Untold Tales

37

37. Katipunan to Malabon, Malabon to Katipunan

In the mountains, where dreams took flight, 

We soared together, Frog and Cat, so bright. 

But now, a crossroads looms, we must depart, 

To worlds unknown, where life's a work of art.

In just a handful of fleeting, swift-paced years, 

Our paths diverge, our parting drawing near. 

Malabon awaits with its embrace so wide, 

While Katipunan calls me to its side.

Will distance sever the bonds we hold so dear? 

Or will our friendship withstand; Nothing is crystal-clear.

I wonder, will I visit your new home, 

To ensure you're well and not left to roam?

The future's shrouded, a mystic, veiled place, 

We venture forth, with the hope of setting the pace. 

In this vast forest, ignorance does dwell, 

But we'll adapt, in time, we'll learn it well.

Dear friend, through the unknown, we'll find our way, 

From Katipunan to Malabon, my thoughts with you will stay. 

And you, my friend, can visit anytime, 

Our friendship, eternal, in every rhyme.

From Malabon to Katipunan, our paths diverge, 

In the world beyond, new chapters we'll emerge. 

I wish I could write more about what's it like to be in your space,

But honestly, it's unknown, an unfamiliar place.

I presume that place is where Pancit Malabon came from,

If it's not, people of Malabon, please don't leave me shunned. 

I don't know much else about what's in store, 

Yet I'm eager to learn, to explore more and more.

From Malabon to Katipunan, come what may, 

Our hearts are connected in every word we say.

With each new chapter, our tales shall unfold, 

Inscribed by friendship, in letters pure as gold

That reminds me of the color of the college I might go to.

Days may pass, memories will fade, and it will feel blue,

We'll take separate flights, 

But our friendship, dear Frog, remains a guiding light. 

From Malabon to Katipunan, where we may roam, 

Our bond transcends the miles; you'll always be home.
