We all end up as microfilms

I learned about microfilms in college when I had to read up on really really old newspaper articles. . . I'd love to think she learned about microfilms from me. We'd all someday end up as microfilms. I wish I can choose what picture I'd be preserved in.

Fearful I might forget all my hopes of what might be
if you and me joined sentences, FIGHT!

I can't remember your voice
I can't remember how to spell your name
I can remember you corrected me
I can't remember what's right

I can't remember your eyes
I can't remember your rear
I can't remember your number, thought I had it memorized

I can't remember how I tried
how you tried
how I tried
I can't remember how I died
but to forget you is to have wasted my one life
from my nine lives

Proud of all the people who have given me reasons to go.
Prouder of the few who have given me reasons to stay.

Araw ng kagitingan April 9, 2011: for you who I have loved with all my might.
