PATAWAD, PAALAM

Nakatulong ba nung lumayo ako
'Di ba 'yon naman ang 'yong ginusto
Simula pa no'n, kahit hanggang ngayon
Lahat ng daan ay pabalik sa'yo

Balang araw ay makikita mong
'Di kailangan lumayo (kinailangang lumayo)
Kung paglisan lang ang paraan
Patawad
Paalam
Kahit nasa'n ka man

Nariyan pa ba ang pinangarap ko
Na aking tinalikuran para mabuo
Bakit ganon kahit sa'n lumingon
Lahat ng daan ay pabalik sa'yo

Balang araw ay makikita mong
'Di kailangan lumayo (kinailangang lumayo)
Kung paglisan lang ang paraan
Patawad
Paalam
Kahit nasa'n ka man

Oooh oooh oooh

Nahanap nga sarili mo
Nawala naman ako
Masisisisi mo pa ba
Kung ako'y sususuko na

Hindi mo man mapakinggan
Ang aking mga dahilan
Matatanggi mo bang
Mahal na mahal kita

Sa aking paglayag
Tiyak ika'y masasaktan
Hangad ko'y maintindihan
'Di maintindihan

Na sa tamang panahon
Hinding-hindi na iiwan
Kung 'yong pagbibigyan muli
'Di kayang pagbigyang muli
Kahit anong gawin
'Di na mababalik ang dati

Paalam, salamat
Salamat sa lahat

Balang araw ay makikita mo
'Di na sana lumayo ('Di ka sana lumayo)
Kung paglisan lang ang dahilan
Sa ating hangganan
Ikaw pa rin sana

I could have loved you until now but I chose not to. Coz I realized, the day I let you go was the day I let myself grow. God bless you! 😊❤

When the time comes for us, and destiny is no longer against us, will you be mine?

May your broken hearts heal to all pain. Sending hugs to everyone whose broken out there✊❤️

[daikkie]

Part of maturity is learning to love people from a distance. Keeping their well-being by taking the path away from them and praying for their happiness.

Praying for her. May God's love comfort her through this process. Masama man o mabuti, Diyos lang ang nakakaalam.

[vincearao]

I loved you too early, now I suffer the consequences. I will still be waiting here silently supporting you in all your decisions. May our hearts meet once again in the future, farewell my moon:)

“I didn’t leave because I stopped loving you. I left because the longer I stayed the less I love for myself”

[jehveesoriano]

It's amazing how you can write two situations in one song.

Patawad:
Patawad kasi kelangan kong lumayo.
Patawad kasi kelangan kong mabuo.
Patawad kasi akala ko maiintindihan mo.
Patawad kasi akala ko mahihintay mo ko.
Patawad kasi napagod ka na.
Patawad pero mahal na mahal lang naman kita.
Paalam. Salamat.

Paalam:
Paalam kasi akala ko ito ang kelangan mo.
Paalam kasi akala ko yun ang gusto mo.
Paalam at sana maintindihan mo.
Paalam kasi napagod na ako.
Paalam at ako'y susuko na.
Paalam pero alam mong mahal na mahal kita.
Patawad. Salamat.

One day, the universe will bring you to the one you're destined to.
Even if that person hurts you the most.
Even if that person cuts you the most.
Because the universe know that you'll still choose love.
And love will heal you.

[henrydelrosario]

Yung feeling na wala kang masabihan na nasasaktan kana. Tapos dito nalang sa comment section mo mailalabas mga hinanakit mo sa buhay. Sadness my friend come to me. :(

[angelyncalamba]

It hurts the most when the person that made you feel special yesterday makes you feel so unwanted today. 💔

[angelolopez]

minsan mas masakit yung naghiwalay kayo hindi dahil sa 3rd party pero dahil sa napagod na kayong mahalin ang isat isa, na wala ka ng choice kundi sumuko kasi mas nasasaktan nyo lang ang isat isa. salamat sa 8yrs. patawad sa lahat and now im willing to let you go not because i don't love you anymore pero dahil ramdam kong hindi na ako ang lalaking kailangan mo.
don't know kung mababasa mo to. :)

Read till the end.

I'm not really fond of listening to any songs lately but something pushed me to click the play button and listen to this one: "Patawad, paalam." By Moira and I belong to the zoo.

And then I wondered how did they come up with the title "Patawad, paalam"? Why didn't they go for "Paalam, patawad" instead? Would that make any difference?

Ah yes. I've been so bored lately that I tend to ask myself a lot of silly questions and then look for an answer just to keep my brain working but this one's by far the most worth sharing. It's quite long tho so I'm asking for forbearance.

"Patawad, paalam"

It's a sad song, atleast that's what I thought but to my surprise this song just made me so happy and proud of myself like never before.

Indeed, one song is capable of bringing back a thousand memories,

I was smiling like an idiot while listening to it. I remember saying these words "Patawad" and "Paalam" countless times before. Not just to someone, but also to my old self, to my old way of life, and to my past, in general.

Though, I didn't know which of them should go first or if that even matter, all I ever wanted to do is to let go.

And I thought I would never make it. I thought holding on is always the right thing to do and not giving up is much easier than letting go. I just need to keep on trying

So I tried and tried until I finally got to ask myself,

What do you do after you've given all that you have and you have nothing left to give? After you've tried and you've tried, and you've cried and you cried, and that day finally comes when you realize that this is not how you want to live your life. What do you do?

And I knew the answer to that ⁠— let go.

But how do I let go?

In my own thoughts, I said "you say good bye"

So I decided to say good bye to everyone and everything to overcome the pain. I thought that was enough and already got the point but things just don't really get solved by that. They come together for a time and then they fall back apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that. It became a cycle which made me realize that something's wrong or something's missing.

What is it? What is in this wind? What is this storm trying to tell me?

Honestly, I had the idea but I kept on denying it that time. I consciously missed the most vital and said to be the first step of letting go, which is to FORGIVE and ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.

I didn't want to forgive them and I didn't know how to ask for forgiveness to others and to myself more so.. I thought I don't need to do it. I thought keeping the hatred burning in me will push me to keep going. Little did I know, it was the heaviness of hatred that made my life even more unbearable.

It took me a long time to understand what it means to forgive. And after a lot of soul searching, I realized that forgiveness is the greatest form of strength. And that very strength you got from forgiving yourself and others are what you will need to let go fully.

So I eventually forgave what I couldn't forget and that's when miracles started coming into my sight about a year ago, which made me smile thinking about that now cause who would have thought!? I made it yo!!!

This song just reminded me that you can't expect to be fine after saying goodbye to the things that hurt you without forgiving what has hurt you first. No matter how you slice it, it will just haunt you over and over again. Believe me, been there.

"Let go" ⁠—2 words with 5 letters. Sounds so simple. Wished it was that easy, but it will never be. However, once you did it, only then you can truly be happy and free.

So why not "Paalam, patawad"?

I found the answer to that!

They made the right choice for going with "Patawad, paalam" and it can never be the other way around

—dahil bago mo maramdaman ang totoong kahulugan at kalayaan kasunod ng bawat "paalam", kailangan mo muna bigkasin ang salitang "patawad" at matutong magbigay ng kapatawaran.

And that's how my version of "patawad, paalam" ends.

[socialmediaaccounts]

This song reminds me of a wattpad story entitled 'Baka Sakali' by Jonaxx. Juan Antonio is inlove by Priscilla or Precy since highschool, but unfortunately they broke up, because Precy needs to go to Manila to study education. But then Precy didn't come back the reason why Juan Antonio started to hate her because he can't leave Alegria.
The moment Juan Antonio lives in Manila, he met Cielo. He came back in Alegria with Cielo who was pregnant with his child. He truly loves Cielo but when Samuel asked him if he got to replace Precy in his heart, he said "Iba si Precy". According to Samuel, it was fierce love. A love that is very fierce that only some people can experience. It involve risk. It will involve bending, bending hard and breaking. There are also love that can make you feel happy and secured. It gives you peace and security. A love that won't need to risk too much because it's a sure win. Because of that, Juan Antonio said that Cielo gave him peace of mind. Then I realized, there are some love that is not worth to fight for. If that love is very hard for you to handle, then let go. If that love only give you tears, then stop. There are someone who can give you the love that you deserve. Precy may be the fierce love of Juan Antionio but Cielo will always be the one who he chose for a lifetime. Precy is different and so as Cielo. In the end, it's the choice you make.

[ginnyblancaflor]

It's the most painful part of love. To let go of the person you love and to let yourself grow and heal from all the pain. #padayon

Goodbye is the hardest thing to say to someone who means the world to you, especially when goodbye isn’t what you want.

"Talo na ako"

Dati tatawa-tawa lang ako kapag nag aaway kami, nag tatalo o hindi mag kaintindihan tapos nung sinasabi ng iba na "maghihiwalay din kayo".

Di ako naniwala.

Kase may tiwala ako sa salitang "mahal nya naman ako, di na nya ako iiwan"

nagbulag-bulagan ako, napapagod na pala sya. Hindi ko siniseryoso ang away, unti-unti na syang pinanghihinaan ng loob.

Nakakatulugan ko ang bawat gabing pag-tatalo, unti-unti nyang minumulat ang mga mata nya sa katotohanan. Buo pa ako noon pero sya paubos na.

Di ko namalayan, akala ko matatag sya pero di na nya kinaya.

Nagulat ako sa biglaang pagsuko nya.

Nagtaka, napaisip, nagtanong kung bakit sya sumuko.

Naalala ko lahat, lahat ng pagbabalewala ko sa kanya. Kahit sa maliliit na bagay. Nakasanayan nya ung mga magagandang bagay nanagawa ko noon na hindi ko na ginagawa ngayon...

Kahit sa maliliit na bagay.

"Nawalan ako ng ganang gawin ang mga yun para sa kanya."

Pero noon pala umaasa sya...

Umaasa sya "na sana bumalik ang dating init ng pagmamahal at pagsuyo ko noon"..

Pero di na nya kinayang mag hintay. Pagod na sya at di ko nakita ang senyales noon. Sumuko sya di dahil ayaw nya na.

"Sumuko sya dahil alam nya kung ano ang tama. Para sa aming dalawa."

Ngayon lagi akong tulala. Sya panay post ng mga magagandang larawan ng bago nyang minamahal. Talo ako. Kase nabalik ng bago nya ung dati nyang ngiti.

Mali, hinigitan pa nya.

Masaya ako para sa kanila. Titingin nalang muna ako sa mga larawan nila. Baka balang araw ako naman din ang ngingiti gaya ng sa kanya..


..o baka hindi na.

Sinayang ko yung taong totoong nagmahal sakin.

"Talo na ako."

"Letting go is the hardest yet the most satisfying healing for your self". Ito kasi yung moment na alam mong walang kasiguruhan kung tama ba ang naging desisyon mo/ninyo but you choose to believe na may Dios na handang gumabay sa paglalakbay mo. Sa journey mo to healing and loving your own self. Sa mga may pinagdaanan diyang, praying for your healing🙏💕. God will always stay with you and will never let you go.

[isang.kakaibabe]

i thought i could last a day without you but i didn't. your presence still lingers to every songs i listen to and i'm afraid to face the fact that you are now with someone else's home. i am really sorry for being chained by uncertainty that i couldn't shelter you from harm.
