Life After You

I used to stop and smell sampaguita flowers
and chew on mangoes all day.
I used to love rolling hills
and coconut trees.
I used to love getting lost in the city
and take little buggies around town.
I used to love the sight of old cathedrals
and giggle at old drag queens.
I used to eat pork chops from a bag
and drink coke from a bottle.
I used sing with abandon
and love with abandon.
I used to write love letters
and scrawl my favourite songs on scented stationery.
I used to love Kareoke bars
and walking languidly in the rain.
I used to ride on Ferris Wheels
and cherish old family lockets.
I used to love holding hands
and long jeep rides to the park.
I used to eat fish balls from the bustling market
and devour spaghetti.
I used to hide in my closet
and giggle on the phone.
I used to dance in my living room
and sing in the shower.
I used to love sitting under velvet blue skies
and having quiet converstions.

But I don't do these things anymore.
Life after you just isn't the same.
