This is a poem that was written by Erin Lierl for Renee and I in Puerto Rico:
The girl next door
it took some time
before I learned
to make you mine
it took some dragging
by the feet
surrounded by
the steel drum beat
Love brewed up
just like a storm
we both grew up
and were reborn
and now our cyclone’s
at full speed
to star-crossed lovers
to you and me
