STEPH

She knew I was married

But she wasn’t deterred

She’s got a commendable sense of humor

The reason I love to stay around her

I’ve had to lie to enjoy one date or the other with her

She would come too close, at times too close for comfort

I could see her need for true love and nothing else

The more I try to stay away, the more we kissed

Each time we made out, nothing on earth would

describe her happiness

Little did I know she craved more than love

Little did I know she was dying

She always came strong, kissed strong

All I could see was strength in a young beauty

Who had been told she’s got a few months to live

She never mentioned it, I never suspected

She was always broke, I was never tired of giving

She deserved more than what I could ever give her

Little did I know she was taking care of medical bills

Sustained by chemotherapy over the years

She tactically hid that from me

Hmmmm!

I limited our frequent make outs because it was really getting rough

With guilt of infidelity taking over my life

I wish I had seen that coming

I wish I had satisfied her frequent desire for more

I wish I had paid more attention to unveil the top secret

I would have given her all that she requested

I would have driven her down to her street of pleasure

Where she met with happiness as often as she visited

I would have told more lies, created more time to merry with her

If only those would have prolonged her life

I got to know a few days after she was gone

Gone to be seen no more

I cried my eyes out…. but that could not bring her back

I deprived myself regular pleasures, ruminating over our hilarious gestures

It’s exactly 3years today, I still savour her presence

And Can’t stop thinking about her

Even though I do tell myself it’s wrong

As I am a married man

I overheard someone say “what a wonderful girl,

who brought smiles on faces even at the point of death”

I miss you a lot.

Rest on Steph
