“Ang Kwentong Pokmaru”

“LMSC”, nakita ko sa feed mo

Hindi ako nagdalawang-isip na e-hit ang like button
umaasang pati ako e-like mo to the bottom
So ayon, nag chat kana
Bumanat ng mga sweet words
Palong-palo, mapapa-ayiieee ka na lang sa sobrang harot
Sana kasing dali mag-add to cart
ang mag-add to heart…mo
Hindi ko alam kung anu ang status natin
Kasi ka late night talk kana,
nagagalit pa pag hindi nakakain sa umaga
Sabi mo, “brb”.
Lumipas ang isang buwan,
hindi na nagparamdam
ECQ, MECQ, GCQ, MECQ,
 nag chat ka ulit
kahit pabago-bago ang mundo,
sige na nga, ikaw pa rin ang BBQ!

Our wonderful story

I saw in your feed, "Leave me something cute," it says.

I hit the "like" button without thinking twice.
Hoping you will also like the showing feelings in my eyes.
I messaged you with sweet praise and words. 
words that can make the butterflies in your stomach go wild.
I hope choosing me to be the love of your life is easy.
easy as you choose things that are necessities.
I don't know what our relationship is.
We stay up late at night talking to each other.
And when the morning came, "Have you eaten?" our first question to one
another.
Until my most feared moment came,
"Be right back," you say.
I waited for minutes, hours, and too many days.
But I have never seen your name appear in my inbox again.
It had already felt like forever when the miracle came—you messaged me
again.
And just like that, all the feelings came back.
