I've been missing the way you made me smile every morning.
I only thought of playing with my friends, and with those dirts on our faces bespeak the laughs and happiness that we had with you.
Honestly,
those were the times that I felt like the world's just spinning around and we just had to move through it.
I missed how I celebrated my birthdays with you.
It's unforgettable,
indeed.
But you're selfish,
for you didn't tell me how long you'd want to stay because I realized that as I celebrated my birthdays,
those were also the times that we're taking steps apart.
As I played tagu-taguan,
I didn't know that after I opened my eyes, you're already gone.
As I chased my friends in habul-habulan,
I wasn't able to follow you as well.
But if you want me to play with you again, I'd always choose of coming back to you, not just because you make me feel young, but also because you're my home.
Still yours,
Always yours.
