Things I have sacrificed
Efforts I have invested
Time I have spent
Love I have given
Thought they were appreciated
By the man I have always wanted
But I was wrong...
It's not what I expected
How do I "unlove"* you?
Asked by a woman named Genie
It was a scene from a movie
That totally hit me
Am I able to hate the one I love
Just because I didn't get what I believe I must have?
Or can I just learn to let go and forget
Of the man who doesn't want to stay?
I composed this poem after watching a Philippine movie "Starting Over Again."
