she was named
ottilia jackson-jones
by her mother
it was a name that she
didn't love nor hate
it just simply didn't fit
her persona
everyone called her tilly
except from you david
you called her teelee
she didn't mind however
your soft gentle accent
was like an everlasting
melody to her ears
she loved it when
you whispered in her ear
sweet spanish words
she couldn't speak spanish
but listening to your voice
made her wish that she could
and one day, she would
you promised you would teach her
you promised a lot of things
but most of them fell through
she didn't mind however
as in her dreams you did
and it was enough for her
that she could dream
and she did
she dreamed of a world
where she was with you
and you made her smile
like she had never smiled before
but maybe she was confusing
the feeling of affection with love
she didn't love you
she couldn't love you
she didn't want to love you
but the harsh reality was
that she was falling hard
