CAMEO

9.5.2007

Reginald Fredericks

Today, last night, yesterday…I saw you

I saw your figure, that memorable shape of yours

Tease my eyes and highten my senses

But when you spoke, it wasn’t your voice

She looked like you, but she wasn’t you

I looked to see her name, but it wasn’t yours

Probably a good thing, I wouldn’t have said much anyway

Today, last night, yesterday…I saw you

I heard your name, that honorable legacy of yours

Tease my ears and pump my heart

But when you turned to look at me, it wasn’t your face

She sounded like you, but she wasn’t you

I sought to cry out to her, but it wasn’t the same

Probably a good thing, I would have turned you away

It doesn’t make much sense to me as to why this happens

But I do know that no matter where I go and what I do

Both of you, the two of you, double team my passion

My senses, my mind, and my thoughts

I can’t think straight when one of you are around

But while one of you tags my heart the other tags my desires

More than one of you, though, I see everyday

Whether it’s a street or a person, I can’t seem to avoid you

It’s like you’re a cloud that follows me here and there

The other is like a curse, though it be only in words

The very sound of your name sends me into a flashback

Of my past with you and those things that you said

Both of you, though, are around me all the day

I can’t seem to escape either of you

No matter what, you are always there

On one hand, I want you both to completely vanish

But on the other, that place in my heart is still yours

In love with one of you before, I was

The other, I cared for you but I craved your flesh

Oh…Princesses of time, why do your faces punish my memory?

Why is it that I can’t forget either of you, no matter how heard I try?

Last night I dreamt about one of you…

Are you okay? Do you need some help?

Do you hate me? Do you despise me?

Deep down, do you still care for me?

Your last voice to me told me otherwise…

But that’s okay…because I’ll pray for you anyway

The two of you, dear princessces, my prayers shall always be

I only hope, though, you two seek the Prince of peace

But wherever you both are, please just know this one thing

Your imprints are still left on me…I cannot erased them

Day by day, I’ll pray for you and cherish our good and bad times

But never will I forget…no matter how hard I try

Each day is just another opportunity for you two to shine

Your cameo, I will never forget, for it’s always before me

I only hope, in some way, that I have done the same for you
