• I met him when I was ten.
    After talking he became my friend.
    He was so kind to me,
    Being with him makes my heart so glee.
    We were always together,
    Separating never.
    But Money was so cruel.
    It stole away my jewel.
    His family had troubles,
    That left them in rubbles.
    He had to leave,
    A fact that I couldn't believe.
    He never said goodbye,
    Which brought a lot of tears in my eye.
    My heart broke and bled,
    Tears of river were shed.
    Everyday was not blithe,
    Without him I see no light,
    Yet there was nothing I could do.
    Years passed and I grew,
    I moved to the city to work.
    Late at night in the city there was a jerk,
    He tried to assault me.
    I screamed to be free.
    He tried to give me a punch,
    However, no damage landed as was my hunch.
    I opened my eyes and saw a man,
    Standing tall, handsome, and tan.
    He strongly held the jerk's arm
    Which gave him an alarm.
    He got scared and fled.
    The man then asked me if I was fine.
    I told him I was okay.
    He told me to be safe and went away.
    I couldn't see him in the night,
    But I felt that I knew him,
    Though the chances of him being that boy was slim.
    I saw him again in the market,
    He was wearing a very black jacket.
    My eyes met with his,
    Suddenly, I felt a moment of bliss.
    I knew that I know this man in some way.
    There was no other way he could make my heart sway.
    It became clear to me that he was that boy.
    My heart suddenly felt a lot of joy,
    However it was moment short lived.
    As I saw a scene I couldn't believe,
    A woman came up and on his cheek she kissed him.
    She was so beautiful and prim.
    I felt so sad and lost.
    Outside I walked like a ghost,
    With no life nor hope.
    I knew that I had no right to mope
    Because he had no relation with me anymore.
    But my heart can't help but feel sore.
    This was a truth I was I couldn't receive.
    My heart still couldn't believe .
    As I walked back to my house.
    I felt someone pull my blouse.
    I turned around,
    He was standing without a sound.
    His hand had stopped me from moving.
    I pretended not to know him and continued walking.
    He chased and to him close he pulled me.
    I burst into tears and told him to let me go free.
    He ignored my command,
    And grabbed both my hand.
    He said he has longed to see me for years.
    His eyes were full of tears.
    He held me closed to him,
    While saying that life since he moved was grim,
    He was so sad and thought of me daily.
    Smiling gaily,
    As he said that he couldn't believe I was here
    With him to share with each other joy and tears.
    My heart was wanting to accept it,
    But I knew better than to be a dimwit.
    I suppressed my feeling and told him I saw a while ago that he has a lover,
    And I cannot be his another.
    He looked at me puzzled,
    By his look I was also befuddled.
    He suddenly smiled,
    And told me I was such a child.
    I got mad,
    He told me not to be sad.
    Explaining that the woman was his cousin
    Who came to a country where their greeting was kissin'.
    I was shock but relieved.
    This happiness I still couldn't believe.
    I hugged him tightly.
    He held me to him closely.
    We could finally be together,
    And share our pain and joy with each other.
