God

I try to know you. But my job is to just believe. The more I try to unravel you, the farther I feel from you. The farther I feel from you, the farther I feel from me. You are even when you're not. To believe in you is to believe in me. You are my faith. My faith is you. You are in me. I am in you. 

To love you, I have to love me and mine. I feel you in everything I feel. And isn't that the only way to know you? 

I kept looking for you in idols of clay and temples of stone. But I found you in fleeting moments. 

I tried to listen for you in chiming bells. But I heard you in my child's giggle. 

I wanted to talk to you via chants and prayers. I finally spoke to you via introspection. 

I wanted to understand you through science or religion. But I could only reach you through humanity. 

Promise Me

Even though our love is forever

This is where we must part

But before we kiss goodbye

Promise me…

Promise me I’ll always be your gal

Life’s a ruthless terrain

She snatches from us those we love

But before we move on

Promise me…

Promise me I’ll always be your gal

We’ll soon find love again

Only memories will still last

But before we part forever

Promise me…

Promise me I’ll always be your gal

Your promise will be my reason

To move on with a hopeful heart

And give love another chance

Coz even though everything else may change

I’ll know I’m still your gal.
