Was it selfish of me or selfless maybe ?
Not to hold you back and set you free ?
There were no words you heard me say …
Yet a deafening cry in my heart said " stay .."
A word or a touch you were deprived
Perhaps a single one can make you strive
But there should be no emotions to show
So you can choose and easily go…..
My love went with you as you left
I nodded, smiled and gently cried …
Over time, we have conquered and tried
Now it’s over and you will no more suffer .
Life will never be the same again
Yet it is not ‘goodbye’ but ‘ till then.’
Though your presence will not be here
In my heart I will always hold you dear.
For Mama, Elisita Galvan Lozada
