Why my love will never die (for Kemo)

By: Nicole Perez Peaches

Every once in a while, I'll catch a glimpse
in your eye.
I'll shed a tear, but when I'm with you
I will not cry.
I grasp every moment in your tender care,
No matter what, I know you'll be there.
I lay my head on your chest, a steady heartbeat
is what I hear.
Even when you're not around, I feel as though
you were near.
I have all of your possessions here in my sight,
And when I smell your blanket, everything feels
so right.
I have no pictures of you here, and I don't think
I'll ever need one,
Because with or without a vision of you, I know
there's a love here so true.
I just received a call, and it was from you.
I listened as you talked, you hoped I'd do so, too.
But I didn't...
Instead I froze, I felt a rush,
I wanted to tell you that I love you so much.
The words were delayed, just like my feelings for you.
But I didn't fight it, not this time anyway.
This paper is a mess, just like my mind.
What I want the most I can't seem to find.
Twisting and turning in my bed at night,
Wishing you would never leave my sight.
Jealousy some call it, others disagree.
I just can't picture you with another girl, if that
girl's not me.
I listen to songs, so perfect in detail.
Every verse describes a feeling that I fail to mention.
But if I had another chance to describe how I feel...
I would recite a fairy tale, and make it so real...
