"Watching Fireflies"

"Watching Fireflies"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

I stand still here near the window

Staring at the Fireflies as they glow

And it seems they reach out to me ,

There through the glass where they float.

II

Will I hear your whispers there? 

Of those things you used to say to me

Would  my ears play tricks on me?

Oh this longing in my heart is misery.

III

And like memories that refuse to fade

I stand here thinking of those times

When all I needed was your smile
Where you said that you were mine

IV

But looking now at the fireflies as they glow

They seem dimmer in this world without you

And I sigh because again I can't find myself

Stuck in those the days and nights with you.
