"I Named My Diary After You"

Ever since I first laid eyes on you I knew you were the one

I know that sounds cliche but it seems like cupid got me with a hit and run

I remember approaching you so nervously, my body all shaking

I asked you for your name

“Keiko”

I said that was a nice name and maybe the lake is somewhere we can go

And “Maybe” was your response

You didn’t realize the presence you had on my mind

And writing about you is where I would pass the time

It didn't seem like much but in class, you sat next to me

I didn’t know this was bond meant to be

All these feelings that were pent up

Nowhere to relay these messages

Then I had started to write these passages

These lines that described the feelings

The feelings that I had uncovered looking at the ceiling

It seemed like I could only escape to these lines

These lines that had every single thought about you in my mind

You don’t understand how bad I wanted you to be mine

And if I can tell you everything I wrote

I would probably break down and cry

When I said I didn’t like you, that was a lie

I love you

I love you

I love you

These three words I have written have left me with so much pain

So much agony

So much hardship

To the point I remain almost lethargic because of you

I know in my heart I can never tell you

So that's why I named my diary after you

Everyday I come home to you

Writing about how I feel about you

This Diary became the most important thing in my life

All because?

All because it has your name

It has all our memories in poems

They taught me to write about my love

They taught me that any thought can spread wings like a dove

This Diary of poems became my treasury

It feels like magic and sorcery

So now I am able to say without feeling weary

I love you Keiko

I love you Keiko

I love you Keiko
