Parting with Roure

In the hush of whispered memories, I find,
A melody of moments, soft and kind.
Beneath the shade of Roure's gentle sway,
Our love bloomed bright in the light of day.

In the halls of University of San Carlos, we met,
Two souls entwined in a fateful duet.
Your laughter echoed through the corridors wide,
As we walked hand in hand, side by side.

But now the time has come to bid adieu,
To say goodbye to the University and to you.
Though miles may stretch and time may fly,
Our love's imprint will never truly die.

For in the quiet corners of my heart,
Your essence lingers, never to depart.
So here's to you, my dearest one,
In the golden glow of the setting sun.

May life's journey lead you to wondrous heights,
Filled with love, laughter, and starlit nights.
And as we part, remember this, my dove,
You'll forever be my precious treasure trove.

So farewell, my love, with a tear and a smile,
Our memories endure, across every mile.
A goodbye to Roure, a chapter's end,
But our love's story, forever, shall transcend.

- April 30, 1993, University of San Carlos, Cebu City
