A jeepney love story

A jeepney love story

A Poem by charmel
"

A poem written in Filipino that talks about two passengers who can't take their gazes off each other; but they don't have the courage to ask each other's name.

"

Nakaupo sa gilid ng jeep

Pinipilit ang mga mata na di umidlip

Nababagot sa kahihintay

Ang oras ng paglalakbay.

 

Bigla akong sumigla

Ng sa labas, ika’y nakita

Ngumiti ang inaantok kong puso

Ng ako’y tinitigan mo.

 

Inayos ko ang aking pagkakaupo

Ng ika’y pumasok at umupo sa harapan ko

Mga mata mo’y tila saki’y kumakausap

Pakiramdam ko, ako ang matagal mong hanap..

 

Panakaw-nakaw tingin

Ang bawat isa sa atin

Ngunit di naglakas-loob, tayong dalawa

Upang malaman pangalan ng bawat isa.

 

 

Ako’y nanlumo

Ng ika’y bumaba

Tinitigan kita sa kahulihulihang sandali

Sana landas nati’y magkatagpong muli.

i don't need a translation because we are from the same country. I like the love at first sight scenario it happens in a jeepney which is referred to as the king of the road but hopefully there comes a time that they will meet again
