What More Can I Ask For? Poem by Lilibeth Apat

To love and be loved, the most wonderful experience
The feelings were intense when we first met
But never thought marriage was just a few months away
Until we were there to exchange vows and seal it with a kiss.


Been almost four years since that important day
We’ve gone through a lot, our share of ups and downs, I’d say
By now we have adjusted well, have learned to keep the faith
Partly because of Angel, partly because of love, what more can I say?


It’s nice to wake up in the middle of the night
Cuddling beside your warm body, your arms enfolding me
It’s nice to feel Angel wiggle and embrace me
Even in her slumber, I can feel her love for me.


There are times we would wake up and talk until the wee hours
Can’t believe we have the same feelings, with the same intensity still
Everything you said about how you feel, I feel the same way
If it’s possible, we love each other more each day.
