A Greenish-Gray Shirt
Poem by Vince Ylaya
I thought I saw you today,
The guy with A greenish-gray shirt.
Laughing with his friends,
That sweet smile, that lips, that boy,
A few moons came by and became a man.
Is it a coincidence that I'm listening to Olivia Rodrigo's Deja Vu?
I'm asking the crew.
Is it my cue?
To avoid being blue, and just be red to love you.
To the person sitting parallel to me,
The sun kissed me, I wish you did too.
I gazed at the person and then it reminded me of you.
I told myself I'll forget you,
But that innocent person reminded me of who are you.
Now that person left as if nothing happened,
There's nothing that happened,
It's just that something is screaming inside me.
Reminded by my past,
Hoping that person's future would be mine.
Every time I like someone,
you're the first one came to my mind.
I liked the man that has A greenish-gray shirt
but you bothered me again.
I think we need to talk, after that don't stalk.
I'm here to forgive you but not to forget you.
Still, see a moment with you.
One for the money two for the show,
and the next song that played on my phone
was Taylor Swift's "Afterglow"
I was proud because I was the one who let you go.
I was crazy all along, I should've known.
I'm told by some anonymous person that there's no relationship,
It's just me being an illusionist.
I think I need a therapist.
Leave my mind, don't make it your home.
I don't want you as a groom,
So, fly with a broom,
And pray for me to be able to bloom.
Please let me love someone that has a greenish-gray shirt.
