I Know I Must Reach You

I Know I Must Reach You
**Melchor F. Cichon

Today, I know I must reach you
As we celebrate the seventh year of our love.
Today, I know I must share with you
These arroz caldo, bulalo, and adobo.
Yes, we are oceans apart
But I feel you are just beside me
Watching the rising full moon
At the foot of Jawili Falls.
Someday, I know we will have time together.
We shall have eternal happiness together.
Together, we will fill in those gaps
When we meet again.
