Waiting…
to reclaim fire that was extinguished
to climb walls and watch the sunset
to take long walks inside the campus
to jump fences and locked gates
to hold banners and chant protest
to roll the dice at snakes and ladders
to see those piercing eyes
and your disarming smile
to embrace as we bid farewell
knowing that tomorrow holds promise
Longing…
to share an umbrella in the rain
to stroll empty museum isles
to have ice cream, noodles and cocktails
to be embraced in the cinema
to fall on a roller skate
to drink tea on coffeeshops
to get lost in old manila
hoping that the winding road
will lead me to you
Waiting and longing…
…Longing in silence
….Silently waiting
