The Civil Code of Love

RA 14344

This Act shall be known as the “Civil Code of Love.”

Where I found the deep true sense for him I have.
In highlighted text and words written on pages,
My heart beats as the season suddenly changes.

Emotional capacity, which is the fitness to be the subject of relations,

Is inherent in every person and is lost only through lack of emotions.
He is alien in the core of my being before we met,
Naturalized by his chivalrous deeds and words he said.

Countless days having elapsed without any word,

I wonder if he will still make me part of his world.
Suddenly he said, “I will be yours and you will be mine.”
From then he is res alicujus on that moment in time.

We hold each other’s hands in a crowded place

And the only one I see is his beckoning face.
There is nothing to quiet our title,
It is as if I won every single battle.

Act of liberality where he disposes gratuitously

All the things that are in favor of me.
We spoke of language and dialect we only knew
All my days had never turned blue.

He is the love I wish would never prescribed,

By the lapse of time, our family had subscribed.
He was the first love I prayed would never end
A love that’s valid and true that is heaven sent.

I gave him all that I could give and do in his presence

As he is obliged to take care of it with proper diligence,
Along the way he gave me his undivided attention
And in return I showered him my pure affection.

For over seven years a partnership was formed

So lucky we still profit despite of our life storm
The only thing that was left for us to pledge
Is EO 209, to enter the contract of marriage.
