(An excerpt from my literary work published for the high school orgran, The Clarion)
“The time I first saw you
Was the last time I found my heart.”
It felt like I was in the narrow valley of love
Striking arrows of Cupid wounded me
Blood of passion fell like rain
Coming from the hailing teary clouds.
The Day of Hearts came with bubbling sweetness
That I could never explain by words.
I came late to school for the first time
Just to have the flowers I want you to have.
One day, I felt the emptiness of your love.
It became shallow like a flying dragonfly.
You became in love with your past,
Totally, you turned back for him.
You only made me hope for your love:
Pinaasa mo lang ako.
You tore my heart into pieces.
You took all I could give you.
What wound you gave me.
Was this the exchange of my love?
What foolishness you did to me.
Was this all you wanted?
“You never loved me, right?
You never even care to defend your feelings for me.
You only made me hope
For a foolish love you would give.”
“You threw me in the ocean of loneliness.
You made me worthless of your love
You made me drown in the spirit of death.
You embraced me with thorns.”
Who should be blamed if a leaf falls from a tree?
Is it the wind which blew it away?
Or the tree that let it go?
Or is it the leaf itself which never held tight?
When will I hear the words “I LOVE YOU”
From those rosy lips so smooth?
When will I feel your true love
Which I’ve been longing to grasp?
I want to stay in your heart
I want to follow the lace of your love.
I am now leaving my hometown.
I am now leaving my Alma mater.
I know we’ll see each other in the future.
I want you to be my wife.
Feel my love, clutch my heart.
Else, Destiny will bring us back together.
