The Boy I Love: A poem of two
The boy I love,
is funny. He makes corny jokes not taste that bad.
The boy I love,
is a great cook. His salsa is almost as good as his dance steps.
The boy I love,
is kind. He wakes up earlier than usual every morning so he can help the old lady cross the street.
How many guys does it take to change a lightbulb?
One. Because the boy I love can fix anything. From cars to world peace.
But theres one thing the boy I love cant fix.
Im dying.
The cancer came back. Its taken over my body this time.
Now the boy I love,
can't sleep. He lays next to me.
Checks if im still breathing every five minutes.
The boy I love,
cant stop looking at me with sad eyes.
He looks at me move around the room as if I was already a ghost.
The boy I love,
sighs of relief whenever I answer the phone.
He knows I haven't gone yet. He just wanted to make sure.
The boy I love,
doesn't want to live if I die.
But the boy I love doesn't realize
that the only reason I can keep living is because he's alive.
This is the second part of the story. The girls point of view.
