They found themselves in love amidst the distance between their souls. They both encountered at a time when space had to keep them apart. She said it happened, the falling in love part and the ‘kilig’ moment, in the waiting time. In the fact and moment that you had no choice but to put your whole emotion out there and then wait and wait and wait to see if the words had been received. Digested. Accepted. There was no instant conversation. There were no thoughts threw sloppily upon a screen.

Immediately following the statement they kissed each other's necks is the statement that the girls also 'We sucked each other's breasts, and we left marks, and never spoke of it upstairs / outdoor, in daylight, not once' (11).

The first line of this pair perfectly manifests the tension between memory and loss which is present in the poem. The line break after the word 'was' presents a reading of the words before it as simply an affirmation that the desire between the girls and their physical intimacy actually and really existed.

The unlikely characters of “(love song, with two goldfish)”, the “He” in the poem is primarily focussed on as he is abandoned by “Her”. The progression of his isolation starts when “Her love’s since gone belly-up” and the stylistic of the parenthesis also is a tell to show their separation as the last stanza is split more and more as it gets closer to the end(Chua 18-19). The parenthesis were symbolic for the relationship between he and her or more visually the fish bowl that they shared and as they separated so did the bowl. The effect on the two goldfish was a little exceeding of the acceptable amount of dramatic but was accurate enough to represent what isolation can cause. The use of graphic diction such as “belly-up” can infer a deeper form of melancholy, one to a degree of life threateningly depressed after being isolated by one’s love.
The love is categorized as a deeming and damning affection therefore mastering the hardship of what love is or is perceived to be. Looking at the first stanza, one is able to notice that it starts off very romantically.

The Philippines has always had a rich musical history. It takes its roots from the indigenous tribes of the Philippines, who used it as a way to pass on epics and stories about gods and heroes, a way to celebrate good harvests, festivals, weddings and births, a way to mourn the dead, to court women, and a way to praise the gods. This music was then enriched by the Philippines’ western colonizers. The Spaniards imparted the zarzuela (called sarswela in the Philippines) and the rondalla, adding more Spanish touches to Filipino folk songs. The Americans, on the other hand, influenced the Philippine music scene by introducing pop and rock, eventually leading to the creation of “Pinoy pop”, which included a wide variety of forms like dance tunes, ballads, rock n’ roll, disco, jazz, and rap.
