| I used to think I would never have love like I once knew... |
| A love that is sincere, passionate and true, |
| From a strong, sexy man of color very much like you. |
| In your lifetime you have endured it all... |
| You learned to crawl, to run, and then fall, |
| You got up, brushed yourself off and knocked down a brick wall. |
| I love you for your strength and your will to survive... |
| I love you because you make my heart come alive, |
| Let's face it, you make my nature rise. |
| Who knew you could still have an affect on me? |
| Who knew our love had grown tall as a tree? |
| A tree in the forest where no one could see, not even me. |
| It wasn't until you convinced me to take a walk with you... |
| You wanted to show me how large the tree grew, |
| You showed me thick roots that represented rough times we've been through. |
| Now here we are again my old, but new friend... |
| So much time has passed between us, but to no end, |
| I have my heart that I am willing to lend. |
| Only to you if you promise to take the best care of it... |
| For the record, my heart has been kicked, stomped, and hit, |
| But in your hands my mended heart can fit. |
| If you can provide tender loving care... |
| If you're willing to give your whole heart to share, |
| I promise to take good care, so please don't fear. |
| Our tree of love can continue to grow... |
| Only if we're both willing to prove and show, |
| The wisdom and compassion we both have learned to know. |
| If we give each other mutual trust, respect, and love... |
| I feel this reunion could be blessed by the divine powers above, |
| I am yours now and forever, my one true love. |
