mo ako
Di mo lang alam hanggang sa gabi
Inaasam makita kang muli

Nagtapos ang lahat sa di inaasahang
Panahon at ngayon ako'y iyong iniwang
Luhaan, sugatan, di mapakinabangan
Sana nagtanong ka lang kung di mo lang alam
Sana’y nagtanong ka lang kung di mo lang alam

Ako’y iyong nasaktan
Baka sakali lang maisip mo namang
Hindi mo lang alam kay tagal na panahon
Ako’y nandirito pa rin hanggang ngayon para sa’yo

Lumipas man ang araw na ubod ng saya
Di pa rin nagbabago ang aking pagsinta
Kung ako’y nagkasala patawad na sana
Ang puso kong pagal ngayon lang nagmahal

Wooh, di mo lang alam ako'y iyong nasaktan
O baka sakaling lang maisip mo naman
Puro siya na lang…sana’y ako naman
Di mo lang alam ikay minamasdan
Sana’y iyong mamalayan
Hindi mo lang pala alam hindi mo lang alam

Kahit tayo'y mgkaibigan lang
Bumabalik lahat sa tuwing nagkukulitan
Baka sakali lang maisip mo naman
Ako’y nandito lang hindi mo lang alam
Matalino ka naman

Kung ikaw at ako ay tunay na bigo
Sa laro na ito ay dapat bang sumuko
Sana’y di ka na lang pala aking nakilala
Kung alam ko lang ako’y iyong masasaktan ng ganito
Sana’y nakinig na lang ako sa nanay ko

Di mo lang alam akoy iyong nasaktan
O baka sakaling ngang maisip mo naman
Puro siya na lang..sana’y ako naman
Di mo lang alam ika’y minamasdan
Sana’y iyong mamalayang
Hindi mo lang pala alam oh

Malas mo
Ikaw ang natipuhan ko
Di mo lang alam ako’y iyong nasaktan

march 18 - zzubu, cebu city - past 5 in the morning

something went inside me that made me realize that whatever i feel for you is not going to be worth it. i want myself to let go of this nonsense, if only my heart would stop smiling at the mere sight of you..
