A2–B10:28
I could not sleep all night.
Hindi ako nakatulog buong gabi.
My mind was full of thoughts.
Puno ng isipan ang aking utak.
I sat by the window to breathe.
Umupo ako sa bintana para huminga.
The sky was still dark.
Madilim pa ang langit.
Then a soft light appeared.
Biglang may lumitaw na mahinang liwanag.
The sun was coming up slowly.
Dahan-dahang sumisikat ang araw.
It felt like a quiet promise.
Para itong tahimik na pangako.
Each color spoke to my heart.
Bawat kulay ay nagsalita sa puso ko.
I did not need to hurry.
Hindi ko kailangang magmadali.
This moment was just for me.
Ang sandaling ito ay para lamang sa akin.
The sunrise after a sleepless night
