We are not lovers
because of the love
we make
but the love
we have
We are not friends
because of the laughs
we spend
but the tears
we save
I don’t want to be near you
for the thoughts we share
but the words we never have
to speak
I will never miss you
because of what we do
but what we are
together

Never been the best at lucid expression,
So, I’ve developed this writing obsession,
Hoping you understand the love within,
The cursive strokes of my pen,
Yet I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t know,
In face to face encounters, I’d never show,
Hiding, because I’ve never dare told,
These hidden gems of my soul,
But I wish I were Bold.
Confident.
Sure.
I’d wish for one moment,
A one-on-one to explore.
No more hiding behind rhythmic lines,
No poetic jive,
No unintelligible babble, of nothing that matters.
But to say and be real,
In all sincerity how I feel,
And not one word will I forget,
And when I’m done, no regrets.
But I’ve been terrible from the start,
In separating my mind from my heart,
The only thing that would make me remotely brave,
Was if you agreed to meet me half way,

I hopped on a plane, because you were too scared to fly,
Got on the High Roller, when you were afraid of heights,
Inhaled the Nevada air, a place you’ve never been,
Danced in the night,
Brought my friends,
Maybe sinned.
The coaster at New York, New York, made me fear for my life,
And I walked til my feet hurt embodying visions of lights,
At night, in a hotel room, I slept on the highest floor,
All the curtains open for city lights to allure.
I dreamed,
I relaxed,
Didn’t worry about home.
I talked,
I laughed,
Endless memories captured in my phone,
All these things I’ve done, you never got the chance to do,
I lived for you.
For Mama…Love Dolisha
