"We read to know we're not alone."

Today I was out with my friends

We were moving and i suddenly stopped.

I saw a person

Alone, sad, had pouring eyes but was still smiling.

I wanted to talk to him,

I wanted to ask him what was wrong...

I gained the courage somehow and asked him why was he looking so uneasy and dead...

He did not reply to my questions.

I was flattered by the innocence and the self control of the young boy.

I just wanted to talk to him but he did not speak a word...

He was with people around him but was still feeling alone and had tears pouring down his eyes but no one noticed except me.

The situation of the boy was pitiful and it seemed like he just needed a hug.

His eyes were magical. They seemed as if they had a story without any characters but still full of emotions and grievances.

It seemed as if he wanted some support and love from the people around him maybe his friends or parents...

His eyes spoke a thousand words.

His eyes seemed as if he was very courageous and hard working but the tears of loneiness and denial never stopped.

I just wanted to give him a hug so i stepped forward and ouch!

Hindi ko kailangan ang yakap mo,

Ang paghalik mo sa aking noo,

Ang pagdampi ng iyong labi sa aking labi.

Ganoon din ang palagiang paghaplos ng iyong palad sa aking pisngi,

At ang paglapat ng iyong mga daliri, sa bawat puwang sa pagitan ng aking mga daliri.

Ngayon ko kailangan ang iyong paglayo,

dalawang metro,

anim na talampakan.

Dyan ka lang!

Huwag na huwag kang lalapit.

Dyan ka lang!

Kung ayaw mong mahawaan ng sakit.

Dumidistansya ang tunay na umiibig,

may malasakit, may pagsagip.
