The softest lips
With the sweetest tongue
Able to make someone believe everything that comes out of your mouth.
The sweetest kisses laced with the sweetest lies
Helps serve as a vehicle to get lost in
when our lips meet
And when I feel myself slipping away
I'll always break that seal
Because I'm never sure if those soft lips and sweet tongue will ever be true

Years had passed before we were reconnected again.
You grew, you loved, you loss then you grew some more.
The same for me as well.
From time to time, I would wonder where you were?
If I crossed your mind?
Or even if you were alive?
Then One day, out of nowhere, you came back.
I wasn't expecting you and was left at a loss for words.
Then it happened.
That strange feeling of familiarity that I used to get from you way back when
Was the same feeling I felt after we hung up.
Time had passed but you were still you.
I was so reluctant to let you in.
I lost my sense of self and my ability to open up during our time apart.
But you didn't mind.
You did what you do best,
Stay consistent.
You fed my mind and my soul.
You help me find someone that I forgot was there.
You'll never understand what you represent in my life.
I know that God sent you to save me.
This isn't about a romantic kind of love but a pure soul deep kind of love.
I see the light in you
You see the light in me
Namaste
We both acknowledge that we aren't perfect.
Judgement doesn't live here
And that's what make me cherish whatever this thing of ours is.

None of us are sent on this earth with a life handbook.
We learn as we go.
Some learn quicker than others
And others may have to repeat their lessons.
I'm one of those people.
Things along the way have happened and have had affects on me
Good and bad.
Some people don't realize that when you are young
You are supposed to make mistakes.
With family and friends
I've made many.
I have regrets that have consumed me to a state of paralysis
Getting out of this state is so hard
But I will.
I can only hope that everyone understands that I can't change the past
But only try to make a better future

While many may think
Its about long walks and date nights
I see it as finding the balance between being me and being US
Knowing when to hold back and when to unleash
Understanding that I may have to make a decision that will hurt me in order to do right by you.
Its the pain you feel when you are apart
The comprehension of each other's mental make up
To the point where few words speak volumes.
Its building from the ground up
But never forgetting who pushed you when you were down and out.
It's getting that one look and knowing all the answers.
This thing they call love
Has nothing to do with your material success
But everything to do with being mentally, emotionally, spiritually in tune With your partner.
Taking time to understand the differences and knowing that they only make it better
Not talking at each other but rather listening and discussing.
Nothing is perfect but with a love as such
I'm willing to explore

My soul stirs with a conviction that lets me know that God is real and his work is being done.
Everything that I have seen, smelled, tasted, touched and felt in my 30 years on this earth has led me to this.
Every tear that I've shed,
Every gut busting uncontrollable  laugh,
Every hopeless moment has brought me here.
I've been bruised and battered but I've always picked myself up
Because deep down inside I knew that there was something bigger and better.
I'm falling in love with myself and it's the most beautiful thing that I've ever  experienced.
I'm learning how to treat myself without being careless.
No man or woman can take this away From me.
I've fought this feeling for so long
Now I know it's time to accept
I am divine
I am strong
I am Queen.
