VISIBLE BOOK 2: SHADOW OF THE STARS
PROLOGUE
I’m like a shadow.
*Thank you for existing
Please call me, I’ll buy you food
I think I’m crazy these days
Girls wear things that make me cough cough, see right through, see right through…*
I always follow the light.
*(Very much) thank you! For improving my eye sight
(Natural LASIK) Don’t need to spend money on that
I’ll be in panic I’ll be a fan
And I’ll be a man of you you you you babe…*
Napakaingay ng paligid.
Nasa isang concert ako ngayon ng BTS at tahimik na nanunuod sa kanila mula sa mga upuan.
“BTS! BTS! BTS! BTS!” their fans chanted.
I smiled.
Talaga ngang…mas lalo pa silang sumisikat ngayon.
*My eyes keep turning to the girls (yup)
Girls are like an equation, us guys just do them (yup)
Wear them more, your high heels…*
Then I saw that handsome guy danced and sing in the stage.
He smiles like he always do. At nakikita kong ang saya-saya nya sa ginagawa nya.
*I’m 18, I know what I need to know
I know that girls are the best things in the world
Yes I’m a bad boy so i like bad girl
Come here baby, we’re gonna hit it off…*
Pero alam ko na sa dami ng mga taong nandito ay hindi nya malalamang pinapanuod ko sya.
Sa dami ng taong nakatingala sa kanya ngayon ay minsan ay nakakalimutan nyang nasa paligid ako at tahimik lang na nakamasid sa kanya.
*(Hello hello) (what!)
(Hello hello) (what!)
Tell me what you want right now…*
He is the star.
*(Hello hello) (what!)
(Hello hello) (what!)
Imma give it to you girl right now…*
He is the light.
*You’re not mine but you’re the best
My body twists and turns in front of you
I want to approach you but you’re seriously too beautiful…*
While I’am the shadow.
*Girls are the best present
My real wish is
Only you, only you…*
And just like a light, the more brighter he gets, the more the shadow disappears.
At hindi ko alam…
Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kalian ko ba kakayaning maging shadow lang sa isang star na katulad nya.
***************
I’am the light.
*it’s not mine but you are the best
my body doesn’t know how to act in front of you
I want to approach you but you are just too beautiful…*
My light always reaches other people.
My light always makes them happy…
Pero…
*women are the best
present present…*
…hindi ko na namamalayan na nasisilaw na ako sa sarili kong liwanag at hindi ko na makita ang shadow na laging nasa likuran ko…
*my real wish is
only you only you…*
Hinahanap ko sya mula sa stage pero hindi ko sya makita nang dahil narin sa dami ng tao na nanduon.
*if it’s you, I’m ok
oh I can’t resist everyday
Your front, back, all the best
from head to toe, best best…*
But even if how bright the light is, without its shadow, it become meaningless and loses its true meaning of existence.
******************
I’am the wall.
*la la la la la la la la la
Your front is the best, Your behind is the best
la la la la la la la la la
from head to toe, best best…*
I always catches the shadow.
I always protect its beauty.
Hinanap ko sya mula sa stage. At siguro malakas lang ang pakiramdam ko sa presence nya kaya nakita ko sya kaagad na nakangiting nakaupo at nakatingin sa direksyon ng lalaking mahal nya.
Pero…
*la la la la la la la la la
Your front is the best, Your behind is the best
la la la la la la la la la
from head to toe, best best…*
…sana dumating ang araw na ako naman ang tignan nya.
He is her light.
While I’am just her wall.
*(hello hello)(what!)
(hello hello)(what!)
tell me what you want right now…*
She always looked up to him.
While I always looked at her back and wished that she’ll turned around and look at me.
Even just once.
Even just a glimpse would be enough for me.
*(hello hello)(what!)
(hello hello)(what!)
imma give it to you girl right now*
I’am her wall.
But I hope someday…she’ll turned around and look at me as her light.
And when that time comes, I’ll do everything to keep the true beauty of the shadow…and never let her disappear.
Love is like a flower that grows in middle of the cold winter. You have to keep giving warmth into it so it will survive through the tough surroundings.
