Creative writing Poetry

I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind took it away I wrote your name in the sea, but the waves dragged it awayI wrote your name in my heartand forever it will stay I love you so much I won’t tell a lie I promise I will marry you the day I die Baby, where are you? I can’t find you I want to be with you

You are the one who makes me smile You are the one who makes me laughHold me please My life is just silenceMy life is just darknessWhen I saw you, I was afraid to meet you When I met you, I was afraid to love youBut now that I love you I’m afraid to lose you By: Zakaria Ait ArabCommon core student
