Mara Manzano Poems

I could remember perfectly on how it used to beWhen we were happy, just you and me
There are things you don't know, but today I'll spill
Those little details I love about you, I'll reveal
...

Attached, I’m too attached
I’m afraid that at any time I just might crash
Fallen, I’ve fallen so hard
You’re far away but you have my heart
...

It wasn’t that easy, because I was the first
I was that newborn baby, crying due to thirst
They gave me the name my friends call me today
Ever since then, I promised not to bring them any dismay
...

I sit here as I envision my future life
On what it’s like if I didn’t have you with me by my side
Your existence still brings me something to marvel
On what good thing I did that night, I’ll just sit here and ponder
...

What I didn’t get to know you, what could life be
If I didn’t have you, what could be in store for me
What if we remained friends, will I be happy
What if all of of this didn’t happen, will I be sorry
...

Aren’t you lucky to be who you are today
Consider yourself blessed even if things go astray
Know that many people wish they were in your shoes
You, who could eat three times a day, but still feeling a bit confused
...

As one takes a step further, he can assess
That the life he currently has is such a mess
Turning the tables, he decided to do
Everything that is impossible just to prove to you
...

It may seem bizarre at first, but people do
Change for what is better, seeing it is up to you
What once was happy, a life flaming with fire
Turned into a dark cloud with no more desire
...

I remember it clearly, how all things went right
It was the 17th of November, once upon a midnight
You invited me for coffee, I even joked if it was for free
Suddenly, everything fell into place like it was meant to be
...

I never would want to see you walk away
I'd probably hold you so tight just so you'll stay
Imagining it now makes me feel so weak
Ever since we started, I know you're the one I want to keep
...
