I love you for listening
to the sound of my heart
that speaks of sadness
and grief.
I love you for erasing
the gruesome memories
my heart contained
for so long.
It is you who saved me
from the pit of depression
and suicide by slashing
my insecurities.
It is you who echoed to
my heart its new heartbeat
that made me a better man,
a better lover.

Aalagaan kita pero sana huwag ka nang lumaki.
Makontento ka na lang sanang hinahaplos kita.
Paghahaplos na punong-puno ng pag-iingat.
Maging masaya ka pa nga dapat na iniingatan kita.
Hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon ipagmamalaki kita
kahit ganoon ang pakikitungo ko sa iyo.
Mas kailangan kitang itago.
Nakakahiya ka.
Nakakainis ka.
Nakakayamot ka.
Nakakaasar ka.
Huwag ka nang bumalik sa akin para maayos na ang buhay ko.

“Could we be friends?”
The calculator asked the pen
“If you will just comprehend,”
The calculator answered the pen.
Let’s relate to each other
And talk about this important matter
I’m interested in numbers
And you’re interested in letters.
How could we be friends
If we’re not on the same end?
Let us not criticize,
Don’t you know we both analyze?
We analyze a certain subject
We solve problems about objects
You add ideas, I add numbers
I subtract figures, you subtract letters.
I multiply variables, you multiply details
I divide quantities, you divide mails
But we both construct statements
Well, we can now have our friendly moments.
