Five

It's our fifth year together and I am so happy we've made it this far. I was planning to by her something expensive or treat her to a fancy dinner but unfortunately, I am swamped at work and low on budget because of my expenses during my mom's stay last month.

So all I had was a song I wrote for her the night before our anniversary. (Bawi na lang ako, babe. Love you!)

"Five"

Limang taon

Na pala tayong

Tumatakbo.

Magkasamang

Pinagsasaluhan ang pagibig na

Dala natin sa isa’t-isa.

*Oh kay sarap magbalik-tanaw

Sa’ting mga pinagdaanang

Hirap at saya.

**At ngayong gabi,

nakatingin sa bulalakaw

na sabay nating pinagmamasdan

ang sandaling ‘di maipagpapalit

kaylan man.

Limang taon

Na pala akong

Gumigising sa iyong mga ngiti

Na nagbibigay liwanag

Sa ulan at kalungkutan ko.

Oh

*
