POETRY: 'Yesterday' by Robert Drake

Today, she over a
thousand miles away
and yet I still find myself stumbling
stupidly over my
two left feet, wondering
if she'll ever come back
to me.
For you see,
this girl made my heart
take off into the high heavens
sending down love in
the form of crystal tears.
She made my feet move
to the sound of her
heartbeat even though I was
blessed with the ability to
dance.
She made wanna write little second
grade love notes that said :
"Do you like me, circle Yes or No"
Maybe so,
If she knew that I would
bring a titan to its knees
just so it would not harm her then
maybe "no" wouldn't have
been an option
I would auction off my love
if I knew she would be the inly
one bidding.
I would even marry her,
if she was here to stay,
But today, she over a
thousand miles away.
She would always be self conscious
of her own self without realizing
her beauty was in a league of its own,
and I would tell her :
"Baby do not worry about those
stretch marks, they are just God's way
of showing you that you are growing,
I love your brown skin and the way
it compliments your lovely
features, even the way
you wear your hair, in many different
forms yet each one makes
you look more gorgeous than
the last
and if the Bible could be rewritten
it would say that God kicked Lucifer
out of heaven because he did not look like
you.
Girl you are beautiful,
and by beautiful, I mean that you
are a complete blessing
wrapped in the fabric of my
deepest desires, tied with
a bow of dreams,
shipped off at lightspeed
and delivered to me by angels.
Like a thief in the night,
girl i want you to take my heart
like here...have it.
Because n distance can ever
separate two hearts that really
care.
And if velocity equals distance over time
all that really means to me is
velocity equals It doesn't matter over
it doesn't matter.
And maybe sometimes,
it Does matter.
But right now, it doesn't
Today she's over
a thousand miles away.
And even though she's not here with me,
I feel her presence wherever I go,
and tomorrow, we'll be closer
than yesterday."
