      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      During the 1980s, in California, a large number of Cambodian women went to their doctors with the same complaint: they could not see. The women were all war refugees. Before fleeing their homeland, they had witnessed the atrocities for which the Khme

      A dedication to someone special (Original)

      Baby, I want you

      Right next to my heart

      If I just can’t, just can’t have you,

      Then I will totally fall apart.

      When I see you everyday,

      Honey I know you look fine

      I really want to be with you

      and hold you all the damn time.

      I need you in my life

      I just can’t live without you

      For all the things I do

      I just wanna make love to you.

      Maybe one day, I will make you my wife.

      If I ask you for your love’n

      and you tell me no

      don’t worry baby, I’ll never let you go

      I'll just keep a-buggin’

      If I can’t have you

      I’ll try, try, and try

      and if you still don’t want me

      I just might cry.

      By and by

      I want you more, I love whatcha do.

      As I gaze into your eyes and peek at your gracious body,

      I feel ashamed of myself so I run and hide.

      I finally realized that I need you by my side,

      But I look for you and you are gone.

      I love your body

      So that I wrote you this

      Please don’t dismiss

      Me ‘cause I can’t take the pain of knowing how both of us feel on the inside

      So baby, Will you be mine, ‘cause that’s how I feel on the inside.
