And Then It Hit Me

I was happy

I was free

I could smile

By merely saying "cheese"

I could jump

When I'm down on my knees

I could run

Like a tear down my face

I could fly

Flap my wings in vacuum space

I felt the wind 

I fluttered with excitement

And opened my eyes 

to the rushing pavement

I should be happy

I should feel free

In the shadow of what was once you and me

(Post ng laseng. A feeble attempt at expressing a loss that I've had for a while but which has only caught up with me today. I'm sure di ko maiintindihan to bukas.)
