I spent three –

Three hours of waiting,
The day you told me, you'll fetch
Me for your birthday
I trusted you,
When you said "Akong bahala sa'yo."
Three hours of waiting,
But you never came,
I demanded answers,
Maybe you had a problem?
And all you've said was
"Wala na eh. Tapos na."


I spent three –

Three years of waiting,
I know you still love her.
Elisha, she satiates your hunger,
Hunger for love, for validation
You're with her for 7 years,
Who am I to bother?
You brighten up my life,
But she is your inspiration.

I'm ready to wait, however,
Though it takes me forever.
What's the worth of my childish martyrdom?

Simple.

You.
