Oh Leah
by Richard M. Joseph III
Oh Leah
Oh Leah—no more lie—
I wish I could express my feelings
Like the fireworks...
Bursting in the dark sky.
I wish I could do certain things
Like stop wondering how life works,
Thinking about how we cannot get along,
How much differences we have,
And how much you would like my song...
I wish life was simpler... Well, flirting is all we have.
I wish I could hold you,
Caress your cheek and kiss you.
Nonetheless, I wish I could not do some other things,
Like keep fantasizing about you,
Watching you spread your wings,
Flying away to your nest, with rue;
And then coming back—with a chaming smile—
Working side by side with me
Whereas worrying you will depart in a while.
I wish I could take you
To the other sides of the mountains with me
Hoping that everything would be new.
Well, I guess it is not like that...
No more lie, I do love you... and do not say what!
