FRUITFUL POEMS

#My other half

I strum my guitar like I always do,
Here I am longing for you,
Memories of us flashed on my mind,
Your laughs and smiles that shined,

You are kind and lovely,
I also missed your childish personality,
You were simple as it was,
I'm very thankful that we're on the same  class,

I remember the day you cried,
And all you said was "I'm just tired,"
I know you were lying,
But I choose to comfort you and stop over thinking,

One day I saw you outside the principal's office,
I'm standing seven meters away and you didn't notice,
Suddenly your parents go out from there,
I felt sadness in the atmosphere,

The next day you came,
You hugged me but it's not the same,
I ask you "what's wrong?"
And you said " be strong,"

I want to ask you more,
But all you did was sleep and snore,
I let your head lay on my shoulder,
I'll stay here with you and be your protector,

I'm happy to be with you,
I hope you too,
I kissed your forehead,
Please be with me till the end,

Weeks passed by and you didn't enter our classes,
I called and try to visit you but I got no responses,
You locked yourself in your room,
Now I'm here outside of your bedroom,

Days had passed since I didn't see even your shadow,
I'm here outside of your house— hoping that you might peek from your window,
I can't help myself so I rang the doorbell,
But no response now I felt hell,

I don't know what to do,
And the last thing I knew,
They'd ran you at the hospital,
My tears fell and my heart goes abnormal,

As I reached the hospital you've been confined,
I saw you in a room that I can't defined,
You're laying at the bed,
My tears continued to shed,

The doctor said you have a cancer,
And there's no medicine to offer,
Your parents cried for what they know,
And her I am cold as snow,

I'm angry and afraid,
The things I heard was like a grenade,
I'm here beside you holding your hand,
My knees are weak— can't find a way to stand,

Days passed by and you're getting weaker,
Now here I am wishing to have a power of a healer,
Praying to give you more time to live,
Because I can't see myself alone when you leave,

One day you waked up,
You reached from me and my heart beat stop,
You smiled at me like you always do,
I kissed your hand and smiled too,

You said "I'm tired,"
And you said it while looking at my eyes—fired,
I felt heat on my eyes and here I am crying,
I'm alive but felt dying,

I said  "I know my princess,"
Then you ask "Is it okay if I take a rest?"
And that makes my heart broken,
But I smiled and said "It's okay—sleep now my best friend,"

I'm trying to be strong in front of you,
But inside I'm breaking too,
Before you closed you eyes there's something you said,
"I LOVE YOU" you smiled and here I am crying beside your bed,

Now you're gone,
The woman I want to marry was gone,
This is faith and I'll face it for you,
I kissed your forehead for the last time and said "I LOVE YOU TOO,"

I stop playing my guitar because it started raining,
I looked up the sky and start smiling,
I know you're there watching me,
Wait for me—my other half.
