Remember me this way
When I have just woken up
Uncombed hair tied into a careless bun
Face still fresh from rest
Blurry

Remember me the way
I continue the week from a bad day
With my mundane thoughts
And everyday things
Incremental

Remember me this way
When I'm looking behind, smiling
As I don't always do
"It does something to your face--
Umaaliwalas"

Remember me this way
If you think of me at all
Umaaliwalas (v. present progressive tense) is a Tagalog term from the root word 'maaliwalas' that means serene, sunny and bright.
