Listen Friend

(from an old old journal -  Year 1981 September
VCHS  mga pigaalamag nang poem kan hi school
nakutkutan sa baul    para kisiisay daw ini, lingaw
 ko na, kun siisay ka man - kung haen ka man,
 sabi ni pokwang, diyan ka na lang  :-)  )


Listen friend,
I've got a secret to tell
Did you know that I keep thinking of you?

Of the things you said to me
And all the topics we use to disagree

The fun and joy of walks under scorching sun
 Every step we make
    from home to school and back
Each step becomes
   a beautiful dance

And all about
   the hundred small and ordinary things
   that happen each day
This foolish heart meant they
     so special to me

But why?
I keep myself asking
This mind boggling question
   eversince
Why is it that I am afraid to face the truth
    that you have a special place in my heart?

Knowing this
I hope you won't change
Coz'
I like your gentle ways
I like your playful eyes
i like your cheery smiles
In fact I like every part of you
And it will hurt me to lose you
Even as a FRIEND..
