Orange


Orange

I'm at the edge of the world,
looking at you from afar
The bridges we've crossed and the pathways we've made,
I wonder if they've brought us any closer?

Stumbling for words,

You, the juvenile delinquent.
The embodiment of youth and its dysfunction.
I hope you know what you are looking for.
For in the city of lights,
few stars are to be found.

I remember how silly it was for me to ask how much the boarding lodges were and how I planned taking my bicycle there to hop from one building to another for the next class. It was making me rethink my life and what it could have been if I didn't go to STI. Of course, I would never have met him. Maybe, just maybe, there was a very small chance that I could catch a glimpse of him on their graduation day in Umali Hall back in May 2012. However, that only exists in a parallel universe. I always wonder why it's so difficult for me to capture happiness. It feels as if my whole life had rained down sadness on me. My spirit is adventurous, but my soul was always bound to the responsibilities of the...
