"Looking Back"

Eica Joie 2003 (Philippines)

Free verse
Every time I open my eyes
I am faced with the reality that I can't see you no more
Every time I put myself to sleep
I reminisce every memory with you
The joy we made
The sorrow you caused
Waiting has never felt this long
I long for your return, my love
