Do we need glasses to see each other's face?
Or long letters to feel each other's embrace?
Serenades and songs to hear our hearts' pace?
Now tell me, can you see my feelings in this space?

"The past is a road we've traveled, the present is where we stand, and the future is the path we choose."

Do we need eyeglasses just to see?
Long letters to read and hold with glee?
Serenades and songs for you and me?
Now tell me if feelings are something we can see?

Seems like fate's playing games with my heart,
Hours lost betting on love from the start,
It's so hard to play the game of love with art,
Sometimes I wonder if it's real or just a part.

No matter how you try to hide your heart,
You keep turning away like a mirror's art,
Your lips stay quiet, no words to impart,
Can't explain why you're still the one in my heart.

You are the subject of his poems,
The ink of his pen in future works,
The main character in his stories,
And the verses of his romantic themes.

Like cards in a never-ending game of chance,
In the middle of the sea with a voice that won't dance,
Old songs that still play but have lost their romance,
Let me love you tightly in a passionate trance.

"Memories of the past, like chains that bind,
A rope that tangles, a knot that's hard to unwind,
Let your wounded heart heal and find peace of mind,
And help your thoughts forget and leave the past behind."

Liars are the most honest to themselves.

Fighting for the state is patriotism.
Fighting without the state is nationalism.
Fighting against the state is rebellion.
But fighting with a state is a revolution.

Believing the "truth" is not wrong nor right.
It's a perception that could be a truth or a lie.
Like grains of rice or tears when you cry,
It can be either a victory or a battlecry.

Freedom of speech exists as you breathe.
It is limitless yet changed bit by bit.
It can be either in belief or in grief,
But anyone could be a culprit.

Are you blinded by the truth?
Or the truth blinded you?

Coincidence is either destiny or fate.
It is a time that climbs or life descends.
Listen again to the ones I said.
It is a simple phrase, "The coin incident."

Love with persuading is delusion from mannerism to norm.
But love with initiative is volunteerism but resulting to reform.

Mind conditioning is a virus in society.
It can be transmitted and revised with variety.
It has two sides, the lies and the truth.
But casualities are guaranteed, and that's the "youth."

Common sense is a "sense" that is not "common".

Anonymity is the enemy,
But the criticism is in equality.
It is not always an act of cowardness
But to avoid the lack of awareness.
