08/14/2008 Different Directions Poem by Coreena Dejesus

Is it true people like you can exist?
Did I miss that in the “man hating list”?
Every once in a while someone can touch your heart,
I wish I would have known that from the start.

I opened my eyes and couldn’t believe what I see,
Someone that’s kind hearted just like me.
Is it a front or the complete truth?
Nervousness as if I found it in my youth.

Every time you make me smile my mind wanders,
The thought of what if circles I ponder.
Time bearing down, only a few months left,
Every moment I take a constant theft.

I’m trying so hard to just get to know you,
You implied it can’t happen, this can’t be true!
Your smile, your touch, and kind eyes,
Dreading the day if or when we say our goodbyes.

Falling for you I’m trying so hard to fight,
But I can’t help to think it feels so right.
The day I watched you with your son,
Is the day my fears had just begun.

Your child brightens up your face,
I just can’t allow you to leave this place.
Something that feels so right can’t be,
I couldn’t imagine that pain see….

My father wasn’t a father you are,
I would feel the pain of that left scar.
Still fighting in twenty different directions,
One thing certain there is a connection.

Just go with the flow live everyday,
Tomorrow will be another today.
Your heart is still mending and so is mine,
Just hoping I’m not stepping out of line.
