When we used to date
Strolling along Rizal Park,
Not enough money for a
Date in a fancy restaurant.
Walking hand in hand
Ending by Manila bay,
Looking at the busy pier
Where tanker ships docks.
Taking our usual bench
Only crackers for a snacks,
While watching the waves
With the beautiful sunset.
Suddenly you told me,
"When the time comes,
I'll buy your favorite bag of
Chocolates as my gift."
That promise did come true
Working for months overseas,
A bag of my favorite chocolate
Is always your gift for me.
The Crackers is chocking me.
How happy you made me,
Even if we don't have money
To buy a bottle of water.
Drowning from so much
Happiness of your dream
Weaving with me, for us.
Until we got married.
We still date by the park,
Sitting in the grass as we
Watch children running
Around, you would say
"Maybe, someday it's us and
Our children will be running
Like them." You'd laugh while
Telling the imagined story.
Sadly we didn't get lucky to
Have a child you'd go crazy with
Playing, laughing and pinching
Their cheeks till it turns red.
If ever you never felt how much
I have loved you, then I failed.
If ever you've change your mind
How you feel about me, just ask.
Don't do things you'll regret later
Whatever you want that I can give
Please, just ask and I'll let you go
Even if it can slowly kill me.
That's how much I love you
And I will always love you
We made so much happy
Memories I can keep in my heart.
Hope I've made you happy
And the memories of us
Together are treasured as you
Travel along the road of life.
May your travels be worthwhile
With your chosen partner in life
Wish she can give what I can't
That you can find a happy life.
The only happiness I've known
In our life together, is you.
That's how much I need you
And I will always need you.
