| When it was time | B |
| To say Christ's Peace | C |
| You took my hand in yours | D |
| And we said as one | E |
| ''Peace be with you '' | F |
| - | |
| When we touched | G |
| Our bare palms together | H |
| I felt the whole universe | I |
| Was in perfect alignment | J |
| Our first interaction | E |
| That lasted mere seconds | K |
| Seemed like a lifetime | B |
| - | |
| God Almighty | L |
| Must have been amazed | M |
| We did the ritual handsclasp | N |
| A deviation | E |
| From everyone | E |
| - | |
| We shook hands | O |
| So tight and fierce | P |
| Yours was so warm | Q |
| And so was mine | R |
| Like the feverish foot | S |
| Of an infant | J |
| The warmth seared through the heart | T |
| - | |
| The mass has ended | U |
| My eyes captured you right away | V |
| Despite the sea of people | A |
| That passed along the way | V |
| - | |
| You made | W |
| A long sustained eye contact | X |
| You have the most beautiful eyes | Y |
| I have ever seen in my life | Z |
| - | |
| The eyes that met mine were brown | A2 |
| Like dusts of cocoa | B2 |
| Over chocolate truffles | C2 |
| Melting from the warmth we exuded | D2 |
| - | |
| You smiled at me | L |
| My the creases framed | E2 |
| Your eyes beautifully | L |
| I felt your eyes | Y |
| Pushed into mine | R |
| And everything seemed in limbo | B2 |
| - | |
| I gathered all my wits | F2 |
| And then you said '' Hello '' | - |
| I mouthed the word '' Hi '' | - |
| Without a sound | G2 |
| We both smiled | H2 |
| - | |
| A little pain stabbedmy heart | T |
| When I saw you | I2 |
| Going the opposite direction | E |
| We parted without saying goodbye | J2 |
| With eyes full of joy and hope | N |
| That we will meet again sometime | B |
| - | |
| For the first time in my life | Z |
| I spent sleepless and restless night | K2 |
| The night that was so dark | L2 |
| I felt it was starry night | K2 |
| I am so excited | U |
| It felt like my heart beats | M2 |
| More than per minute | N2 |
| - | |
| I faced the morning | O2 |
| With so much glee in my heart | T |
| Grinning from ear to ear | P2 |
| Driven and with increased energy | L |
| - | |
| One misty day | V |
| You caught me unaware | Q2 |
| You were there | Q2 |
| At our front door | R2 |
| With the beautiful flowers | S2 |
| In your hand | T2 |
| - | |
| I don't know what to do | I2 |
| I just stood like a post | U2 |
| In the middle of the room | V2 |
| Staring at you | I2 |
| - | |
| My parents were fast as lightning | O2 |
| In attending to you | I2 |
| As they talked | W2 |
| I saw your face | X2 |
| Suddenly changed | Y2 |
| From happy to serious | Z2 |
| - | |
| I overheard them saying | O2 |
| ''You are already years old | A3 |
| At the threshold of adulthood | B3 |
| Our daughter is only years old | A3 |
| Just at the cusp of her youth | C3 |
| She is still under our care | Q2 |
| Seal yourself away from her '' | - |
| - | |
| Furthermore they said | D3 |
| ''When you are meant to be together | H |
| Fate will find a way | V |
| To make you together forever | H |
| In the meantime | B |
| Seal yourself away from her '' | - |
| - | |
| My eyes were clouded wth tears | E3 |
| You gave the flowers | S2 |
| But never looked at me | L |
| I was burned by the warmth of your hand | T2 |
| You touched the midst of my palm | F3 |
| It reminded me of our first encounter | H |
| - | |
| I discarded all the petals | C2 |
| Of the flowersthat you gave me | L |
| I inserted them | G3 |
| In every page of my book | H3 |
| To remind me of you | I2 |
| A tear suddenly fell on the petal | A |
| It stained the highlighted | D2 |
| Three loving words | I3 |
| - | |
| Time had elapsed | J3 |
| We haven't seen each other | H |
| The tree that I named after you | I2 |
| Had been uprooted | D2 |
| By super typhoon Haiyan | E |
| - | |
| Season of Lent is here again | E |
| The first time we met together | H |
| In this gargantuan cathedral | A |
| I brought the children | E |
| I teach and care at the convent | J |
| - | |
| We lined up for the observance | K3 |
| Of Ash Wednesday | L |
| Then I saw you in white robe | L3 |
| You put crosses of ashes | M3 |
| On all the worshipper's forehead | D3 |
