One Night 

by: Ann Gray


One Night is an elegy from the wife which is the speaker, who had dreamed of her husband who is already dead. The wife seems not yet over with her dead husband, the memories keeps on banging to the wife's mind and so she seen her husband in her surreal dream.

From the elegy, it described the series of action that the husband did in the speaker's dream.  It was one night when the wife saw her husband noicelessly removed his sock. Then, she saw his husband went into the drawers wondering with his clothes and his wardrobe. Afterwards, her husband lift the photos and he seems wondering with the faces on the picture, and later on realized that his son is already married. Finally, the wife noticed her husband went to the bathroom and do his routine and then her husband came closed to her asking " what happened?" and she replied " how long have you got?" 

The exchange of question by the speaker and her husband was incredibly a sad ending statement. Even though it was all a dream of the speaker yet I could say that it was seemingly true. Indeed, "it is hard to forget someone who gave us so much to remember” because the memories you have shared with each other are already engraved in your mind and heart. And so, if that person gone it will be hard to move on because the memories will keep on hunting you and  you know that some things won't be the same anymore.

There are times that these foreigners asked us for the location and we, Filipinos tried our best to answer their question in the basic English we knew without really giving care to our grammar and pronunciation because we, ourselves struggling to use the English language....
