Lilibeth Apat

I feel kinda different,
Time to go home
My feet seem to have wings
My heart sings a happy tune.
...

If we can find the time to listen
To others on what they have to say
If we can find the time to reach out
To those who are in need
...

In my heart echoes the pain,
Hurt never heals in the rain,
Rain never quenches thirst, soul,
No balm for my numbed senses.
...

To love and be loved, the most wonderful experience
The feelings were intense when we first met
But never thought marriage was just a few months away
Until we were there to exchange vows and seal it with a kiss.
...

It’s not the big things that matter
It’s not the price of the gift you bring
It’s not how costly the card is
That makes the giving more sincere.
...

If I could only have my way
I’ll make both of us the happiest on earth
I know of how deeply I feel for you
Yet I can’t admit it, not now… not ever.
...

The unfathomable sea has a story
Secrets are kept in the heart of it
Many wish to go deeper
But those who dared always failed.
...

The Book says love is patient,
So why can’t I be to you?
It says love should be kind,
Do you feel that way, too?
...

When alone in solitude, to myself I ask,
Whatever happened to both of us?
Never noticed we were drifting apart
‘Til it was too late, ‘til you were gone.
...

I’m glad I found my walking buddy
Someone who would control me, gently
Someone who’d be there even in a downpour
To walk with me step by step, all the way.
...

It’s sad to lose something so good
I’m pained to do this, but I should
So hard to say goodbye, to be unkind,
I know you love me, you know I tried.
...

I could have been a cookie, I could have been a cake
I could have been a juice, even a cola drink
I could have been whatever people want me to be
But is that what I want? Would that have made me happy?
...

Things thrust your way, one after the other
You're not ready but you have to cope
Sometimes it's weird
When you're ready for some things
...

You were a bundle of joy in my arms
Sleeping peacefully while I held you close
Then you'd wake up and give your sweet smile
You never knew how it touched my heart.
...

Despite the hurts and pains
We can always find sunshine after the rain
There is always the brighter side of things
As there are two sides of a coin, they say.
...

I come home to an empty house, an empty room
There's no one about me, not a single soul
I've no one to talk to except someone on the phone
But it seldom rings, though I wish so hard it would.
...

There is a peace talk held today
The land's future is being decided
Everyone must keep his cool
Or all will end in a disastrous coup.
...

The past haunts me still
After all these years
How can I forget
And start life's next phase
...

It's wonderful when someone holds you so close
You can feel his heart throb next to yours
The doubts disappear before you
The emptiness inside vanishes, too.
...

Life is a ceaseless search for the good things;
The goodness in every man, every heart,
The good times one share with others,
The kind of life where one can do things without guilt.
...
