#UnsentLetterSeries

"Research" led me to Shakira Sison's "Unsent Letters".

Last September.. i sent mine.

On a daily basis since the day I sent it, I'd check my email hoping to see my letter published.

I got the surprise of my life yesterday when I checked my email.

The letter was published last October 28th.

some days...

...i feel empty
...i feel sad
...i think and say bad things about other people

for you.. a thousand times over...

some words left unspoken
some promises left broken
some moments left unshared
some memories forgotten

some poems left unwritten
some songs left unsung
some letters left unsent
some secrets kept

you were my beautiful chaos
masterly crafted in such a way that brings awe and fear
you were an irony of emotions and everything in between
it's either we sink, or we swim...

Ang Pagbabalik

madalas...
nakakalimot ang isang tao
sa mga bagay na halos bumuo ng kaniyang pagkakakilanlan

ilang taon man ang lumipas
mananatili ang ugong ng nakaraan
na magbabalik
at muling magpapa-pintig ng pusong
matagal na hindi tumibok

magbabalik
ang mga pangarap na makailang-ulit
na nilubog ng kasalukuyan

at tulad ng along muli't-muling hahampas sa dalampasigan
gaya ng minsang awit na nalimutan

ang daluyong ng unang pag-ibig
ay manunumbalik
mas maalab
mas matapang
