ROMANCE Poem: sweet, sweet, sweet…, by Samuel Reis

sweet, sweet, sweet samuel
do you still think about me?
when you wake up 4 A.M. anxious about the studies
looking at your computer
sweet, sweet, sweet pretty boy
do you read your poems and think they’re bad?
i read some of your work and your mind is unusual

sweet, sweet, sweet gracious man
do you really think you will ever go blind by the sun?
you spread all the light and you’re the one i should’ve chosen

sweet, sweet, sweet goodbye
sorry that i made you cry
your birthday was last week and i still think about you everyday
sweet, sweet, sweet carolina
raise your hands if you desperately want someone you shouldn’t

sweet, sweet, sweet greatest mistake
when i wake up 10 A.M. you’re the thought i always run into
sweet, sweet, sweet star dust
i bet you still remember the trail between my place and your old school
otherwise you wouldn’t remember my name

sweet, sweet, sweet samuel
i could say i am sorry, i love you or i miss you
but i’ll just say “i dare you to remain the same”

sweet, sweet, sweet waxing gibbous
please, bring my full moon back to me
