Who. What. When. Where. Why.

I’ve loved five in my life.

Who. What. When. Where. Why.

Who, is who I heard across the room for the first time.

That soft and elegant voice

could persuade even the cruelest of leaders

to promote world peace.

What, is the scent of that perfume she wore.

I followed that scent and it lead me to

go up to her, with all the courage I had, and say

“Hey, I really like your shoes.”

When, is the time where we first held hands.

Through all that I’ve been through

she made me feel like

I wasn’t alone; I was wanted.

Where, is the place where we first kissed.

In a parked car, she reminded me of a time

when I was six years old eating my favorite candy bar,

enjoying every bit and savoring it till the end.

Why, is the reason I continue to write.

Seeing her gives me a purpose;

I am given a muse to express

my naked bits to the world.

When she’s around I have

one less problem,

one less obstacle because

I know that she is here, right in front of me.

You were the five that I loved.

You are the one that I love.
