Denial

Francelle Ortega 1993 (Manila)

February 23 
Free verse
When a moment is just a memory
Would you still remember me?

When doubts turned to certainty
And dreams became reality

When we meet unexpectedly
Would you call it a tragedy?

When I said hi as you pass by
Would you respond with a sigh?

If I happen to look in your loving eyes
And simply forget about the lies

Familiar sparks we'll surely see
But let's prove it wasn't meant to be!
