Skin that radiated such of nature's bay

Bouncy hair that appears in fluffy curls 

Light brown eyes that wield the sun's rays 

Glimmering teeth that shone next to pearls

Initially, I have trailed your very paths

Admiring your brilliance from a distance

Unitl morphing to...whatever this is

From you I understood life's perseverance

Gained knowledge of classical books

Took notes of charismatic appearance 

Making me distinguish between love and abuse

Guiding my footsteps into heaven's march

Saving me from igniting my suicidal bomb

The cherry blossom tree in our schoolyard

In spring adorned your face with dove songs

Performing the waltz in our old parking lot

Where we played kickball, tag and hopscotch

Under starlight, whispering with no dialogue

Memorizing your heartbeat like a silent drum

 

My precious little hazelnut
