I am forever sitting and thinking about you
Whoever you may be
But you haven’t felt the need to present yourself to me
I am already mystified by you
And the exchange of our minds is long overdue
I know our interactions will be like déjà vu
Because you were already designed just for me
That’s a deep notion
To think that we were chosen to be
I from your rib
Because of the unconditional love you will provide me
Your kind words will delicately put my heart back together piece by piece
As my faith in your ability to love me will increase
All my pent-up love I will be able to release
Because I’m no longer dealing with disturbances of my peace
You are my peace and I yours
Because that type of love cures
Allow my words to dance across your cerebral
And manifest in your heart
I will be your beginning and you’ll be my end
We won’t be able to be told apart
Like Yin and Yang, we are balanced
Our need to run for fear of being hurt will be silenced
Because there’s no hidden agenda filled with malice
Dysfunction will not be demonstrated here
Love will live here
Peace will live here
Understanding will live here
Growth will live here
Communication will live here
Because of the absence of fear
Future love, understand that not all the time will we see eye to eye
But I promise not to crucify you for your mistakes
As long as you man up when it comes time to tell the truth
Because you shouldn’t be willing to put our love at stake
You see, our union is one of give and take
Therefore, we might bend, but we’ll never break
Don’t lose hope in me if at times I attack you for how you made me feel
It’s the aftershocks of what I had to deal with
But the love will never waiver because the love placed in my heart by God is real
Future love, please don’t entertain these hoes
I’m really not trying to come to blows
Or like Luda said, “Throw them bows!”
Cause I will without hesitation
I will go from your best friend to your greatest foe
I’ll be riding through the 6 with my woes
And well Drake already told you, you know how that shit goes
Starve them and feed me
And I’ll be more than you ever thought a woman could be
I’ll be your superwoman, your wonder woman, and your cat woman combined
But you have to feed my light and let it shine
You lead me and I’ll be your spine
The connection between man and woman so divine
As we carry out our lives’ purposes together
Our growth will be immeasurable giving us the ability to withstand any inclement weather
So, when you close your eyes, I hope you have visions of me
Because although I’m working on me and I have my eyes on the prize
It’s you that I see
Your face, once I see it, will forever be imbedded in my memory
So, when you are far from me, I can close my eyes and let the reality of you play out
My own personal documentary
Until then I will dream dreams, I patiently wait to come true
My future love
I love you
