Can I Not Miss You More

September 22, 2006 at 8:48 am (Poetry)

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?
