On Love and Friendship...

I used to love writing poetry. I draw my inspiration from my life experiences. Falling in love, getting hurt, feeling alone, insecure and lost, euphoria, euphimism, feeling love and being loved, winning, and all feelings drwan from each and every experience. I pride my self of my small successes, being able to put them in words is all that matters then. Because, once in a while I visit each page and read and reminisce the memories that is attached therein.

Here I am now...32 years old, blogging. I love blogging, it enables me to express my thoughts and feelings. But I miss writing poetry, miss reading my own thoughts and feelings in a different time...with its different tones in varying degrees of experiences. So, got my box of old notebooks, diaries and stuff I've kept all these years. They are old. And fearing decay, I told my secretary to encode them page by page. I will do the editing when I have the time. In that way, I will relive the time, and remember the memories...

I picked one page and here's what was written on it. I wrote it when I was in college for a friend, who now is an ex---

THANK YOU---

On Love and Friendship Part 1

Thank you for the smiles that brighten my days.

For the tender touch that made me feel special.

For the jokes you cracked that really made me laugh.

Those were the times when my heart would jump

Each time I saw you, my heart leaped

And each time we were together---

I have felt myself floating in a cloud.

We could sit proximately close yet comfortably,

You could lean on me and I’ve enjoyed your touch intimately,

You’re every stroke, every gaze, everything…

We could talk about anything, argue, and fight

Yet still be friends—

Thank you for making me feel needed,

For giving me something to dream about

For giving pleasure, for giving life to me...

I feel so young and active and gay.

When all I thought of was my passing youth.

Thank you for the teasing eyes that looked my way.

They have captured my heart when they meet mine

I longed to kiss you that you never know.

You said you wanted to do it too.

Thank you for the warmth and the care.

For the gentleness that I’ll remember.

Thank you for the memories.

They will be kept forever.

Thank you for the friendship—

I hope it’ll always be there!
