for a time you made me happy

For a time you made me happy...

There were those days when we'd just hang out, do nothing, smoke our cigarettes, have Coke Lite and good conversation. You, me and 5 bucks.

For a time you made me happy...

That time you picked me up for lunch and we went down to Jollijeep. I had kare-kare with alamang and you pork giniling. We split an extra rice and had a 12 ounce Coke. You looked at me in amazement, not believing that we were there eating lunch. After a month I asked you what our best date was. You told me it was that time, when we ate the greasy food at Jollijeep, amidst the busy street of Valero.

For a time you made me happy...

The first time you went to Los Banos and we hung out at the field. The air would not stay still for us, mountain breeze bringing the smell of impending rain, and yet, we sat there eating Salt&Vinegar Pringles and longgan.

For a time you made me happy...

When we went to Boni to have your hair cut and we took the banca going back to Makati. We talked all afternoon, about anything and everything. You were more than a boyfriend at that time, you were my friend.

For a time you made me happy...

What I didn't know was, it was only for a time. Not for forever, which I thought was what we could have. Instead, you gave me pain that I hoped I would never again feel.

But still...

For a time, you made me happy.
