Umabsent ako sa klase

I don't know
I've only just found out
That I belong nowhere
...
Five years ago
I threw a bottle into the sea
With a single message in it
And in my young mind
...
Even if you're gone
Even if there's nothing left
I will surely stay
...
If only I had the power
to turn your life completely around
I'd like it to be
on the first day you met me...
...
I have often thought that I was okay
in many ways more than one
but there were still things I couldn't say
and those that need to be done.
...
'Coz when things seem to be okay,
it's wen I find myself yet again at a loss.
I didn't know who I am,
...
I saw you
casually sauntering at the sidewalk
dragging your bag
in your school uniform
...
Things have come my way
in a blurry shade of gray
So dim I couldn't see
what lay ahead of me
...
One day
I will eventually soar
I will pick myself up from the earth
And let my wings take flight into the sky
...
When time has ceased its flow,
do not forget me.
Though the hands have frozen
and everything has turned gray,
...
I fled from you
and sought refuge in nothingness
trying to hide the memories in tow
trying to erase from my mind
...
I will take the pain
For the sake of a promise
I swear I won't cry
...
You'll stay with me, right?
Though our paths are not the same
Even if it's wrong?
...

Tapilok (Tagalog Translation Of 'Takilpo'
Umabsent ako sa klase
dahil nga pinag-utusan ako
ng titser namin
na bumili ng Gilbey's at four seasons
para makagawa ng punch.
Pero malas ko lang at natapilok ako
sa kalsada ng Colon
Lintik
hindi naman ako naka-heels ah
at hindi rin ako nakainom ng punch.
Bakit kaya?
Pero masakit iyon.
Grabe
Ang unang pangyayari.
Sa sumunod na araw
Lumakad lang naman ako
sa kabilang banda ng skul
Natapilok na naman ako
Walanghiya na yan ah
Kababae ko pa namang tao
Hindi ako marunong maglakad na parang dalaga?
Kahit saan
sa kalsada man o sa kanto
tapilok dito, tapilok doon
at namaga na tuloy ung kaliwa kong bukung-bukong
Lampa kaya ako?
Aba ewan.
Barang?
Sus ko po.
Ipagdasal mo na lang
na hindi na ako matapilok
huwag naman sana...
naka-heels pa naman ako ngayon.
Dahil isang pagkakatapilok na lamang
At lahat ay bubuhos
at hindi na mapipigilan
ang dinaramdam na matagal nang
kinikimkim.
