This poem is inspired by a special friend who has some feelings for a special guy, yet she knows she cannot be together with that person due to many barriers… Actually he has too many girls surrounding him and she’s just out of his league, she’s too sincere and too nice for a playboy. In the end, she requested that she be his little sister for that is the only way to keep him by her side forever. She doesn’t want to be one of his lovers turn into strangers… She sincerely wants him forever and so the only possible way is to make him her brother… Upon her request… the guy rejected her on the grounds that he will merely be a distant memory once she’s married… and so this poem is her answer to that…
Poem composed March 19, 2009
A mere distant memory
Right after I marry…
How could you say that?
Stab me in the heart like that?
You know that forever I want you
But I know I mean nothing to you
While you mean so much to me
So brother and sister let us be
To get through life, side by side
Each in our own different world yet together
To brace through storms, ride by ride
Each in our own separate lives yet forever
A simple fellowship and not more
An ear to listen when in fear
A heart to hold on to so dear
Is that too much to ask for?
I cannot bear the thought of being your lover
Entangled in one passionate night together
And in the morning depart as a total stranger
Dissolving into the capricious weather
Please torment me no further
This courage is all I could gather
To request that you be my brother
And let me stay by your side forever
