WHY CAN'T YOU

An 'eonni'
Is how I want you to see me
But your messages
Tell me otherwise

You told me
Calling me 'Ate'
Sounds inappropriate
Enlighten me

You call Jayvee
'Kuya Jayvee'
But why
Can't you call me 'Ate'

Can't stop myself
From assuming
Maybe
Just maybe
You like me

I can't help but smile
Every time
My phone would light up
With your message
Waiting for me

But
I want to clear
This out
What am I
To you
Exactly?

Please
Tell me
Define me
Enlighten me

To stop myself
From assuming
To prevent
The inevitable fact
Of me
Falling in love
With a boy
Like you
I mean
Really
To you
