yes i see you
mmph, lawd hav mercy
there is nothing in this world more beautiful
than my sistas smile
i saw you just the other day
standing gracefully in line buying groceries
hot as hell all around
but you were still fresh as spring rain
smiling at your child playing carelessly
assuredness in soft mocha brown
eyes that carry the domain of my secrets
and all is right with the world
i'll push your cart to the car
place the bags inside
no thanks are necessary my sista
my service to you is unquestionable
as i walk away i want to leave with you
the memory you make life worth living

yes i did see you
holding a stack of books in those delicate arms
allow me to help you with that load
as a brotha i'm here to carry the weight for you
dark chocolate essence
natural too
that smile takes my breath away everytime
i don't know what to do
let me share in the knowledge you aquire
in fact, i should pick up more books too
we shall read on the magic of our union
from yesterdays goodbye to tomorrows kiss
this will prevent our undoing
you question my intentions silently
don't worry my sista, this is not the regular
a few moments are more than enough
to feel the glory of your presence
i walk away happily
while whispering to my ancestors about our meeting

yes i see you
working hard today
stamping prices and delegating responsibility
my sista do your thang
honey toasted almond
with authority that doesn't come from the wrong desire
helping me fine exactly what i need
while setting my heart on fire
i know you're tired right now
but it doesn't show in the smile you give me
makes things warm and cozy
reminds me of home
yes i'll take this...and this...and put this on layaway
no, i won't ask for your number
just to be near you is enough
to know there is hope for my childrens future
taking my bags i turn back and look
see your smile just once more
you wave in a way that lets me know
loving you is unconditional

yes i see you
everyday in all kinds of ways
for those i didn't mention don't think i forgot
i see you too
making the peace in loves imagination
i bow my head to you
mmph...lawd hav mercy
i see you right now
and there is nothing in this world more beautiful
than my sistas smile
