I first saw her in a glowing white prim dress, she was on a sustained hop like a bumble bee charming everyone in the room. Her hair she wore in a twisted nappy-crop tangled and revealing the glowing lace of her eyes. Time was wrapped in a warp as she danced past my adoring stare with petulant flair, scented in something dry but candid sweet, like fresh scarlet roses.

Pearls and Ivory, her smile was as immaculate, her skin bronzy and laced in genuine Pearls... MY life stopped for a minute while my heart took the school boy leap, and in my dreams we lived happily ever after in certain heaven with a big garden. And then I said hello and I knew then that my troubles had just begun, cause she replied and her voice consumed me. She spoke in a tone that reached my spirit, as if to assure me that heaven indeed existed.

And we wrote many pages to a love story for days on end. Even though my heavenly ancestors disapproved of her blood, the magic of she took me on a trip for miles and miles. She loved the idea of me as if I were a catch ordained to bring back her past innocence. But lover this silent killer knows no limits, takes equally from paupers and kings my queen. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she yearned for a forever that was out of reach. I could see it in her words, the weeping heart of a soul lost to the world. When the Lord comes back I swear she will ask for my hand.

So I played a comforter with a heart that believed in a ceaseless forever. The story of two hearts entangled by earth movements, philosophies and the coincidence of Mars on Venus. We made love inseparable and her touch I could understand, and my back she tore when her walls got the rush. It was written on the stones and I believed, for I have never keyed into a lock like hers, and I know I will always mourn her in my heart.

Babe, when that day comes, I want you to know that I will be there, in your heavens and in your hells. Though the Lord knows, I do not want to forgo the chance to say goodbye the only way I know how.

Always and Forever Love You
Until the End of Time
Goodbye Lovey.

Dedicated to the girl I once loved, losing her battle to Aids as we speak.
