A2–B10:40
I cooked your favorite dish tonight.
Niluto ko ang paborito mong ulam ngayong gabi.
The recipe was from your notebook.
Galing sa notebook mo ang recipe.
I measured each spice carefully.
Sinusukat ko nang maayos ang bawat pampalasa.
But my hands felt empty.
Pero parang walang laman ang mga kamay ko.
The kitchen smelled like you.
Amoy mo ang kusina.
I wanted to feed you again.
Gusto kitang pakainin muli.
But the table is quiet now.
Pero tahimik na ang mesa ngayon.
I ate alone by the window.
Mag-isa akong kumain sa tabi ng bintana.
The food tasted different.
Iba ang lasa ng pagkain.
It was missing something important.
May nawawalang mahalaga.
Maybe it was your laugh.
Siguro ang tawa mo.
Or the way you said 'it's good'.
O ang pagsabi mong 'masarap'.
Cooking alone with your ghost
