Again - Visitor's Love Poem

by Tennese Joy
(Quezon City, Philippines)

Beneath a happy face
Lies a broken heart
Nursing the trace
That so deeply cut

Flashing back all the momentos
Like a giant screen with photos
All the events are back in pronto
Unnerving my senses, I felt sorrow

Time passes and years go by;
But my thoughts of you still linger inside
I thought this feeling already subside
I'm again confused 'coz you're back here in my mind

One day I found courage to text you in your number
Even if I'm afraid, i just didn't ponder
My heart was filled with so much anticipation,
Then you replied, it washed away my conviction.

We text each other back, just like a new acquaintance
I think I had a wrong decision taking that chance
You're a flame I thought was already gone
But now it slowly illuminated, oh! What have I done?

My heart trembled when I heard your voice
Giving up my pride, you know that's my choice
My whole body was shaking, my heart rejoiced
Didn't mind the consequences, I just wanna talk

We then conversed, I was happy and glad
Talking about old times, I didn't wanna be sad
I told you I missed you! God! I felt I'm so bad
I think you're still in love with me, am I that mad?

You admitted you miss me too, wow! That's nice to know
My heart was filled with so much joy, trying not to show
I even told you, I'm still in love with you
That's how comfortable I am with you.

I restrained my self talking and texting you after that revelation
I think hard and understand that it will be the best decision
It's hard, it's tough but I have to overcome the temptation
Yes I'm still in love with you, but that doesn't change our situation

Moving forward, again.... I'm determined to make it once more
I need to have courage, patience to avoid the one I adore
I prayed to god, to give me strength and remove the sore
And when the right time comes, I hope we sing the same chore
