HIM

HIM

Reach him, I just want to reach him

then maybe love, I could teach him

but If only I could reach him

I just wanna love him

Put no one but God above him

Imagining the oil as I paint portraits of I....with him

although I stray, hoping eventually someday....It'll be me with him

He just doesn't understand

But only if he were my man

Perhaps then he'd understand

that for him I'd do all I can

Visions of gazing into the ocean while we stand together on dry land

Intertwining fingers as we sculpt our names together in the sand

But.....he's not my man

Regardless, for him I would still do all I can

You see, unfortunately yet fortunately I love that man

And I believe that one day again , I'll be his woman and he'll be my man.

I may be living in a fantasy world, lets just say its something I feel in my bones

The love I have for him is indescribable....lets just call it a Love Jones

In my heart it's right yet in my mind sometimes... it's wrong

Ironically he is inspiration for all my melodramatic love songs

I cant stop doing all I can because I love him unconditionally

If only he knew how many tears I shed praying he'd view the situation differently

Just by persuading him to see the beauty of what I could see

Impatiently yet patiently awaiting the opportunity

to be his rib, backbone...holding him up to where he needs to be...

Question is...will the opportunity ever come

Lord knows, I try my best to be done

I keep getting drawn in by thoughts of how blissfully this could be done

Other times, I will admit, I feel vaguely compelled to run

The thoughts hold me captive of me being his moon and him being my sun.

Still holding onto the moment I looked into his eyes when we first came to know

In the eloquent words of a songwriter...... “You had me at hello”......

Cant help but to feel that together, better we would grow

My heart screams that abundance we would reap, and prosperity we would sew....

If only he knew what I know
