It happened when she first love.

The man she longed, who lived in pride.

She showed the love beyond comparison.

She gave it all with all decision.

The selfless girl craved the man’s love.

‘Till she heard the first words of grudge

*“Nikuttak ku so’ya…kalami!” said he.

She just smiled though wounded deeply.

That was the first time she heard his voice.

Those words he said though in no poise.

To her, those where the words of love.

To him, the words of curse.

Till then the girl gave up.

For she knew it was over.

She stopped loving but continued to live.

For she has nothing more to give.

*“Nikuttak ku so’ya…kalami!”
ibanag line (dialect from the North) which means "Sipain ko pa yan...malandi!" / "I would have kicked her...flirt!"
