B.A.B.E. (Blind Affection Boldly Exposed)

"You're the best thing I never knew I needed..."

A voice without a name or face, yet sweet as a ripe, juicy strawberry it was. One of those voices that made me freeze solid in my seat. Never to be heard for another 365 by purely accident. The notes and melodies interwoven into perfection like the warmest blanket on the coldest winter December night. With now finding a name and handsome face to accompany that heavenly voice, one song lead to one album lead to your entire content arsenal. 

"There's a quiet storm and it never felt like this before. There's a quiet storm that is you...."

The longer your songs stayed on repeat, the greater desire I had to know the man behind the music. I had to dissect this person that just came and popped my entire nostalgic lyrical bubble I was living in comfortably. How dare this random come challenge my musical fortress this way?  Who would've guessed this golden piped brother had a heart worth more than 24 karat gold, a vocabulary like Webster to stimulate this ever wandering mind, a soul as old as our grandparents encased in a body so defined it could cut the sharpest of diamonds, caramel skin kissed repeatedly by the sun , big doe eyes with a wrinkle and a twinkle, and a boyish charming smile that could steal any woman's heart with ease?? 

"Your love is king, crown you in my heart. Your love is king, you're the ruler of my heart...."

As time ages, my feelings grow stronger and deeper. No longer were you seen by me as a talented , moderately cute singer. Instead, you transformed into a beautiful black king who shines brighter than the August sun in the desert on its hottest day, your power unstoppable and your impact incomparable. Your very being engulfed me like a flood, a flood I don't want to be saved from. 

"You're the rock to my roll, you're my blues, my soul collection. Put the record on hold. Damn, you're perfection..."

My days now feel incomplete if I don't feel your presence in some way. Whether it be once or plenty, you were my musical ray of sunshine. I could push you so far away , yet still want you near. You and I were like puzzle pieces who fit perfectly with ease. Many a days, I dreamt of beginning life's remaining journey with you because I can't imagine one without you.

"I hope that you're the one....if not, then you are the prototype....."

I hope more than anything , I can show and tell all of this to you with ease and that you will be enamored as much as I. That our eyes will meet and sparks will fly. That you embracing me in your chest will let me know that I have finally made it home where I belong.  That our kiss will electrify as bright as the street of Times Square when the New Years ball drops. That we'll one day leave behind a phenomenal legacy for our prince or princess to hold the torch and soldier on. However, even if romance together does not exist in the cards, our soul connection will forever remain. Genuine vibes and energy can be transferred to many outlets, but it will never truly die.

"God must be a genius , or me and you wouldn't be here...."
