Can I Not Miss You More
Can I not miss you more
as my father shifts gears, I remember
how you held my hand even as you drove
and how you kissed it during the red light
Can I not miss you more
as I make my way through the busy streets of Makati
I remember walking, rushing and running to meet up with you
I remember your smile as the day ends with me by your side
Can I not miss you more
as every memory I have seemed to be tinged with your face
even as I try to deny it, I see you in every place
And I can’t seem to help myself from hoping for more
Can I not miss you more
with every heartbeat and even as today, the seconds drag closer
as the day I promised to forget you draws nearer
can I not miss you more today and forget you when it’s tomorrow?
