    Common Denominator: YOU


    By:Eunice Orcino-Roxas

    To the world I’d say,

    I’ve comprehended every touch,


    Educed every words. And speculated every eyes,

    I’ve dredged the earth looking for a devoted love


    That’ll always stay and cruise the seas
    Searching for the soul who’ll never go away.

    But time had made me realized


    That there’s one I forgot to recognize
    The one who can love me genuinely
    And the only one who can complete me wholly

    Now I’ve learned to settle my heart


    No to someone, but myself
    This is truly where I should start
    The sincerest we can love is our self

    I may still scour the world for that someone


    Whom I’ll hold in front of an altar
    But at least I know, whenever I search for love,
    I’ll look in the mirror and think, ‘Oh, there you are.’
