You are too sweet,
Too sticky to be forgotten.
You got me wrapped around
Dancing and drowning
Just in the middle.
Dreaming and wanting.
Smiling and reminiscing.
It was a dive in a portal
A time travel so precise.
Felt like touching a wound
That has healed in far past.
The stench was too real,
And all the secrets squealed.
Then all the wishes are here.
You and me and them.
The filthy white smoke,
And the bottles on each side.
I remember you.
And us.
And whether I smile or cry so hard
Or choke on words I said and didn't.
I know that when I close my eyes,
And see yours...
I will breathe out loud
With nothing but love.

So after more than a decade, I was reunited with my closest college friend last Sunday. I had to meet her at Terminal 4 in Naia, where it’s so hot and crowded. But our hour of catching up was worth it! I miss her so much! I’m looking forward to visit Davao to see her.
