7:30 am checking yourself in the mirror at nadyan na siya
ang sagot mo’y isang ngiti’t “heaven!” at solve na solve ka na
ang sabi ni Mau “pogi talaga ni boss kaya lang suplado siya”
last meeting ay sinigaw sigawan niya iyong assistant niya
nakaka-usyami’t ang dami pa namang humahanga sa kanya
pati si baklitang designer ay kinikilig kapag kaharap na siya
Mau is talking about her boss Bernard and he has good looks
he dresses impressively and he is deep and annoying sometimes
but YOU like his clothes, his perfume and his sleepy eyes
he is sweet and full of surprises…ngunit teka bakit mo alam?
because I am Claire, Bernard and I are secret lovers
nobody knows about it not even Mau and it is our secret
malaki ang kanyang responsibility sa trabaho’t no regrets
ang aming relasyon ay simple and it is only for ourselves
on Thursdays you dine out and go to a secluded bar
on Fridays you go to a beach and smoke in a shisha bar
gusto niya kayong dalawa lang at very intimate and private
basta weekdays it’s all about work and it is give and take
you get used to the same set-up at huwag lang mag-jejeling please
mahirap din ang kumpanya ninyo’y magkashare ng floor office
tanaw nya lahat ng bisita mo’t nagkamali minsan ang florist
basta nagmissed call siya sa iyo that means he is pissed!
dumating ang pagsubok at you’re both lying down on the beach
biglang “hi Sir Bernard, how are you?” three ladies at mukhang b*tch
mabuti na lang at you’re wearing sunglasses at no more speech
“don’t worry” sabi ni Bernard at whatever sira na ang inyong picnic
it’s Monday at meron conference si Bernard with his staff
busy si Mau at nagpapatulong magprepare ng drinks no bluff
ok lang wala naman ang iyong boss and you can’t help but laugh
diyan ka lang sa pantry at wait mo si Mau and just one little puff
“can we have more drinks, errr Miss?” Oh no! silang three ladies
are they schocked? nagkatinginan din sila walang mintis
OMG, they are here! kailangan kang magkunwari at bilis
they are looking to your tattoo on your leg at Oh no please!
these ladies spell trouble and they remembered your tattoo after all
kasi naman today you are wearing a skirt and not bothered at all
how can you feel stupid but that is not your mistake well, not at all
ihanda mo lang ang iyong sarili’t wala silang paki! f*ck ’em all
on the next day you came to work and feeling sad and heavy
ayaw mo sanang pumasok but you have to talk to Bernard at surely
Claire I thought we are friends but why didn’t you tell me
syota mo pala si boss-“so Bernard is keeping a little butterfly here Mau-i?”
dumating na nga si Bernard at sumunod ka sa kanyang opis
he said the whole company knows about your relationship
he is angry at ayaw na ayaw niyang may nakikialam at he hates gossip
“Claire, it’s not your fault but…” umalis ka na lang para kang nainip
you felt cold and out ngunit siya si Bernard at ishare mo sa madlang pips
minahal mo siya ng ganyan about his life and his flaws but you never learn the tricks
he admits he hates his divorced parents at gusto niya ng wife for keeps
hindi nakapagtataka sa kanyang uri ng career at hindi rin siya a man for keeps
he is now sending you text messages saying “hi” and “goodnight”
he stops going to his office at obviously umiiwas siya sa iyo hmmm, that’s not right
Mau told you he looks disturbed unhappy haggard looking and he lost weight
“Claire, get him back!” sayang naman at nakatingin ka lang at looking uptight
“sayang alin kaya ang sayang?” nagkamali ka rin at inakala mong magbabago siya
inakala mong sapat ang inyong suyuan at mamahalin at pagbibigyan ka niya
ngunit siya si Bernard at ang kanyang trabaho’t sarili lang ang mahal niya
nasaktan ka man ng labis but that’s your lesson at sana’y makarma rin siya
Bernard and Claire didn’t get back to each other at nagpadestino siya sa ibang bansa
he accepted his promotion but based in Africa at Oh! dapat lang sa piling ng mga cheetah
Mau told Claire he sends emails and surprisingly with a little butterfly at hibang ba siya?
“kapareho ng tattoo mo Claire isa kang magandang paru-paro sa kanyang ala-ala”
