One day Death came knocking on my door
But I was not ready for death

Please go knock on someone else’s door I yelled

As I struggled to take another breath

It was then that I had made up my mind,
fight like hell

Because I was not ready to leave everything behind

As I eventually pulled myself from the smoky car

Strangers quickly became caretakers that caught my fall

And I was not afraid anymore

Because Death had simply checked in on me then moved along

Gazing at me from across the room
You are my fantasy
You are my sin

Sending a drink over my way
You break the ice
I happily accept

Moving toward me slowly
You catch my attention
And hypnotize me

We let our minds run wild
All I can do is smile
And then look away

You longingly shake my hand
A sly smile on your lips
My stomach flips again

You order another round of drinks
My heart is beating so fast
I’m trying to listen

Want to help fulfill all of my dreams
Do what you want with me
My dearest husband

Overcome by a feeling of bliss
As you deliver a passionate kiss

Your lips brush against my ear
I can’t resist your touch
You make everything else disappear
Oh, I want you so much

Your tongue on my neck
My hand on your heart
You put my brain on disconnect
I slowly spread my legs apart

I shift my weight on top of you
I straddle your thighs
Then I draw you inside of me
And look deeply into your eyes

You are my heaven on earth
And I am your deep blue sky
I hope that we’ll be together forever,
until the day that we die

As I sit here amongst the trees
Thinking of you and all the happy memories

You are not gone, you are not dead
You will always live on inside my head

So many little adventures to the city and the beach
So many life lessons that you would patiently teach

You inspired my great love of music and dance
You would always say to me, just give it a chance

Practicing free throws and soccer kicks for hours at a time
Always inspiring me to never give up and helping me shine

Holding my hair back the first time I drank too much
Giving advice that I not use alcohol as a crutch

Around you, I did not feel like such a shy introvert
Always making me laugh so I did not hurt

You are the person who made me who I am today
I hope you knew it, and in this I pray

Honestly, I loved you from the moment that we met

You were everything that I had been wanting but I just didn’t know it yet

Shared vague ideas about your store and I  initially wondered if it could be a success

Made very good use of my business card and boy, did you make me laugh

After listening to all of your messages, I realized you were on the right track

It was the perfect partnership in the making and I cut you some more slack

You have the aesthetic vision and I have the good management sense

We really compliment each other and my feelings are growing intense

I’ve never quite met anyone like you before

Let’s celebrate your birthday together and begin to explore

What’s possible when we spend more time together outside the store

Wait . . .

Did you know way back then after our very first kiss

That we would find in each other everything that we had wished

And that I’d be here in front of the love of my life today getting down on one knee

Or that you would be crying and saying yes, that you want to marry me

I’m a shy yet outgoing introvert.  
When it comes to getting attention, I will divert

I love to give love and try not to hurt
I sometimes feel **** and will attempt to flirt

When you talk religion and spirituality,
please keep all of those labels away from me

Because I will whisper into the wind and through the trees
as God’s omnipresence is surrounding me

Being in nature invigorates and inspires me
Viewing wildlife and feeling the cool country breeze

The happy return of the flowers and the bees
Love new beginnings and feeling free

Adventure and travel runs through my veins
By land, sky, and sea, I love all terrains

Trying new things and experimenting keeps me sane
Listening to all genres of music feeds my brain

Bronx born and Detroit raised, I thrive on diversity
Learning about culture, the arts, and our history
are my life’s passions and bring inner harmony
Oh well, that is enough about me . . .

Come as you are
You are my bright, shining star
Am I really up to par?
Do you want to take this far?

He’s as cute as a button
Always dresses in blue cotton
Love how he is funny and sarcastic
Gets a kick out of my being dramatic
Voice like an angel, body like the devil
You really get me.  Want to take it to the next level?

He calms my panic
Makes my heart feel gigantic
He points me left or right
when I lose direction
He is my dreamy knight
and always showers me with affection

Sweet puppy dog eyes
An adorably perfect smile
You can easily melt me and hypnotize
While  sipping your chamomile
It was kind of love at first sight
Didn’t really know what was wrong and how to feel right
Until I met you and now I finally know what to do
You are my absolute dream come true

You are my best friend and lover
You make me feel like no other
You are certainly nobody’s pushover
That conflict with Ronnie should blow over
The truth is that you mean the world to me
You are the showman and the Cabaret’s Emcee
And for your next role as future husband to me
Oh how very happy we will be!
