jesus james llorico (paco, manila)
a few seconds
'it was a scene, I remember well
as we wait in school, for the bell
you sat with friends in the hallway
talking and giggling all the way
it started well with a simple stare
a smile so sweet and full of care
and it was a look that says it all
for it melt my heart and my soul
through years this shatters my mind
in dreams, it was always in rewind
these feelings that I deeply regret
love that I never had I can't forget
if my prayers reach you o'er the sea
tis' hope you recall, so you can see
a few seconds between you and me
will forever stay in my memory...'
