yesterday, i saw you in Ayala
we meet at the entrance
of Cafe Laguna,

there you wanted to have
a dinner for two
and have fun

and if possible watch
the movie that we planned
to view

i really wanted to say no,
but i don't want you
to be disappointed

i hate it, i don't want others
to think that i don't
really care at all

for what i'm after
is just a mere company
a friend, a buddy

someone who can tell me
and announce that
i'm not lonely.
