Sixth grade and almost parting
I was sure that I gave you something
Was it a picture and in a frame
Was it signed and written with my name
Was it in a wallet or was it in a pocket
Was it in a circle or heart-shaped locket
Was it a belt or was it a letter
Was there a message, was there a number
I can barely recall and hardly think of
Memories of the past seem to be in a loop
But there was one thing I surely gave you
A place in this heart, a young love but true.#

Sixth grade. happy when were eleven.
You tie your shoelace as I ran after you.
We'd go to school as early as seven
Those were the days when I met you.

We parted ways after graduation
You left me a note inside a book
Never then saw you for so many seasons
But you always get me with just a look.

Our eyes crossed, you were in blue
I remembered how much I adored you
The lights flashed, my heart beats fast
And I hope that you feel it too.
You were in blue.

You still got my picture in your wallet
I lost all of the things you've given me
But not that necklace with a heart-shaped locket
And now it's so clear to see.

I still like you after graduation
Keeping the note inside the book
I once saw you on that single occasion
You got me again with that one look.

Our eyes crossed, you were in blue
I remembered how much I adored you
The lights flashed, my heart beats fast
And I hope you feel it too.

But do you know your name still echoes here inside my head?

Our paths crossed, your jeans were blue
Do you remember how much I adored you
The lights flashed, my heart beats fast
And I pray that yours did too.

Our eyes crossed, the skies were blue
I think of that shoelace when I ran after you
Memories flashed and time went fast
And I hope you liked me too.
Your jeans were blue.

Sixth grade, happy when were eleven.#

I walked through the door

Saw a bouquet of flowers

Candles lit on the floor

Talked and laughed for hours.

The air was cold that night

On the couch with you felt home

You hugged me so tight

Now I never felt so alone.

In you I let go of my scarf

You alone gave me warmth

The name is carved in my heart

Never felt better in your arms.

What a memory it has been

As I hear our song on the radio

Now I just wanted to be healed

But I still hear my feelings echo.

I wish I could go back there

And replay it just like then

But I don’t want to live in fear

Knowing it’ll never work again.

I left my scarf in your drawer

Please know I was always yours

I kept the petals of the flowers

In tears as I walked out the door.#

In cool sun rays we played

Ran on the rocks of rivers

Swam in it and shivered

And went back to class late.

On lunch time we would stay

You taught me play chess after

Even shared food and laughter

Without missing a single day.

Teammates in the game of chase

Then you were caught by our foes

I intend to be reckless on my toes

So I’d hold your hand in a pace.

You’re a pretty boy loved by all

I was a petty girl in a flipped hat

So easily delighted by your tap

Yet I was slowly learning to fall.

Six years ago we sparkled bright

We fell and eventually fell apart

But memories still in the heart

Six years after, still warm as light.

Parted when we’re twelve and keen

and then met different names

But now I can still feel the flame

From that of March twenty-thirteen.#

One leaf on the first day

Fell with the words I wrote

I waved at you by the bay

But you sailed away like a boat.

Second leaf fell on the ground

Came the love letters unsent

And you’re nowhere to be found

Alone and away so I went.

For the third time a leaf fell

Poems born within minutes

And so I had no one to tell

A case hidden and you’re in it.

The leaves went with the wind

Traveled far and lost in time

Gone like you without a hint

For once I thought was mine.#

Out of my tactics you turned around on me

You’re not done watching from the right side

But you shared to me a glance on a weep

I, on the left, only to leave you behind.

I was a toy of once a Neverland lost boy

Only to find out he had me be the lost one

In the corner as I mourn to fanciness and joy

You too were a victim of a bullet from a shotgun.

I was wicked waging wars with no worry

Daydreaming of nightmares for the players

Yet I played you and was never even sorry

In my hands I built my own nightmare.

I forgot you were a victim of pain from infatuation

I who held anguish like a baseball hit you

You bat the ball back and mirrored my reasons

In horror I faced darkness with bruise in scarlet hue.#

When did we even start to bond?

Cause we were just working

When did we had what we had?

We just clicked and there went everything.

We cleaned the school like janitors

We stood by the gate like guards

Went to buildings with no elevators

Yet played overnight with cards.

We organized on-the-spot events

Did physical arrangements like pro

Rushed like Quicksilver to meet ends

And served to each friend and foe.

Stones and rocks were thrown at us

Instead of walls, we built bridges

We were never blinded by dusts

Yet filled each other’s weaknessess.

Fatigue is not in our vocabulary

As long as we do everything together

We may pause, breathe, rest or hurry

But will never give up, no matter.

With little rewards we were jubilant

Walks on the boulevard, and sunflowers

Sit on the ground in front of the convent

Eat, talk and laugh for hours.

Spend late afternoons at Kuya TJ

Enjoy cheap batchoy and a-la-carte

Long as no one leaves, all stays

Drinking free water was the best part.

Ailyn, Reji, Jacky, Jay, Teode and Vernard

Form the best team when put together

Their laughter is the best of all arts

They are the six original real-life Avengers.#

I can think, I have mind

Do not compare me to your past

I am different, one of a kind

And my kindness will never last.

Your past does not define me

Your doings will not be mine

Never look at me like I’m the same picture

That you’ve painted from time to time.

I am not you and never will

Tear the picture or I’ll be gone

I will never feel what you feel

Cause I wont do what you have done.#

Your arms around her waist

The curves on your faces

Such flowers in bouquets

Chocolates in boxes

In the table with suits

And the sweet melodies

With blood in the glasses

That tastes like the cherries

You both look jubilant

Burning each other’s heat

Both living the tick-tocks

Lying on the same sheets.

Thank you for the gifts

And so as for the time

Knew I ain’t deserving

For me to call you mine

Please let me just say this

I have loved you so true

But with what you have now

I am happy for you.#
