Like the song..."how did you get here"
I never expected to see you standing in front of me.

All 5`5` of you listening to me whine and cry about how love did me wrong

Can’t find a good woman and all along
there you were just taking it all in and being my friend

I bet you there was nights you laid up thinking about us and wondering

Whether we could just be but not taking that step because

I said that all I wanted was just friends

Me never realizing that the woman I was searching for

Was right in front of me the whole time

Just being patient and kind
Waiting for me to get over the pain in my life
And become healthy again
Healthy enough to give her all of me without the baggage
She was just waiting and smiling silently listening
To my past hurts and haunts my ambitions my dreams
And like the ray of sun that she is she slowly turned my life around
I looked up one day
And couldn’t believe that I had the love I had been looking for standing in front of me

~Rico~

I had been patiently waiting..
For the day when I would look up
And see all 6,2 of you
Standing in front of me…
Grinning hard..
Brushing your hair back with your right hand..
Like you told me you did once
When you got nervous
I never dreamed that I would find him…
In another color
but this ain’t
Jungle Fever…
I am prepared to be his lover,
His soft spot, his wife even
For I came to him as a friend..
Someone who just wrote poetry
But now I stand as his shoulder
I uplift him with my simple words
And my patience
Because when his tears stop falling..
The pools of his eyes shine brightly
So., as a girl, I shared my ambitions and dreams
As a woman, I let him into my heart now
SwtT
