Dark Paradise(completed story!)

Blinded Love

I always needed time on my own

I never thought I'd need you there

when I cry And the days feel like years

when I'm alone And the bed

where you lie Is made up on your side"

Jazmine smiled as she read her favorite chapter of Huey's novel. He has a part about a young biracial girl named Yasalina who was blinded by her imagination. He mentioned that Yasaline used her special power(her imagination ) to block the agony that surrounded her life.

"When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day

And make it OK I miss you"

He talks about how sweet and innocent she was and how she struggled to fit in with her African American culture along with her Caucasian side. It was so obvious that the character Yasalina was about her, and it made her blush when he described her as sweet, beautiful and adventurous.

"I've never felt this way before

Everything that I do reminds me of you

And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor

And they smell just like you,

I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?"

She knew that character was inspired by her and she wishes she could thank him for not forgetting about her because she had never forgotten about him. She wanted to buy his book in person so she could see his face again, but she knew her husband wouldn't allow her. Therefore, she ordered them online like she always did with his books.

"We were made for each other

Out here forever I know we were, yeah, yeah

All I ever wanted was for you to know

Everything I do, I give my heart and soul

I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me, yeah"

She smiled as she read the speech he wrote at the end of his book, she was so proud of him. She had always admired his intelligence and she enjoyed hearing his sight and perspective on things. She hopes her future son will become a man that is as great as him. She held the book to her beating heart and cried her heart out, she missed him.

She felt so close to him even though he was a thousand miles away. She felt like a part of him was there with her and she loved to pretend at night that he was laying in bed holding her in his arms, even though in reality, he was out there holding and loving someone else.
