Wait for me

I came across my cousin's page on face book and read about a beautiful poem about waiting. I'd like to share it with you... For those of you who've given up on waiting, you may want to think again. 

It was written by Konstanin Simonov, a Russian war poet. The poem is about a soldier in war asking the love of his life to wait for him.

Wait For Me

Wait for me, and I'll return
Only wait very hard
Wait when you are filled with sorrow...
Wait in the sweltering heat
Wait when the others have stopped waiting,
Forgetting their yesterdays.

Wait even when from afar no letters come to you
Wait even when others are tired of waiting...
And when friends sit around the fire,
Drinking to my memory,
Wait, and do not hurry to drink to my memory too.

Wait. For I'll return,defying every death.
And let those who do not wait say that I was lucky.
They will never understand that in the midst of death,
You with you waiting saved me.
Only you and I know how I survived.
It's because you waited, as no one else did.

~ Konstantin Simonov

never the 1st choice

one day everything was fine

i thought you were mine

turns out my prince 

has someone else in mind.

never the first choice

never the princess

always the consolation prize

always the runner up.

thought i was more than that

have i done something wrong?

i don't know what to do

i don't know how you feel.

never the first choice

never the princess

always the consolation prize

always the runner up.

i've lost the reason to fight

we're on a different battle

you fight for her

while i fight for you.

never the first choice

never the princess

always the consolation prize

always the runner up.

i was never the first choice....

never at all...

blur

BLUR

staring at the horizon
(day)dreaming about the times we've spent
when i heard you said, don't ever let go

my heart beat faster (faster than ever)
then everything went into a blur
except for that tiny moment
i feel loved

it doesn't get any better than this
if you only knew
its always been you

my heart beat faster than ever
ans everything went into a blur
except for that moment
i was moved

daydreamer II

i haven't see you for the longest time
i hope everything's alright
it's been awhile
i do hope you're fine

missing you on a cheerful sunny day
longing for you in a blissful rainy night
nothing much to do but sigh
i know you belong with me

so i'll go to my happy perfect place
to dream...think...and escape with you
for in this my make believe world
everything is possible

i'll get to see you...to be with you..
to hold you till we grow old
and believe that destiny fated us together
for in my sanctuary, daydreams come true.

go on...

go on... move on...
never look back
'coz pain will stare right back
you deserve to be happy
not to worry
in time, not long from now
i might also find my own bliss


go on...move on...
never look back
head to where happiness awaits
get on with your life
don't think about me
i know i'll be free from this
i'll be fine



go on...i'm glad you've moved on

rediscovering me

Roller Coaster

Yesterday was a bliss

got a call from you

and I was really pleased.

But today, you're distant

and i really can't understand

you're making me sad.

I want you to stop,

quit fooling around

and make your stand.

im tired of this

crazy game we play

i want to get off this roller coaster highway.

Sablay

Gusto kita

Gusto mo rin ako

ngunit kailanman

di magiging tayo.

Talagang mapaglaro ang tadhana

tayo'y pinagtagpo

ngunit di pinagsama

pinagtambal ngunit di pinag-isa

Ngyon tanggap ko na

ang tadhanang nakalaan

na sadyang di tayo

maaring magkatuluyan.

*** last time i wrote a poem was in 1995, its been 13 years. i dont consider myself to be a poet, im just an ordinary girl who writes when im emotionally stressed out. and these past few days it's been an emotional roller coaster. but now, im okay. hopefully, i can still continue writing (even when im not sad) and continue to rediscover myself.
