Love's Unguarded Expressions

Remember that moment
Hun Marl
when we went for groceries
at Robinsons?
I waited for you
to get out of the Teller line,
I saw you paying
for the goods
and then you saw me
and forgot about them
and ran towards me.

Also, we were in Baguio
at the Victory liner
and you went to get our tickets
bound for Pasay,
and a bus came to the terminal
and they said its about to go
and so I shouted at you
to run, so together
we could get on that bus
only to find out
it was bound only for Cubao.

What about that moment
when our flight back to Manila
from Iloilo was delayed.
And it was one unusual day
and it was meant to be
so we could use the time
for each other to linger on
as in our marriage
there is always
that element of surprise
and God's endearing presence.

Think about that evening
at SM South Mall
when we both agreed
to watch the movie "Invictus"
and passed the time
inside the theater
in sheer joy and rest
in each other shoulders
as we watched and got the message
of that true to life film.

As we move on from day to day
let's not forget even a second
where love's seed is sown
there will always be sprouting
somewhere in time
in our most unguarded moments
the song of love,
whispering hope, trust
and absolute faithfulness
for each other.

Ah, before I forget
the lights that flickered
that night of our honeymoon
from a 5 star hotel
along Roxas Boulevard,
our twinkling eyes
reflected in the semi darkness
until we let loose the curtains
and focused to where echoes
of our love reverberated
and made holy our union.
