Kaawa-awa

by janis de asis

i stared at you

you looked back

there was something in your eyes

suddenly you smiled

i was lost

my heart stopped beating

time stopped

the world stopped revolving

there were no words spoken

no vows exchanged

but i knew in my heart that was it

the real thing they so called love…

we were in love, weren’t we?

or at least i was…

and still am…’til now

but in vain, i waited

for you to make the first move

all my hopes were shut to nowhere

when we parted ways

and now you’re miles away

left alone with mem’ries

when will you be back is still uncertain

maybe tomorrow, next month, next year

maybe never…

but until that day comes I’ll be here

waiting and waiting and waiting

saving forever for you.
