Grace Music Box

You’ll never know if true love will find a happy ending…only fate knows. But one thing is sure, true love will always leave a mark in one’s heart.

In my drawer lies a music box
Given to me by someone I love
She appealed to take care of it all my life
And put inside all the memories we have.

Hidden there are all thoughts of success
And each frustration we surpassed
She told me… whenever I’m sad
Just look inside the box and laugh.

I promised no one will know its contents
Nor its secrets never to share
When loneliness reigns and think no one cares
Inside the music box… she’s there.

All the dreams and vows
I keep them forever there
She told me… when I miss her
Just look inside the box and laugh.

  2. When can you know if that somebody is your true love? Ang hirap...but anyway, loving someone is a decision...so basically anybody can be your true love. Opinyon ko lang yan ha...LOL

  5. I have a different view when it comes to love eh... love for is a decision.. I don't believe in love at first sight nor true love.

  7. Wow! You made this? Lovely poem! But I don't agree with true love leaving a mark in one's heart. True love doesn't have to leave a mark, because love stays there forever. hehehe. Tama na, ang corny ko. :D

  8. Sweet. Someone gave me a music box too when I was younger. It's nice that you still have yours in safe keeping. Mine's lost and already forgotten. Hehe. :)

  10. When things aren't going so well, there's nothing like looking back on the good memories that you shared with someone special to you. It's definitely going to put a smile on your face in no time.

  13. I feel emotion while reading this poem. You knew you find true love when that person brings the best and worst in you vice versa. And you both still chose to be together.
