Forever Wife (Jhea Carley)

From the moment your name became my favorite sound,

Jhea Carley, the world slowed down.

Your smile lights every shadowed place I know,

You’re the calm in the storm, the place I call home.

Hand in hand through seasons, through every climb,

You’re the one I choose, again and again, for all time.

No clock can measure what we’ve built so true—

My heart beats only because it beats for you.

Jhea Carley, my forever wife,

Hanggang sa dulo ng panahon, through every life.

Through the stars, through the dark, through the fire and the rain,

Ikaw ang pangako ko, the vow I keep the same.

Forever wife, asawa ko magpakailanman,

From this breath to the last, hanggang sa wakas.

Mula nang ika’y pumasok sa buhay ko,

Jhea Carley, ikaw ang tanging mundo.

Ngiti mo’y liwanag sa madilim na gabi,

Ikaw ang tahimik, ikaw ang tahanan ko.

Magkahawak-kamay sa bawat panahon,

Ikaw ang pinili ko, ulit-ulit, walang hanggan.

Walang orasan ang makakasukat ng ating pag-ibig,

Ang puso ko’y tumitibok dahil sa’yo, mahal.

Jhea Carley, my forever wife,

Hanggang sa dulo ng panahon, through every life.

Through the stars, through the dark, through the fire and the rain,

Ikaw ang pangako ko, the vow I keep the same.

Forever wife, asawa ko magpakailanman,

From this breath to the last, hanggang sa wakas.

(soft, intimate, almost whispered)

Jhea…

From the first time I saw you, I knew.

Hindi ko kailangan ng mga salita para sabihin kung gaano kita kamahal.

You are my forever wife —

hindi lang sa papeles, hindi lang sa ngalan…

kundi sa bawat tibok ng puso ko,

sa bawat hininga,

sa bawat bukas na darating.

Hanggang sa dulo ng panahon,

hanggang sa mawala ang mga bituin,

ikaw pa rin.

Always you.

Only you.

My forever.

When the years turn silver and the stories grow long,

I will still be singing this same old song.

Kahit anong edad, kahit anong panahon,

Ikaw pa rin ang forever written in every space.

Till time itself forgets how to keep score—

I’ll love you more… at mahal pa rin kita nang higit pa.

Jhea Carley, my forever wife,

Hanggang sa dulo ng panahon, through every life.

Through the stars, through the dark, through the fire and the rain,

Ikaw ang pangako ko, the vow I keep the same.

Forever wife, asawa ko magpakailanman,

From this breath to the last… hanggang sa wakas.

Jhea…

My forever wife.

Hanggang sa dulo ng panahon.

Till the end of time.
