YOU’LL ALWAYS BE ONE (for Arson P. Quilala ‘Mr. Agaw Eksena’)

[original post here: December 15, 2009]

YOU’LL ALWAYS BE ONE

We have found you living in arrogance

You have given us so much annoyance

As much as you want to call for attention

You never failed to capture one

You were more than what you seemed to

In you, we found more than friendship

“Why mind them if I can be happy here?”

You never said, but you have always shown

You cared for us unselfishly

Be it too personal or not

All you wanted was our safety

And so you have assured our protection

Brave enough to sleep on the teacher’s desk

Confident enough to sing the RCC Hymn

No matter how petty the details are

We will always remember how silly you have been

They say death will always haunt everyone

Like it or not, accept the phenomenon

But how can you we do such thing as letting go

When everything only seems like a nightmare

We love you dearly our friend

We may not say it often to you

You must know that we don’t have to

‘Cause by heart, you are of great value

As much as we want you stay

Still we hope for nothing but your happiness

Up there with Him is an assurance of it

Though painful, to Him is where you’ll belong

No regrets that we have crossed our paths

Thank you for all the seconds you have shared

You will always be remembered by Aurumz

For in our hearts, you will always be one of us.

This is a poem I wrote for my soulmate while I was on the way back to Pampanga to be on his last night till his last day on here. 12.12.09

December 05, 2009, our dear friend Arson P. Quilala had passed away and had gone with God of that evening. It was the most sudden and tragic catastrophe that ever happened before 2009 ends. It was 20 days before Christmas but he had not any chance to celebrate it with his family and friends.

Last 13th of December, Sunday, the last time we laid our eyes upon him and gave him up to heaven. Though it was really painful for us, his friends, though we almost broke down and cried all our tears, the pain of his family is what really made us sad. We hope for their betterment.

My soulmate arson, we miss you, i never thought that such thing will happen, ni minsan hindi ko kinayang isipin na mababawasan ang Aurumz. It took me three days before I accepted it, pero honestly soulmate, masakit pa rin pag naaalala ko, alam kong wala pa to sa nararamdaman ng iba, pero sobrang namimiss na kita, soulmate, sorry kung hindi na ko nagtext nun ha, ikaw naman hindi mo sinabing nagpalit ka into sun, ika talaga! Eku makapaniwalang panindigan me ing pagiging “Mr. Agaw Eksena” mu, talagang binigla mo kami.

Don’t worry soulmate, iingatan ko sarili ko tulad ng bilin mo. Soulmate, dapat pag-akyat ko din diyan, tuloy natin kantahan natin ha, wala na kong kakantahan ng Parokya ni Edgar, nabawasan na rin nagtuturong maggitara sa’kin. Sana pag nagsama-sama tayong lahat ulet, tulad pa rin ng dati, sana kilala pa nating lahat ang isa’t-isa. Tulad ng dati, magbabonding ng bongga ang Aurumz, at papakainin mo na kami nung tatlong planggana ng spaghetti mo. Naalala ko tuloy nung pinagluto mo kami nung hotdog with ketchup. Haaaay. Sayang talaga son, ala ku ken during your last days here on earth. Sana nagka-chance man lang akong maka-heart to heart talk ka ulet. Namimiss ko na talaga lahat. Soulmate, wag na wag mong papabayaan pamilya mo ha, mas kailangan ka nila ngayon, we’ll be okay, alam naming hindi mo din kami pababayaan. MAHAL NA MAHAL KA NAMIN. SOBRA, HINDI KO ALAM KUNG GAANO KALAKI, BASTA MAHAL KA NAMAN. That three years with you is almost like a lifetime of friendship. Edaka akalingwan, mahalaga ka kekami ngan. Tandanan mu ita.. soulmate daka forever, im grateful to meet someone like you. With GOD, we know your happy there. AURUMZ TAMU! c’:
