These Pages (2018)

All These Pages written long ago

By me

Have never meant so much

To me

I flip them and every time

I wonder what's on your mind

About me

There's a page full of hyperboles, imagery, and similes

But there's no perfect word to describe you

You're too damn pretty and too perfect

But girl I love you every minute, I admit it

When I flip through These Pages at night

I try my best not to cry

I gaze up at the crowded starry sky

Wondering if you also see the sky

And if similar thoughts flood through your mind

When I flip through These Pages day and night

I think about how we both seem too uptight

Flashbacks flood my mind

Of what we used to be

A scene that interrupts my my ongoing story

To tell of our

Rich history

There's just so much

I cannot take it anymore

It's likely they've opened up a secret door

That makes me realize

What I did all this for

But these flashbacks

That flood my mind

Of what we used to be, telling our story

And I just can't help but think

How all These Pages from long ago

Suddenly mean so much

To me.
