ne me quitte pas.

Emmanuel

My English professor asked us to write a poem about a past or a current intimate love. I had no one else in mind so I had no choice. This doesn’t necessarily mean that I am still into him. That is soooo long over. This is very brief, though. I had a lot more to write but I only had 5 minutes because I am such a lazy bum and I’d rather play Block’d on my phone than do my homework. So here it goes:

When I look into your eyes

It’s like watching the night sky

Or a beautiful sunrise

It makes me feel like I can fly

We were once like the mountains

Immovable and indestructible

Love nourished the relationship it sustains

But somehow it’s still impossible

For you, without hesitation, I fell

Maybe there’s something about your name, Emmanuel

After all that’s been said and done,

I can’t believe that you’re now gone.

Although this love has died,

I still thank you for the ride

If not for you, I would not know sacrifice

I’m still grateful though love won’t suffice.
