The Tides Stood Still

 

You,

You are the type of person I can’t let go of

You are the type of love that I look for no matter where I go

But you are the mistake,

That I will make over and over again,

Because you are the type of love that has no sense, no embarrassment, and has no real reason,

But it’s you that I find myself running to,

It’s you,

 

While I on the other hand,

I am the type of love you never look for,

I am the type of person that is easy to let go of

And you would never take a second glance at me,

But it’s always like that

Isn’t it?

 

Pero mahal, ikaw, mahal ko, ikaw,

Ikaw ang liwanang sa pinaka dilim na gabi,

You are the northern star of my sky,

You are the beautiful sun that warms me,

But I

I am the darkness that accompanies the rain

 

And as you whisper these sweet nothings into my ear,

I scream I love you,

Mahal kita,

Kahit anong mangyari,

Kahit saan, kahit kailan,

Mahal na mahal kita

I will always love you,

But this time you scream back louder and prouder than you ever before,

Us is over,

Wala na tayo,

Get over yourself,

 

This time your sorry cannot fix the broken heart on the ground,

Your please forgive me cannot pick me up,

Your goodbye is an insensitive gratitude,

And your I love you is a distant memory,

 

But every now and then I ask myself,

Why did you let go

As if you were the only one holding on

Why did you sail into the never ending ocean of love

Of which my tides stood still

 

It is true what they say, what they all say

That you are so much stronger than I,

That you are so much more than I

Because I lost myself, in order to love you

I lost myself

But it’s okay because I love you.
