"Ako'y Para Lamang Sa'Yo"
by Sarah Geronimo

The Great Unknown

Nasaan ka ba
Nasa mabuti ka bang kalagayan
Naaalala mo kaya ang ating mga pinagsamahan
Di ko alam kung ba't pinaghiwalay pa ng tadhana
Ang laging dasal sa Maykapal ay ika'y alagaan

Pinangakong hindi ka iiwan
Sa pangarap ikaw ang kasama
Hinayaang ikaw ay lumisan
Sana'y malaman mo na

[Chorus:]
Ako'y para lamang sa'yo
Kailanma'y di ito magbabago
Kahit san ka pa naroroon, sinta
Di titigil hanggang makapiling kang muli
Ikaw ang sigaw ng puso ko
Ako'y para lamang sa'yo

Nasaan ka araw-araw kang nasa'king isip
At tuwing gabi ay nariyan ka sa bawat panaginip
Pag-ibig sayo'y di titigil
Kahit pa mundong ito ay maglaho
Kapalaran ko'y nariyan sa piling mo
Di susuko sa paghanap sa'yo

[Chorus]

Umaasang muling makapiling ka
kailangan kita sa aking buhay
Hanggang mamatay hahanapin ka't maghihintay

Ako'y para lamang sa'yo
Kailanma'y di ito magbabago

[Chorus]

RAIN

Ang sabi nila kapag nakuha mo na raw ang lahat ng gusto mo sa buhay ay magiging masaya ka na. Wala ka na raw hahananin pang iba. Pinaniwalaan at pinanghawakan ko ang paniniwalang iyon mula nang bata ako, nang mag-umpisa akong matutong mangarap sa buhay. 

And here I am reaping the rewards of my hard work. I am successful. Many people celebrate my name and love me unconditionally. They even cry with me during tough times. I shall say I am lucky to be here. To be who I am.

Rain, the Pop Superstar. It's my name and my title. Others call me Queen while some tagged me Big. Funny how everytime they look at me, they see a showbiz royalty. When people see me, they see a perfect woman who has everything she could ever ask for. I have fame. I have fortune. I have a loving family. I have friends who are willing to protect me. I have fans who are willing to fight for me.

But why is it that every moment I am alone and awake, I feel like everything's falling apart inside me? Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for all the blessings that God gave me through all this time.

It's just... there are times like this when I can't help but ask myself... what's next?

What do you still want in life, Rain? What do you really want to do? Are you really happy?

And the answers? I still can't find them.

Liar, said someone inside me.

You know what you want. You know who you want.

You are just too afraid to admit it even to yourself. 

No, I argued. 

Even though my heart is beating so fast whenever this person inside me speaks up.

This person who keeps on telling me who I want.

You want him. You wanted him and you still want him, she appealed.

Stop, I told the person inside. Please stop.

I don't want him. I don't want Jayden back.
