Mr. Right

 I know when you come I’ll be prepared for you.

I won’t always be the perfect lover though.

Sometimes, I’ll undercook our dinner.

I’ll start petty arguments some days, 

Tell you I'm too tired to do the dishes,

Maybe even tell you I need time by myself.

There's one thing I know for certain though:

Each day will be different,

but I’ll pour into them with as much effort as the day requires and then some.

I’ll have your best interest at heart 100% of the way.


I’m already so excited to spend my days with you,

And my nights in your arms.

I can see us embarking on a journey through some of my favorite activities,

At the same time learning what it is that keeps your soul smiling.

I’m overjoyed about the places we will go, and the foods we’ll eat.

I can’t wait to hear all the stories about your life.

And to learn special quirks about you in the moment as we make our own stories.

I’m excited to fight over which couch looks better in our living room,

and to make our own annual traditions.


Everyone is claiming they know how to get us to each other.

And I must admit it’s taking you a long time to get to me.

But what I do know is that god makes no mistakes.

And he’s telling me I’m not ready for you yet.

He’s shown me through guidance that I’m getting closer,

but I still have some self work to do.

I’m in overdrive with emotion to love.

But I haven’t yet been fully equipped to handle love with care.

& it would break my heart to know I didn’t handle you with care.

The definition of love has the sweetest, most clear portrait of you next to it.


So take this as my vow to you,

that no matter how many snow storms we endure,

And no matter how deep the potholes are on our road through love,

I’ll always nurture you to be the highest version of yourself in all phases of our life together.

Skinny Dipping

I decided to take a dip in the pool, only to find out ALL these n***as are just like you. You see, It wasn’t about the shiny things  or the places you could take me, I just wanted you to date me, exclusively. When I ask why you don’t take me seriously, You get all reclusive and talk about how it used to be. Why is it that I’m begging you to show me some emotion, That’s something you’re not exposed to. But when I go out and do my own thing with other guys, You then realize, That you ain’t ready to lose me. Keep me just within arms reach, But far enough so I don’t get too attached. You rather go be with her, her, & her, as if the love between us can be matched. I’m so f*ckin tired of this merry-go-round you got me living in. The emotional roller coaster is too much to bear, So I rather just go sit in it. That pool with them other n**gas. Because at least with them, I ain’t gotta pretend, to be heartless, Or to let my soul spark shit, that’s never going nowhere.

These Underwear Have Meaning

— When was the last time I’ve cleaned out my closet? Not the one where my graphic tees and sweats lie. The one where my broken friendships haven’t been removed. And my unhealed family traumas haven’t been folded. I’m trying to make space for new connections, And I haven’t even decluttered the dresser to my ex’s mistreatment. Even a bit scared to open the bins to self awareness. Because then, I’ll actually have to face my misconduct. So I keep the door shut, And hope you’ll accept my mess.

I Hope This Finds You Well

Hey you, With your fine ass. You know I always compliment your skin, And how perfect you are, In the physical. But let me take this moment to show you some appreciation. When we first started out, I didn’t want more than an emotionally unavailable connection with you. But even you wouldn’t let it be just that. In a time where I was hurting, you gave me space. You even told me you recognize that I am going through my healing phase. Now, you could be just that damn toxic, but you’ve always handled me with care. Even when you confuse me with your actions. You see, it’s the little things you do for me that keep me invested. Like having a positive response to every defeat I have inside my own head. Showing me a new way to live and to be healthy. Pushing me to excerise and take care of my body. I was so mad at you for pushing me to my limit this one particular day, But I couldn’t even address it because I knew it was all for my improvement. Even when you don’t say anything, You build me up. ...
