Nightingale

Goodnight forever, my nightingale
Your heart has left me thin and frail
Your love has left me very pale
The love we shared is another tale

I meet new friends and i meet new faces
from different backgrounds and different races
all going in their different paces
in different towns and different places

But none of them can ever be
as good as you have been to me
And that's why this poem's specially
written for you, my love, from me.

(this is the first real poem I ever wrote, back in CTC in 1997. Jacqueline Iheme read it out at the 1st school concert.)
