that mid-afternoon Manila sun burning down through my soul that moment you laid your passionate eyes on me will forever be kept in my heart imbedded in my memory’s gallery with the hope that one day when our paths intertwined again you’d choose me with courage and conviction with love and devotion and not because it is convenient.
can we be together forever and ever under the city nightsky? we could cuddle together anytime anywhere we could have popcorns and unlimited coffee over re – runs of “Friends” we could probably have scared or annoyed our neighbors for all the noises that we make for we’ve never dated ever so this is our chance, we make the call.
we could have our friends around over breakfast, lunch and even dinner let our kitchen be your stage as i could barely make a gorgeous meal i’d be the proudest to flaunt you prepare dishes we both go crazy about for we’ve never dated ever so this is our chance, we make the call.
can we just go anywhere take me out or take me somewhere it doesn’t matter where, for as long as you are with me celebrating our love that has been kept for so long for we’ve never dated ever so this is our chance, we make the call.
we could stay up all night laughing at my silly epic jokes or we could write the most romantic, sappy love story everyone romantic soul would go crazy wild about it could be as romantic as Emily Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights” or as tragic as Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” for we’ve never dated ever so this is our chance, we make the call.
we could have Valentine’s Day any time or Christmas on a summer day it doesn’t matter anyway, we could celebrate anniversaries even if it isn’t our anniversary, who cares for we’ve been deprived of those for for many years, many summers, and many days for we’ve never dated ever so this is our chance, we make the call.
take me out or take me home it doesn’t matter where we’ve never dated ever so this is our chance, we make the call.
i miss seeing you making breakfast with a smile asking me to hold my hunger for a while with each pancake you make, there’s an unusual story at stake.
i remember you telling me coffee is a must to get through the day fast with every sip you make words of wisdom you narrate.
you look so charming and brilliant as you read the newspaper daily and i will never forget, i am the apple of your eyes, you always say.
i wanna come home to a sweet afternoon nutella sandwich snacks with you leaving post it notes on our front door with “i love you, dinner is on the table”.
i wanna hear you again hum your favorite songs as you try to make sense with my Art projects all along. i wanna be swooned by how your eyes glow by the mere mention of a lovestory so true.
and i am the luckiest i get your purest most sublime love not motivated by necessity, not conditioned by self – interest, even by DNA.
it’s been over a decade dad, and i hope you could hear me when i say i wish you had stayed longer, for i sure need you right now.
there is nothing i can do when my mind is going crazy torrid heated, burning like a hot mid summer day there is nothing i can do when my heart is going crazy wild running faster than the wind could blow a dandelion away and it’s all because of you of your thoughtless, unfeeling consideration of matters around so don’t you ever wonder baby if one day i become a wildfire; unstoppable, unyeilding bouyant, rebellious for now i can only hope that a few more dew drops could settle the growing fire in my heart i hope i pray before it even burn you.
The silence is so deafening, close to impossible to hear even a whisper. My heart is pounding so hard. So hard I could feel the beating right out of my chest. I couldn’t be wrong. The stillness of the night brings a different feeling of nostalgia. I could cry. I could wail. It’s making me crazy worried. I knew I have been here. I knew it. I feel it. But why? I feel the wind blowing softly yet strangely. And where is everyone? Anybody home?
is the night eerie? am i suppose to be here? stange and frightening
and in the twilight of my life when my world will be partially illuminated where there is neither darkness nor light all I ever wish to have is that single speck of light, that single spark of joy with you for I love you from the morn’ of my soul ’till the dusk of my breath and I will love you even more in the midnight of my being when the whole world is in perfect silence my heart screams loudly of your name like it’s the last word I am gonna utter your name and yours alone
