Why are you haunting me?
Is it because I never got the chance to tell you-
what I wanted to before I left?
I know I had two chances to do that..
Araw ng Maynila and
10th of July.
I never had the courage to do just that.
I was never brave, even now.
Remember when I never had the courage to fight for you?

Why you?
“First love never dies,” is an overused cliché-
that does not apply to everyone.
Heck! There’s even a song with that line.
Also, I have a problem writing “first” and
“love” together.
Is there such thing as a second love at all?
I have a lot of views about this-
but I’ll do that in another post.

Why you?
Was it because you have cared and loved me
like nobody has ever done?
Probably…

Why you?
My friends keep telling me not to compare you with
every girl I meet.
I tried.. But I always end up doing that.
You were and still are special to me.
That’s why I still can’t stop comparing you to them.

Why you?
Will I ever get tired of asking this?
I need answers but you’re miles apart now.
Maybe the next time we meet I’ll be a different “me.”
Just maybe..
