Alekashii, you gaze at me,
As though you can see through me.
Smiles that know it all,
Touch that reassure and never lies.
Alekashii , what love do you behold,
A love that never once flatter.
Even when I trusted you never,
You hated not, but bestowed.
Alekashii , what do you see in me?
That I deserves such loyalty as yours.
Time rolls by, people say goodbyes.
I turn and found you still looking at me
You stood still and smile,
With unwavering pursuit.
For the first time in a long time,I smiled
And call out your name 'Alekashii'.
