Rahy

Rahy is not my real name, you know Behind is a real person though Rahy is what my mom used to call me It smells like love and her white blouse frills When she put her moist lips on my cheek Rahy is not my real name, but it’s a name I love It reminds me of days, when sun was really bright And our laughs could shake the whole house When I told her elementary school jokes Rahy is not my real name With the wrong accents and wrong stress, no one can pronounce my name I prefer you to call me Rahy, that’s what my mom used to call me! Don’t forget to put some melody to my name, that’s how she used to say A tad bit of affection, and a life time sacrifice… That’s how you should call my name Wait.. that was her.. Never mind!
