You

21

I long for that hug,

That hug that I never had before;

I long for that kiss,

Those lips that never touched mine before

I long for those eyes,

That glimpse that look me just five times before;

I long for that stare,

That way you looked me with doubt before

I long for that smile,

That smile that was never been for me;

I long for that laugh,

That laugh that was not because of my jokes

I long for that touch,

That right arm that  I touched just once before;

I long for that walk,

Those feet that never went towards me before

I long for that red-white stripes,

That shirt that you and your brother have both;

I long for that woman,

"Mom" you so-called her

I long for that balcony,

That place I often steal a look before;

I long for that frozen water,

That ice you gave to my cousin before

I long for that orange bicycle,

That bike I used to ride and passed in front of that house before;

I long for that plaza,

That place where we walked past like strangers before 

(We really are though)

I long for that mall,

That ground floor where I stole a look as if I'm stalking you before 

(I really am not!);

I long for that foodcourt,

That crowded place where you noticed me but I hid before

I long for that road,

That street where I watched you from aback before;

I long for that shed,

That shed where two pairs of eyes met before

I long for that school,

That bleacher in the gym where you sat opposite from mine before;

I long for that dance,

That twirl I never thought you could before

I long for that mass,

That 3rd mass where I had the chances to find you;

I long for that hand,

Those fingers and palm that I never held during the Lord's Prayer before

I long for that, "Okay ka lang, ading?"

Those four words I heard just once from you before;

I long for that, "Bea"

Those three letters that I wish I will hear from you 

          more than once in the future

And I still long for you,

You, in my heart and in my prayers;

And I will always long for you,

You, even if you don't long for me
