(02:45 AM) gani: Ito lang yung matino para ipakita sa 'yo, nakakahiya na yung iba
(02:45 AM) gani: Papel. Iisa lang naman ang alam kong gawin: / Tumugma’t magsulat, kaya ito. / Para sa’yo. ‘Sang tulang pinaglaanan / ng sobra-sobrang panahon, dumaan sa ‘sang libong / pagkakataong pagmumura’t pagbubura, ‘sang daang / bersyong walang sinabi kun’di mahal kita, / mahal kita, mahal kita, diyan ka lang, mahal kita . // Hindi ako gawa sa ginto, walang ibang pamilya maliban / isang tiyong mapag-aruga, buhay nakaalay sa simbahan. / Mabibigay ko lamang sa’yo, ang dalawampu’t walong letra ng alpabeto. / Ang bawat titik na aking ipinagdidikit / upang sa’yo ay maipakita na aking sinta’y tunay / at aking pag-iirog, tapat. (Kalansay.)
(02:57 AM) gani: Is it so shitty na wala kang masabi? haha
(02:57 AM) basilio: if you feel so strongly for someone
(02:57 AM) basilio: enough to write, well, that about them
(02:57 AM) basilio: then how come you don't tell them?
(02:58 AM) basilio: i mean, you're good with words, gani
(02:58 AM) basilio: kung kailangan mo ng ebidensya, ayan na oh
(03:03 AM) gani: At ano namang sasabihin ko, Basilio?
(03:05 AM) gani: I may be good with words, but I'm not good with people
(03:07 AM) basilio: just, idk
(03:07 AM) basilio: tell him that he's important to you, that you can't get him out of your head so here you are, up at three in the morning writing about him
(03:07 AM) basilio: tell him that being friends is great, but part of you wonders what it would be like to be more
(03:09 AM) basilio: tell him that you like him. i dunno, gani, sometimes it's as easy as that
(03:10 AM) gani: You're important to me
(03:10 AM) gani: I can't get you out of my head
(03:10 AM) gani: So here I am, up at three in the morning writing about you
(03:10 AM) gani: Being friends is great
(03:10 AM) gani: But part of me wonders what it would be like to be more
(03:10 AM) gani: And I like you
(03:12 AM) basilio: see! you just have to tell him that, and it'll work out :))
(03:12 AM) gani: I can't believe you
