ABSOLUTE

© RYAN GUILEY

She was sixteen with ambition,

Our hearts on fire setting the ignition,

I knew exactly that she was the one,

Chasing her, as our life story just begun.

 

She was filled with passion and desire,

Seeing pass her braces made out of wires,

That afternoon, they came off as she smiled,

It felt great, as we went shopping in style.

 

Every opportunity, we would spend hours,

I was the romantic as I would send flowers,

Sometimes on the windshield of her car,

Or in her locker, as I was aiming for the stars.

 

She was glowing and beaming all around,

Taking pictures all throughout the town,

She would write notes on my dinner napkins,

With beautiful eyes and hair with pins.

 

We would write letters and I still do,

All about our feelings and what is true,

Those early letters are somewhere today,

Along with the photos that always stay.

 

I wanted to be the only one to hold her hand,

Or to go down on one knee being her man,

She always sent shivers through my spine,

She was immaculate and always so kind.

 

We were absolute and just the perfect pair,

Every day together throughout the years,

Wanting to be just with her and without the fame,

Her soul and spirit, keeps calling out my name.

 

The wind blew as the tornado struck our town,

Someone is answering, making a roaring sound,

Ten years ago, that someone came to my aid,

As my home was my castle but still got invade.

 

The fear and terror never goes away,

Her spirit keeps me from going stray,

Even though were many miles apart,

Our love will never break our hearts.

 

Betty, just have faith and believe,

I will wipe those tears so you won’t grieve,

The water that comes out of your eyes,

Will be cast down into the soil to fertilize.

 

It will grow, and tell our true love story,

How I only wanted to be with you and no glory,

For the people who don’t believe in love,

Find your soul mate on Earth in peace like doves.
