I picked up
A rose perfume.
It takes me back to a time
When it was good.
When
We were
Happy
And
Safe.
I remember
When
You looked at me,
And,
You gave me
A flower.
The color was
Hot pink.
It was so amazing,
How
You gave me
The flower.
It was like
You were
My knight
In shining armor,
And,
You were there
For me
And
Only me.
When
You were leaving
To fight
A war,
I wasn’t sure
You
Would be able
To come
Back.
And,
Then,
You gave me
A stuffed elephant,
And,
It had
Your smell.
I said,
“What is this?”
You said,
“Elephants
Always
Know
How
To come back.
And,
They ALWAYS
Come back!
Together
Forever!”
That’s
What he said.
But,
He never came back.
He stayed
And
Died.
I cried
And
Cried.
And so,
I said,
“Together forever.
And,
I shall ALWAYS love you!
And,
yearning for your kisses
And
Touch,
Your sound
And
Your voice,
When
You say,
“I love you.”
Next morning,
I get up
And
Say,
“Good morning, honey!
How was your sleep?”
Then
I realize
That
He
Is
Gone.
I just
Hope
I
Still
Exist
In
Your world.
I love you!
Wa ai ni.”
