Piece of My Heart...

have you ever had someone to steal your heart?
I have, but this person refuses to give it back.....
he says that he's going to keep it forever if it's still lives inside of me....

his spirit is warm and sweet like a cinnamon roll fresh from the bakery
presenting himself in such a humble and majestic way that it's hard for me to turn from it
a beautiful example of a real man, I bask in the essence of his Southern gentleman ways

there is nothing like having a true friend,
someone who offers an ear to hear, a voice to speak the truth, and a shoulder to cry on
promise you, I'll never trade this in for nothing material in this world filled with phoniness
he's the perfect mixture of everything possible for me...
let me tell you more about him...

he is stylish and distinguished;
the kind of man that comes in a room commanding attention
he is intelligent;
you'll want to lend an ear to hear the wisdom and knowledge he speaks
he is God-fearing;
a spiritual being who loves to admire and speak on his greater power, God
standing not too far from six feet,
he reminds me of an African angel with love and happiness flowing from each loc
I'm not even going to lie...he's one of a kind
a real man that addresses me in such a way that I'm always blown away
non-disrespectful, he gives me his best because he understands that I deserve it
he guides me like a father would do his daughter,
he molds me like a husband would do his wife,
he critizes me like a brother would do his sister,
but in the end it's all love...the type of love that I'm deserving of
again, this person is the epitomy of a friend,
a friend who will always have a Piece of My Heart....

Diamond (Best Friend)

cut precisely to fit my life that was filled with turmoil, drama, and heartache
he came at a time when I was thirsty for what was in the love well that had run dry

closure was what I was wanting the most,
but selfishly I couldn't get my heart completely clean from the past because I was still holding on
filled with so much anger and dispair, I vowed not to love again; not even the love sent to love me

not going to lie, I wanted him for myself
however, he belonged to someone else
respecting his request, I still allowed him to come into this tornado I called life
presenting me with kind gifts of gentle behavior, gentleman gestures, and a pure heart,
I couldn't let him be without seeing what he had in store for me
instead of bringing me game, offering sex, or pretending to care...he brought the realest love of a friend
drying the tears that would fall from my eyes
giving me constant conversation that would edify my soul and tickle my funny bones
couldn't see anything wrong with what he was doing then and what he continues to do now,

I'm blessed to have such a friend like him
wouldn't trade him in for anything
getting to know him is the beautiful essence of this friendship
an adventure that continues bring excitement and interesting events

noticing the change in me,
I'm realizing God more in me because I acknowledged the God living in him,

they tell me that diamonds are a girl's best friend,
well...I'm hear to tell you that the saying is true
didn't think I would have been able to meet a Southern gentleman for this Southern Belle,
but God saw favor in order to send such a man like you

grateful for the friendship made in the essence of harmony and joy,
believing in this love between this girl and that boy.....
