Tulang Handog

Ika-Pitong Tula (You)

The moment our beings met,

it never came 'cross my mind that i' ll be infatuate.

From how you stood, how you spoke and how you took a glimpse of me,

I never thought i'd wish for us to be "we".

I, myself want a growth,

For future purposes and can be for us both.

I want to understand myself more,

So, if you'll entertain me i don't have any toxicity to pour.

I have never dreamed any degree,

But get one so my future at least have guarantee.

I have never dreamed any degree,

But take one to make even for the future you forsee.

From the moment we cross,

I had never fall in chorus.

But now I am still in melody,

Don't know if I should hold on to the rhythm of you and me.

I am pouring my thoughts out,

In the midst of unknown of our route's whereabout.

Writing this all out in freestyle,

Hoping for the best like a well made tile.

For past years i am into you,

I can't help but daydream about us two

Of you giving care thinking that it's all bare,

And want to pour out more than I considered.

I dreamed of you holding my hand,

In front of everyone, especially my crowd.

I dreamed of you asking my hand in little of demand.

I dreamed of you binding me of your future-- planned.

I dreamed of how i'll support you,

From the career you want to grow into.

I dreamed of how I'll take care of you,

Because you're my baby that I want to pursue.

I may be coward to confess these all,

It's just because I am still building my own beautified halls.

I'll just stay still and hope,

That you won't find any hoe.

But the point of these words and all,

Is to say that in future I won't let my grip of you fall.

And that, "In the midst of dark and light,

You're in between that I want my future in all might".
