End Of A Story Poem by Noel Tupan

Once, a story was written,
created and dedicated to a maiden.
A story so lovely and well-crafted,
but could not decide how to put an ending.

A story of friendship and love,
a story so common yet so profound.
Characterized by two individuals,
so exquisite and affectionate mortals.

Struggled for existence in the world,
relying on each other’s hold…
that no matter what others would say,
the promise is for each other to stay.

Now, it can be told once more,
the story was not an exception after all,
a promise that was never fulfilled,
now is the time for the story to end.
