::SIGH:: I've finally put my fears aside and decided to post this poem which is for a special friend that I'm missin' right about now. I wrote this back in 2001 the year after he moved away.
Next Time
I can no longer hide my true feelings that I have for you
Just writing them out is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do
Though it took a while before we became the best of buddies
From the jump I wanted nothin' more than to be your one and only
I look back at all the things in common that you and I have shared
And how in both good times and bad you showed that you more than cared
But at the time I was too confused as well as scared to see it
Which had a lot to do with your 2 chicks since I ain't down with player shit
Though when it came to me you had nothin' but love and respect
Which meant if anyone came at me wrong you were quick to tell them to step
Then I think about how we talked about past relationships and the such
Damn I never thought in only a few years I could miss my nigga so much
It hurt when you told me that your job was moving somewhere else
I painfully put my heart up on the very top shelf
You see I didn't wanna chance giving it up quickly to another
Since I had unknowingly gave it to a friend who was also the perfect brotha
That's why every night I say a silent prayer that you'll come back this way
And when you do, I'll let my heart speak since it knows just what to say
Then I crawl into bed as Mary's CD sends me on a journey with you
I take that back...waking from dreams of us is the hardest thing I've ever had to do
