poem

belle

[2021]

when my eyes finally close
and my body finally sleeps
i finally get to see your face
and finally feel complete

i climb in through your open window
i understand, it's strange
but i see you really in front of me
and something in me will change

instead of finding sorrow in our distance at the time
i try to smile and realize that love is nature's crime

the reason we will wait so long
is a personal test
depending on what we withstand
life will decide the rest

and though the thoughts will pain me
i tell myself every day
it doesnt matter how long it takes
because you love me either way.
