I didn't remember how I lost my favorite pen,
black HBW.
Maybe somewhere I misplaced it, I put it on someone's book that I borrowed.
Maybe I let my friend borrowed it and never returned.
Maybe It didn't already work and runs out of ink so I throw it out of anger or
I don't know.
I didn't remember how I lost my favorite slipper, blue spartan.
Maybe it flows somewhere on a river where I always took my bath and got home barefooted.
Maybe somewhere I visited on someone's house and someone took it away thinking it was their for it looks similar.
Maybe I used it on a game called 'tumbang preso' or I used to throw it when we stole a mango on our neighbor/elementary school and someone sees us so we have to run reason for it to leave behind or
I don't know.
I didn't remember how I lost my favorite friend, Cecilia.
Maybe in school when were elementary I/my room don't have a teacher and I got home early I didn't wait for her so she got mad.
Maybe on our house while watching TV she's always lost on a game 'guess the commercial title' and that she was pi**ed and got home instead.
Maybe I didn't let her join the car wash team back then or
I really don't know.
but
on a sunny day
June 31, 2005 on the road waiting for a bus,
you bid goodbye.
Saying you'll look for work for our better future.
Weeks,
months,
years, and
decades.
You didn't come home until we found out you already had your family.
You're happy,
contented,
living with no worries.
While we're miserable,
sad and
alone
longing for a loving parent.
For all my favorite things and person that I forgotten on how the hell I lost them.
But,
on that sunny day on a year 2005 on June 31st I clearly and vividly remember how I lost you,
mom.
