When I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were the one I wanted to be with for eternity.
Sounds cliché, but that is the only way I can describe the feeling that came over me.
You were so fine, I said forget being ladylike, so I approached you.
I confessed that I had been admiring you; you said you had been watching me too.
At the public library, usually the place to do research and check out books,
but my heart was in search of the one who would make me throw away my black book.
We sat and tried to get acquainted but were hushed a hundred times.
To keep from being put out we left on our own.
I gave you the digits to all my phones,
Even though I really wanted to follow you home.
The electricity I felt when you hugged me turned me on.
If we had been in private you better believe it would have been on.
You walked me to my car and opened the door for me,
It had been many years since I had encountered such chivalry.
As soon as my ass hit my “Wild Cherry” seat, my juices started to flow.
You had already made love to my mind and we still had on our clothes.
From that day on, we talked a lot on the phone and there were public places we would meet.
We didn’t go to our places because I wasn’t ready for you to find out I was a freak.
But when you hugged or kissed I’m sure I seared you with my heat.
I had to wait a while so I could find out how you really felt about me.
After a few months, I finally let my guard down.
The time had come for me to let my hair…okay weave…down.
When your brown skin touched my brown skin,
Like Arie said I couldn’t tell where yours begin or where mine end.
I knew right then that my life would change because you had stamped your name on it.
We were in a chocolate love parade and I didn’t give a damn if it rained on it.
I had finally found my lifelong soul mate
And if I was asleep I never wanted to awake from that dream state.
We went at it another time or two;
I had to make sure the first time wasn’t a fluke.
But each and every day we locked ourselves away,
It was always fun whenever we would play.
I saw the happiness written all over your face,
You didn’t have to say a word, but you did anyway.
You told me how you appreciated my creativity and my smile.
I said, “Boy, you just like my doggie style.”
You laughed and admitted that attribute was high on the list.
But you said you were most happy when we shared a kiss.
You told me you longed for a lifetime of moments like this,
As long as you had your Suzy Q, your life would always be full and rich.
Then when you got on your knees and offered me a ring, shit.
I didn’t even wait until you said it.
I said, “Let’s do it right now.”
“I ain’t got nothing against the court house.”
But you told me to calm down,
So we could set a date.
February 25, my birthday.
Boy, I cannot wait (close eyes).
(Alarm goes off) BAA BAA BAA BAA
What is that sound?
I open my eyes and feel my smile turn around.
I threw my clock out the window and watched my dream fall to the ground.
