"Forth"

"Forth"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

I wanted to ask you

how much you distorted time

how much it took

to place your hand on mine

II

I wanted to look at that day

and see the look on my face

As I saw those dazzling lights around you

And I cannot let go of my gaze

III

That time I started to feel something

other than the cold in my heart

I knew then that I would pursue you

and I would never let you part.

IV

Sitting here thinking of you

with this imperfect poem I wrote

I am thankful for that day

and all the rest that came forth.
