Wish You Were Here Poem by Reagan A. Latumbo

When I remember our College days,
On the day we've first met,
I just laugh and cry.


I was a silent one,
You're such a noisy girl,
But we became friends.


We were very close,
What you ate, you shared it with me,
Even if I have nothing to share to you.


Lately, I realized,
We have the same likes,
But you have so many dislikes.


If I remember, I always laugh,
I make you laugh when you feel irritated,
Later on, we we're really very close, super close to each other.


You like music,
You love to sing,
I was amazed with your voice.


We never had stories to tell,
We're just like books that has lots of things to say,
That's why I preserved our friendship.


We joined a singing contest,
you are my partner, my singing duets,
and my 'Balagtasan' leading lady.


Though we always end up, third placer, second placer,
We ended up very happy,
That's what we are actually.


Even if there are people who tried to trim you down,
you never backed down,
you just stood up and raise your head up high.


Even if there are so-called friends who back stabbed you,
I never fail to be true to you,
I always do, you never hear a word from me that can destroy me and you.


I didn't care at all what others will say,
What I only knew was we became friends during our first day,
and ended up 'Buddy' all the way.


Years later, I never fail to communicate with you,
even after we graduated from College, I always look for you,
until I found you.


Now, you have a family of your own,
you never forgotten me,
I was one of the 'Godfather' of your beautiful daughter.


I wish you were here by my side,
to let you know how I truly miss you deep inside,
and how I love you as my 'Best friend' till the end of time.
