Some words are just as heavy as it was last time to say out loud, so I kept them…
This is for my brother — a memory, a conversation that never really ended, and a promise that even as the world keeps moving, I (we) will never forget him.
I wrote these words then used Suno AI to breath music to it, thought it captured how I really felt. What used to live quietly in my notes and thoughts is now something I can finally share with anyone who has lost someone they love and learned how to keep living while carrying their absence every day.
This was the beach we walked too years ago in one of our spontaneous getaways. The footsteps, the distance… it feels like a dream where I still see him walking somewhere ahead of me. Not gone. Just farther down the shore.
Maybe grief never truly leaves. We simply learn how to walk beside it.
And maybe one day, somewhere beyond this life, we’ll see each other again.
Here’s the full lyrics:
Marami pa sana akong gustong sabihin
mga maliliit na kuwento lang.
Mga nangyari ngayong araw,
isang biro na sana’y iki’natawa mo.
At na-a-alala kita…
Napanuod ko yung isang pelikula
Alam ko magugustuhan mo din sya
at mala’mang marami kang tanong
o syang pang-asar mo lang..
At na-a-alala kita…
Tuloy ang pag-ikot ng orasan
at dahan-dahan kang isinama
sa hangin ng mundong umiinog
gaya ng dapat nitong gawin
Pero may mga araw
di mapigilan
humihinto pa rin ang mundo
sa ala-ala mo.
Heto sumikat uli ang umaga
May mga bagong kwento
Mga dati mong paborito
Ngayo’y akin na din
At na-a-alala kita…
Iba ang plano Nya (siguro)
Alam kong malaya ka na
Wala ng takot, sakit
O pangamba
Ipikit ko lang uli mata ko
Pagtayo, handa na
Okay lang kame, bro
patuloy lang ako.
