Still You Poem by Niyitanga Pacifique

Hi, are you okay?
I pray you be fine
And get blessings,
All from God.

You're still pretty?
I hope you are, and
You can smile, sing,
and dance at night.

Do you remember?
Me and the old you,
Our moves, my jokes
And your laughter.

Do you sleep at night?
Like you used to, with—
your arms spread out
And talk from dreams.

Can you wink now?
I still remember you,
Your eyes off glasses,
And your tomatoes.

Tell me, can you play?
Cards or crosswords,
Or find the difference
In the pictures.

You still eat or drink?
Is tofu still delicious,
Or your throat can't—
Sound as it used to.

Do you even know?
That I kiss and cuddle
Your pictures and the—
letter you wrote to me.

Hmm, you're sad now?
Forgive me, forget it.
It's not the first time,
But this is the last one.

Please, can you?
Take this as no offense,
And delete if you want,
But read this 'I love you.'
