Poem
From Jeremy to Bibi
They come like flies around a stinking carcass,
They believe all the lines about their beauty,
They fall for my fake interest,
They are blind with infatuation.
But what about you?
Am I not sweet to your taste?
Am I not the right type of honey to make you fly my way?
Why does it seem like everyone, except you, is interested in me?
If I were a flower, just your look would make me bloom
If I were paper, only a word from you would start me on fire
How can I have a passion unlimited and you hardly know I exist?
When you walk into the room I watch where you walk,
where you sit,
who you talk to
When you smile, it warms my heart like an ice cube melting in front of a furnace.
Oh! Just to talk to you is what makes me happy all day
The normal kiss on the cheek, to me, is a lifetime lived in a moment
If you look my way, my day can't go wrong
If I see you across the campus, just watching you walk
revives me like twelve hours of deep sleep.
There are no words to explain completely what you do to me
Am I the only one that feels this way?
Is there not even a spark in your heart for me?
If there is, let me be the kindling
If there's a coal, let me be the fan
If there's a small flame that you hide, let me be the crane that lifts the shield
Give me a chance to show you my passion
Give me a chance to show you I care
If you see me with another woman, please know that I'm thinking of you
If you see me laughing with someone else, please know that my laughter and joy grows from you
Everyone around me fades away when you're near me,
All the flies around me just bother me
Why can't I change myself from a carcass that draws flies,
to a flower that will draw you to my nectar?
