Let me start by saying-
I love you.
As I begin to suck you into my worldly oxygen...
You help me breath better.

I see brighter days behind your medium dark brown eyes...
And I'm caught in the haze of you.
Gazing like floating memories on how I made you mine.

As we define eachother...
The greatest love of all.
Of all the many boys I thought I loved...
I love you as my man,
Friend,
lover,
future husband,
the most.

And I boast proudly of being made from your rib.
We match like lit fires.
I watch my day dreams turn into the here and now.
And somehow...
I wrapped you up in poetry and called you mine.

As you pull up chair to table to dine in my mind,
As my exibit.
I named you Ebony's David.
