Jesse

She was so far away, yet she was so close to me

Smell her perfume through the computer screen

Touch her silky skin through the keyboard

A plane ticket was something I couldn’t afford

We were young, in love, and without a dollar

Somehow I found a way to long distance call her

Every email laced with sugary vocabulary

Her golden heart was my only sanctuary

She was the first to be worthy of my love

I called her my angel from the heavens above

But with those wings, she flew away from me

Jesse never came back, not even in my dreams

We never had the chance to say goodbye

I never had the chance to ask her why

I never had the chance to chase her around

I felt stupid for falling for her like a clown

You could call it dopamine or testosterone

But she was the reason I never felt alone

You could call it heartbreak or depression

But this will be her one and only mention
