Things

Out of all the things I could express

I’d only want them to be these:

I have found a light in you

You have ignited a light in me

A light that I shan't let die

A light that often times keeps me awake at night. 

I often dream of being your Lady

The kind of lady D’Angelo describes

When they all wanted to rob him of his girl

You make me want to help you discover

All of my secret treasures

Every intimate thought that I hold dear

The things that make my soul ache

My heart skip a beat and my mind wander at 3AM

It takes all the strength I have

To not bore you with chit chatter & my day’s mishaps

All that I ever want to be

I want you to know, feel, and see

How ever did I find a love so deep?

Why was I blessed to see it and feel it, but it's grasp I cannot keep?

I am forever grateful for the physical doors you refuse to let me open

And the metaphysical doors that opened themselves because you’re here.

Whatever happens, just promise to remain my forever friend.

With love, I express these things.
