Tell me where did I go wrong?

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ka ganyan, mahirap kausapin at di pa namamansin.

Sana, yakapin mo akong muli, kahit sandali, kahit isang saglit…

Hangga’t may umaga pa na haharapin, ikaw lang ang mamahalin.

Kaytagal mo nang nawala, babalik ka rin…

Ang lahat ng aking galaw, ang sanhi  ---ay ikaw!

The closer I get to touching you, the closer I get to loving you, give it time just a little more time so we can get closer, You and I.

Now I know that we could have it all…forever.

I’ll be there to love you so….you are my song!
