Wow…Summer 2016 was magical. This is because we were new. Our relationship was new, and as DeLonte courted me, I fell more and more in love with him AND the man I saw him destined to be. I remember wanting to be near him every day. I wanted to know his scent down to the t. I wanted to know what he was thinking, why he was thinking it, and what made him not want to think any more.
Yes, it sounds silly. I know. And I also know that love can feel like a drug. It can make you want to catch the first high you had when you first met that person. That’s what I always want with him. I search fro that daily and I know he does the same. Before we officially became a couple, I remember the days we would stay on the phone until 3 a.m. I remember talking about music, questioning his knowledge about artists, and us sharing both masterpieces of pain and laughter.
I had found what India Arie talked about in “I am Ready for love”. I fell in love with a man who loves music. This Brotha love him some art. I am so thankful he respects the spirit world and surely thinks with his heart. At times, I wish I had the power he possesses with words that could move mountains or even shift shadows to form light. He has a gift. And then I remember I am a reflection of him. We create.
Love.
