Believe, Trust, Faith... ~ Angelita Tenorio

I love you, I love you, I love you…

I could say these words a million times,

I could yell it at the top of my lungs amidst a million people,

I could whisper it moment by moment,

Second by second to you…

but….

Will you believe it?

or rather,

Could I believe it?

Could I believe myself that I truly feel these words?

Could I stay beside you without ever wishing I should be somewhere else?

Could I trust myself when I say I love you?

Could I trust,

these words come straight from the deepest of my heart?

Could I trust,

these words are the whispers of my soul?

and not a wishful thinking of something beautiful?

or a surge of emotional whim?

I love you, I love you, I love you….

How beautiful,

How wonderful,

But…

I wonder,

Do I truly feel it?

Or I am just imagining…

Why ~ Angelita Tenorio

Why do people fear what they don’t know?

Why do they detest that which and who they can’t understand?

Why do they despise those who and which are different?

His color may be darker than ours,

Her physical features may not be as ours,

And may be less or more than normal,

We may not understand his language,

Or she may not be able to verbally express herself,

And uses her fingers to communicate instead,

He may walk with crutches,

She may move through the aid of a wheel chair,

Why the air of rejection?

Why the reaction of distaste,

Why the attitude of despise, detest?

Why the mockery?

Why do we have to despise, reject and mock those who are and which are different?

Why do we fear those that we do not know and do not understand?

Them who are different,

Have you ever thought putting yourself in their shoes?

How would you feel knowing then, that as they see us different, they too despise, reject and mock us?

Would you be so happy knowing that someone has judged you before they even knew you,

simply because you are different?

And don’t you think we are as much different to them as they are to us?

Don't ~ Angelita Tenorio

you've robbed me off of who i am,
that i may not have an identity...

you've taken away my self-worth,
that i may not be able to respect me...

your demeaning words took my sight,
that i may not see the road to life...

your insecurity bounded my feet,
that i may not be able to walk to the light...

you tell me,
you think of me, do you?

you tell me you love me,
really?

don't try to fool me,
you can't...

i have a mind of my own,
i am no stupid at all...

i see what you wanted to happen,
i see what you wanted to make of me...

don't....

you're only making me hate you,
you're only making me resent you..

don't hold me back...

from who i am,
from what i am....

don't hold me back...

from walking my life,
from living life...

let go of me, let me be,
as life define my being to be...

don't...
make me wish for a life without you.

Heartbeat ~ Angelita Tenorio

one, two, three,
I'm counting my heartbeat.
tic, tic, tic, tic...
as time pass me by,
I'm counting my heartbeat.

dub, dub, dub,
my heart continues to beat...
even without you,
even if you're not here with me.

my heart beating,
the clock ticking its seconds away,
am here, staring, watching
life passing by without you...

darling,
how long has it been?
how long could have been?
that I'm living life without you...
that my heart beating without you.

how many empty heartbeats my darling,
will i count more,
till i see you again...

how long ...
will my heart wait more?
my darling....
how long?

Love

Love was when i first saw you,
your cute little hands,
your wrinkled little face...

Love was when I first heard you cry,
your sweet little cry,
telling me you need me,
telling me you want to feel me...

Love is as I watch you grow everyday,
from the tiny baby in the hospital,
to a curious kid you are now.

Love is you my baby, my child...
and the moment you came into my life,
was the moment my life became complete...

And now, my life is no longer about me,
my life is no longer about what will make me happy,
My life is now about Love..
My life is now about You...
I love you Gean, Anne, I love you...

My friends Thank You

Thank you…
I know these words will never be enough,
To express how grateful I am,
For having you as my friends,
And even if I add the words “very much”,
Still, it wouldn’t be enough…

Your kindness,
Your caring,
Your love…
I know I will never ever find friends like you in my life ever again.

Friends who truly cared,
Friends who truly loved,
Friends who were always there,
That even when the world turned its back on me,
You never did, instead…
Your love became stronger than ever…

Friends who gave more than they could give,
Friends who shared not only friendship,
But friends who shared themselves,
Friends who shared life itself.

And I could go on and on
Enumerating how great friends you are,
The great things you did for me,
And still it wouldn’t be enough
To fully describe
How blessed I am,
You are my friends.

And words will also never be enough
To express how grateful I am for you,
And even if I would give out my heart a hundred times,
Still, it wouldn’t be enough.
To show how thankful I am,
You are my friends…

And so my Dearests,
I shout to the world,
I have been greatly blessed,
I have been greatly favored by the Lord,
He gave me friends like you…

in my mind

as I watch the buses pass by,
through the glass walls of this store,
I ask myself
in this highway of life,
until when should I keep journeying
till I reach YOU....
till I get to YOU.....

I love YOU,
you may seem to be a million miles away,
you may seem to be a universe away,
in my heart,
in my mind,
You're with me...

I can touch YOU,
I can hold YOU,
I can feel YOU...

I can hold YOUR face,
I can kiss YOUR smile,
I can run my fingers through YOUR hair,
I can feel my hands wrapped by yours,

in these moments,
when I just sit here,
watching cars and buses pass me by,
I close my eyes,
and you're with me....

I am Grateful

I am grateful to my God,
He gave me you,
My Gean,
My Anne,
The love of my life....

I praise my God,
you're my child,
my Gean,
my Anne,
my life....

my babies,
my dear babies,
next to God,
you are the most important in my life...

i love you.....

My All

my all is YOU,
my everything is YOU
my life is YOU.

every inch of me,
every drop of my blood,
every breath that i take,
all for YOU,
everything for YOU.

all of my heart,
all of my mind,
all of my thoughts,
all of my strength,
all for YOU,
everything for YOU.

i love YOU,
i live for YOU,
my LORD,
my GOD.
