All my life
I've spent time carrying the burdens of those regardless of whether they love or hurt me eventually ..
And then ..."You" came along
You told me
"Ima go out on a limb here n assume you've been writing most if not all of tonite"
And I sunk into the " oh my ... God ' expression
It's been two conversations ...
And he paid so much attention
He not only inscribed my passion on his passion for a similar art we shared
But he knew when ..and how long I've been writing
As though intuition told him to hold me with sincerity !
He said "because of u I'll be able to see the last sunrise of 2012"
And I smiled . Trying to doubt the honesty .
Not wanting to believe that ... ...I .... Reminded him .. Of perfection ...
He inspired me to write about something
I've never paid attention to as a poet
He inspired me to write about the first symbol of our engagement !
And I left him ... Only for a brief moment
To write poetry ...
A poem he inspired ... Inspired me to see myself in the clouds of his arms ...
To see the dawn of something unknown .. In the pink hues of love ! ....
He inspired me .. To feel free
Vulnerable in a place where the sunrise of his words accepted me ....
And at the end of it all just when I broke my own hopes . Expecting him to fall asleep
I messaged : " what u doin "
He said " Layin face to the ceiling....waiting...for that moment..6.32am.....when you're pencil...stopped ...."
Shock immediately strolled down my cheeks
I uttered again ... "You.... Waited for me ?
I saw the clouds wait for the sun this morning , leaves waited for branches , roots kissed the soil good morning and waited patiently for her to roll over and say iv missed you .. I saw the moon wait for the last star ..."
Are you sure you waited for me ...
He said : "Yes...you waited for the sunrise...and I waited 4 you"
I adored every vein of each leaf that hung on the moment I awaited for years
But It hurt just as much
For it made me wonder ... Did it take someone so long .. To actually realize my worth ....
