Encore Poem by Rafael Marco Balbin

From strangers to lovers,
Then lovers to strangers,
This is how we began
But somehow, it's now gone

In this time of utter frustration,
I wanted to end my despiration
This time, there will be no other
You and me, we can still be together

We can be better,
We can be even be merrier
But everytime I stare,
You do not seem to care

Can we give it an encore?
For you, I will be so much more
All I did is to build up hope and let it out
Now let's make it better and don't give a doubt
