Tender Lover

For the first time,

The first time felt right

The only reason I stood nervous was because I could feel you absorbing my light,

Like you could see past my wrongs and rights and just focused on the truth in me,

Makes me happy I found strength to push past the scrutiny.

Felt like my world had ended but a new one started yesterday,

Wish I met you in September but I know I wouldn’t have been the same. It’s like,

Everything I’ve been thru has led me to your front door. I’ve battled lions tigers and bears trying to build my rapport,

With myself.

But your navy blue skies made my mighty armor disintegrate into the truth,

Sifting thru the rubbish I kept finding more of you.

Now I’m ten toes down like I've got my heels up,

Reclaiming the innocence in love

That you’ve given me a new feel for,

Like we’re built for this...

Your heartbeat completes mine in such a gentle fashion

I’ve never realized that love didn’t have to be sadness,

Or fear of misplacement

I don’t know what will happen tomorrow but I know today, you’re my baby.

I no longer feel like a kid pretending to drown to see who’s paying attention,

You got me swimming to the deep end with the purest intentions,

I might have floaties on

But I trust your instruction

My tender lover,

I can’t help but to love you with the thickest of substance.

See I don’t mind PDA now cause it feels like you’re a part of me,

I’ve had elements of me hidden for so long, I have no apologies left for how I’m about to be loving you.

No more hidden emotions.

Cause your certainty gives me courage

to be better,

To do better,

This love letter will never end -- I’m subscribed to you,

Congratulations you’re my new favorite newsletter.
