I Was, I Am And I Will Be Poem by rio monica canlas

I was the girl at the terrace
Playing my guitar while I reminisce,
Tears were falling
But nobody seems to notice,
Just like my feelings
For more than 10 years

Achievements were not actually for me,
But for you to become aware of me.
You were my inspiration in so many ways
But never got the chance to say “hey, thanks! ”

We were friends,
Because nothing in this life lasts,
And so, my head says, I’ve got to move on
But my heart still believes, with no sign of stopping.

They said, “It’s better to be loved, than to love”
I lost that chance, because I was so blinded by you.
And just realized his importance, when I’ve got no one to turn to.
Really, it’s true, “You’ll never miss the water, until its gone! ”

Now, I feel quite tired of waiting
For more than a decade, I kept my feelings
But I think I have to cease from crying, hiding, dreaming and hoping
Since I got nothing after confessing

I am still trying to transcend
From the box where I caged myself
Diverting my attention
So I could move on.

I know, there’s a life after this
Though it’s not easy, but GOD, I know you’re here, helping me.
I’m still looking forward, someday, of seeing you,
But no longer yearning to be with you
Instead, I’m PROUD of myself getting thru
That I was able to make it and I’m done fantasizing you!
