As i walk
along Manila Bay
with my friend,
there was only one thing
running on my mind.
I wish you were here.
Listening to the voice
of someone who's not yours,
holding the shoulder
of some other girl
made me miss you even more.
I was expecting for a sunset
that afternoon,
I wanted you to see it,
then there it is again—
I wish you were here.
Only to find out
that there wont be one
that day.
I just stared at my friend
while she was ranting
about her relationship.
Then my imagination
started to play with my thoughts.
If we were together
At that moment,
I would see a girl
With a big smile on her face
Telling stories about
Her love for food
And how happy she sounds
When she talks about it
With such excitement.
I wish you were here.
Then i stopped for a moment.
I told my friend,
"Let's sit down for a while"
I was getting tired
of walking along the bay.
As we sit there quietly,
as i noticed the crashing
of the water against the rocks,
I thought of you again.
What would we talk about
If you were here with me?
I could look at you all afternoon
just as how fascinated i was
with the water crashing.
I had to stop thinking about you
every time I'm with someone else.
I don't even remember the stories
my friend was talking about.
I was focused on
how much i wanted you
to be right there beside me.
But those words
Started to go on again,
I wish you were here.
I wish you were here.
Oh, God.
I wish you were her.
