ONE LAST PROMISE

this one is really close to my heart...

cheery days and nights

as fresh as your wide smile

keeps me warily wondering

what it was that made you sing...?

i last saw you when it was snow

and still on the Valentine's you made no show.

you may be really busy, my sis.

just wanted to tell you how much i miss

those days of laughter and each hour we spent,

enjoying our favorite milkshakes in my den.

my eyes wander to capture you glimpse,

and, on not seeing you, i literally flinch.

i know you have found your Mr. Right

but we vowed to be together as long as stays our might.

its sad i had to know from other source

and that made me cry with much force.

you broke our vow and shook our bond

which i had really grown of much fond.

you were the one who made the vow

that together we were suppose to meet our Princes

yet if not, then at least tell of their existence.

but you left no number and no address.

where should i ask for you, my dearest?

you have no idea how much i really miss

your laugh joined with mine, my sis.

sometime ago i heard of his demise

and now i have learnt how much you were wise!

for you had the audacity to leave me alone

without a hug, a letter or a call on phone!

i cried oceans and crashed like wild tides

in the sweet memories of your and mine.

i hope i'm enough for both of us

to be alive in all this fuss,

to have your smiling face in my hollow eyes

and to try to jingle your laughter until far away miles.

tell me, my dearest friend, where will you be?

when i want solace within only me and thee.

i know you are reading my heart and not my mind

yet i'm writing this for your shrine

on which i will keep your orchids every day

as long as i live on what God's wishes may.

promise me one last, my dearest Carol,

will you be my perfect Angel?
