Why is my salary any business of yours

a Pantoum Poem
K is the kisses you put on my lips.
A is the adoration I once held for you.
I is the ice you put in my heart when I found out.
T is the time I spent trying to forget.
L is the love I long for after what you did.
Y is you. Forever a part of me because
N is now. Who I am today.
How I've grown and how I've changed.
Some people are a gift.
You are a gift in pretty packaging.
You are a lesson
That changed me forever.
I sit underneath the pale moonlight
underneath this night sky by your side.
As I stare into your deep green eyes.
that feel me with that passion and joy
of having you and seeing everyday
I think of all the times we had
and how many more we will
and cherish every second
that I have spent with you.
Taken by your heartbeat I smile
Knowing everynight I've spent with you
underneath this pale moonlight
knowing how much I mean to you.
I ask you only one thing and one thing only
will you be my valentine?
She will always be a friend
And she will always be a sister
We have our fights and differences
But she is one of the most people I trust.
She’s sweet, hard working, and kind
She is very smart and has a great working mind
She is boy crazy at times or just doesn’t care
I believe that see can take any dare.
Her eyes are like the ocean
And it’s like your looking at her soul
Which is sweet and you can see her happiness
As she can laugh until she explodes
She looks are dangerous
And the boys can’t stay away
She tricks them so easy
And she doesn’t care what they say.
