Cannot hold
Cannot be together
Cannot love
Cannot kiss
Cannot have each other”
You sit on the floor, across the room from where he is on the floor.
“Must be strong,
we must let go
Cannot say
What our hearts must know
How can I not pag-ibig you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms”
“So this is it?” You ask, voice shaking.
“Yeah.” He stammers.
“It’s not fair.” You mumble.
“How does one walks away
From all the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone.”
“Cannot dream
Cannot share
Sweet and tender moments
Cannot feel
How we feel
Must pretend it’s over “
All the touches, kisses, nights talking were to be thrown away.
“Must be brave,
And we must go on
Must not say,
What we’ve known all along”
It was never meant to be. The opposite side of town, your parents never approved of him.
“How can I not pag-ibig you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms”
“I’m always going to pag-ibig you.” He mutters.
“How does one walks away
From all the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone
How can I not pag-ibig you.. “
“Me too. I will always pag-ibig you.” You say, fighting back the tears.
“Must be brave,
And we must be strong
Cannot say,
What we’ve known all along.”
“Can… Can I give you a hug?” He asks, almost timidly.
You nod your head.
He comes over and wraps his strong arms around you.
“How can I not pag-ibig you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms”
“How does one walks away
From all the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone”
He kisses the tuktok of your head. “Don’t get into trouble. I pag-ibig you.”
“How can I not pag-ibig you..
When you are you gone…..”
He gets up, and walks out of the room.
