For Monique
.

Would you like to talk to me before you go to bed?
I’m lying down by myself, facing a patch of boredom.
.

I can’t fall asleep tonight because you’re on my mind.
The only thing I can do is send you some text messages.
.

I honestly think you’re an exceptionally kind person.
And I want to embrace you and kiss you every day.
.

I’ve been lusting after you since the first semester.
Sometimes I fantasise about you and me making love.
.

I hope you don’t mind me expressing my feelings.
I’m obsessed with you and I wish you were my lover.
.

Sweetie, don’t you realize that I’m crazy about you?
I’d give anything to hear you say you love me too.
.

My heart beats fast when we have a conversation.
And I wouldn’t dare talk to you about eros in person.
.

I don’t want to annoy you or make you uncomfortable.
But I can’t let time slip away and not say something.
.

Monique, you’re such an irresistible young woman.
Nothing on this planet can compare to your beauty.
.

Your manner and appeal enamour my heart greatly.
And I just can’t inhibit my desire for you to love me.
