Aliah's Gift* (Original Poetry)

For Aliah Mae Arquiza by Edward Allen G. Daos (08/20/10)



I know that writing this may seem like I'm trying to grab your attention
But just let me say how much care about you, baby thats my true intention
This the type of gift that wasn't bought, but it's the thought that counts
Ha, get it? Sweet and silly, you know thats what I'm about

I met you at a church retreat and I gazed upon a truly beautiful girl
But I must admit, I was stunned and you made my heart twirl
You probably already know, but I just wanted to get at you
Doin' whatever it takes, I was just tryna make you my boo

But I should admit why I wanted to be your boyfriend
Seeing you, my feelings would transcend
Into another dimension, unspeakable feelings
For some reason, I only wanted your sexual healing

But its just a feeling, it was so uncontrolled
But its the qualities you hold that I want to unfold,
Smart, sweet, and funny, and did I forget to mention adorable
And there isn't a day that you'll ever look so horrible

You used to call me up, 3AM, you couldn't sleep late at night
Or you had problems, still, talking to you, felt so right
And when you were hurt, your heart is what I wanted to mend
We used to vent all the time, but I guess that came to an end

I just want us to be able to console and vent
To each other once more, & know that I give you my consent
To say and do whatever to me, so that you can ultimately prevent
What you don't want or when I'm out of line, I don't care if it ends in torment

And there's just something about your eyes
Everytime I look at 'em, I become mesmerized
Your beauty is astounding, your face is something I will never forget
And I'd hate to see it sad and upset or filled with regret

Anyone would be lucky to be with you, baby you're a keeper
No one would ever be able to ruin your beauty, not even the grim reaper
But enough about you and your looks, let's go on a different subject
Oh, here's a little secret, I'll fuck up any nigga that shows you disrespect

I just don't wanna lose you, you're someone dear to me
And you know that I'll always be real with you, that I can gaurentee
So do you and be free, and be as much as you can be
And if you get sick, don't trip, I'll be your Vitamin C

Did I ever tell you how much I care for you
& did I ever tell you that when I saw you me heart wasn't just passing through
Cause see, I believe God gave me a chance to pursue
Pursue you, and bring you happiness like no one can do

And it's been awhile since we've seen each other or even hung out
Filled with doubt that we'll kick it again, I'm trying not to pout
Cause I'm getting too emotional, I feel like I wanna drift away
And I'm not bring you down, afterall today is your birthday

It feels like it'll be forever until we kick it again
I'm doing my best to restrain my inner pain
See I know your busy with life, and you hardly ever have the time
Cause I know you're living in the moment, that feeling is sublime

Motionless and emotional is what I've become without you
I'm just being honest with you if you didn't have a clue
I know it sounds like we had break up, but it's you who I honestly miss
And I honestly belive that you're the only one that can make me feel like this

If you can't sleep at night, just lay down and close your eyes
The feeling will be right, you'll be able to dream and fantasize
If you ever need someone to hold at night, I'll be your teddy bear
No wait, scratch that, I'm your one and only "Eddy Bear"

This is my gift to you, so embrace it if you choose to
Just promise me you'll always do you
And I ain't trying to be sappy, but
Live like you'll never live, and just be Happy.

Happy Birthday Aliah<3
