The sentimental yearning of nostalgia
Will never be strong enough to pull you back in.
I used to build dreams about you
I cut my hands on your broken pieces,
Now I have but their scars left to show.
Remorse is strange like forgetting how to breathe
Something once constant is now forever gone
Like losing a limb, my body is unaware of how to move on.

They say if it’s still on your mind, it’s still in your heart
But I’ve known that since the day we left.
The pain of missing someone permanently gone
It is not a pain that yet has a cure.
How bold one gets when we are sure of being loved.
Now I am sure of nothing
Yet I would still drop everything for you.

I am a mess of gorgeous chaos
Perhaps I loved you just a little too much.
But today, I just want to tell you why.

Why I had to ad lib this wack status.
Why I was convinced to go freestyle.
Why I'll pen every word with no fuss-
And it should only take a little while.

Why I will not use reference for this-
Block of lines that I dedicate to you.
Why I'll insist on calling this a piece-
Despite the fact its not so beautiful.

Why it seems like random thoughts-
Unraveling from a messed up brain.
Why it kinda is like a couple of dots-
Connecting to form a ****** chain.

Why I appreciate who you are to me-
So much that I say 'I really love you.'
Why I will always praise your beauty-
Though your persona's more beautiful.

Why I wrote you a poem but kept it-
Cuz I am not PrinceCharmer enough-
To explain my feels to you complete;
Why I have to cut this status in half.

Why I always count on your advice.
Why I believe you will have my back-
And thus endeavor to pay the price-
For someone who really knows Jack.

Why I think I'm sure about this one;
That you are smart, caring and wise.
That you understand Alex as a man-
Who dares but also smiles and cries.

Why I don't know how to be a poet-
Enough to write down my emotions.
Why suddenly our 26-letter alphabet-
Seems to be needing major additions.

Why this is where I will sign off from.
Why I wish I'd speak from my heart.
Why this status is just like any poem-
Without all 'why's to end from start.

Keep Smiling
