Dream Love

Writing a long, lucid love poem
Can be like a sad, sad, country song
Singing about loves, lost or forbidden,
or loves that did not belong.

Well, my love comes on the radio
And sings love songs to me.
A thousand miles away in Atlanta,
He hails as the king of  "Crunk n B."

His lyrics are his love letters,
His interviews our dates.
Reading and collecting his magazine articles
Keeps me close to my soulmate.

I can pretend his words are for me only,
And think the radio is like the phone;
Act like the many posters on my walls
Are the pictures he sends me when he's away 
and I'm at home.

Everytime I go to the store
I swear his CDs speak to me
And consume all the money in my wallet
When they scream, "Buy me, buy me!"

A star struck, lovesick teenage girl
Is what my mother says this feeling means
For Usher is a multi-millionaire superstar
And our love is only in my dreams.
