HEART BEAT

Since My Heart Says So

I was sitting in a red cab watching every car

My mind wandered to somewhere very far

Cherishing a memory which I know I  should not

Wishing for a single glimpse though I know you would not.

I looked everywhere taking a little chance

If you could just be there my heart would really dance

I scolded myself for such a foolish thinking

Unfortunately I ended up dreaming.

OK , first thing first before anything else

Just do your job and give God the rest

It's what my mind keeps on screaming

For this heart of mine keeps on reasoning.

Oops! Look who's here, am I only dreamin '?

My heart gets wild and I shivered within

Perhaps it was the cold that I wanted to run inside

But no, it isn't for it was the feelings that I wanted to hide.

Just the sight of you I get lost of words

Like a mountaineer who was lost in the woods

I wanted to smile yet afraid to try

And now all I wanted to do is to get away and fly.

I was in a conversation when you passed by

You stopped for a while and you say hi

I can no longer gather myself together

Your very smile makes my guards shattered.

Looking for an excuse where I could break the ice

For you might be able to read it from my eyes

The feelings that I really tried to hide for so long

I am scared to death that it might be known.

My mind says don't but my heart can't tell

What should be done, his hand is on the wheel!

While waiting for his turn he looked around and found me watching

He waved and said goodbye before he went to his way smiling.

Himig ng Nakatagong Pintig

Sa bawat pag-ihip ng hanging pang gabi

Nagugunita ko sa aking sarili

Ala-alang pilit binaon sa limot

Noo'y pangarap, naging masalimuot.

Ipikit ko man ang aking mga mata

Simoy ng hangi'y nanadya sa tuwina

Pinupukaw ang nanahimik kong puso

Kupas na pangarap ang siyang tinuturo.

Isipan ko'y pagkalito'y umaapaw

Tantanan sana't diwa'y 'di na maligaw

Damdamin ko ngayo'y nag-aatubili

Makikipagsapalaran ba o mananatili?

Lumalalim na yaong gabing tahimik

Hihip ng hangin sa'kin pa'y humahalik

Munting pag-asa wari ba'y ibinulong

Sa hangaring noon pa ma'y nakakulong.

Hangad na pinagkaitan ng unawa

Himig nito'y tumatangay sa'king diwa

Bawat pintig sa pangamba'y lumulupig

Gumigising sa nahimbing na pag-ibig.
