Our Wondrous Love Affair* by Gil Camporazo Riiing! Riiing! Riiing! The school bell sounded For the class appearing That it has ended. In a distance whereof Someone craning his neck Expecting her to come thereof To a Mabolo tree so to speak. He and she had met In a happy mood in their faces. Reaching her hand so sweet Leading to one of the concrete benches. Both looked at their eyes Something hidden unexpressed. He grabbed her right hand so nice And opened his mouth and expressed. The three-word phrase came out Direct from his heart addressed to her. Without so much ado she took it out And replied, "I love you, too, dear." What a wondrous love affair For them in this love month of February They became sweethearts so fair And later hubby and wife for time and eternity. © gilcamporazo February 2020 *This had happened sometime in February 1969 when my wife and I studied in one high school. And we met accidentally at the improvised study hall one afternoon. The Mabolo tree is our meeting place when we had a vacant and after our classes in the afternoon we met before we went home.
