“Love is many things. It's varied. One thing it is not and can never be is unsure. Maya Angelou”

“My Father mapped out the perfect blueprint for how to treat a woman. He caters hand and foot to my Mother. Even showers that love onto my sister. He never had to tell me how to treat my woman because his actions spoke louder. Did I cling to my woman? Absolutely. Being up under soft melanin skin pleased me. You want to read a book? Cool, what story we reading? Wanna go shopping? Take my card if you promise to model everything for me. Those females at work bothering you? Let’s get animated in the mirror and act like we about to tag team. Your period on? Baby, want me to rub your belly? You need me to get those diaper looking pads with the wings? How about some lemon ginger tea? What are your dreams? You want to sell weave? Let’s catch a flight to China or India and figure out how we can become wholesalers. You wanna make cute Snapchat filter videos? What filter do you want? Are they not liking your pics? Fine. I’ll blast you all over my page. Your Mother threatening to kick you out. Where you wanna move? Better yet, move in with me. Just focus on school and building your brand. I got everything else. You got finals coming up. Pick a tutor. Heck, can I pay for the answers to the quiz? You think those stretch marks make you unattractive? Come here and let me show you how much I appreciate your stripes of glitter. Do you want to go to Dr. Miami? Absolutely not. We going to the gym. Gym grown not silicone. We are working out together. Go ahead and hashtag us as #baegoals #coupleswhoworkouttogetherstaytogether. You want to switch the hair and get a tapered cut? Let me call my barber and see when we can go. Stressing and worrying? You keep hearing whispers while you’re sleeping? Nah bae, that’s not a ghost. That’s me praying for you.”

“Pursuing a future with you is what I desire now. The reality of it haunts me, Krishna. Tomorrow, well later on today, my world will call. Sucking me back into her sponges of sin. Already I thought of how I can walk away from it all and live a life of peace with you. So many people depend on me and you have so much to accomplish, but I promise when the time comes, I’ll only be selfish with you.” Nothing else needed to be said. The message was received loud and clear. I felt content with his words and would cherish them. Hold myself to them.”

“Dancing with you, making love to you, and holding you is the closest I’ll ever get to being under your skin. I can’t stop wanting to submerge myself deep within you and never come up for air. I wanna love you in every way I can, Noe. You never have to question where you stand in my life because you stand right in the center of my world. I’m so in love with you. Always remember that.” A”

“The passion I seek comes from being equally yoked. She and I experiencing Eros and sensuality in its raw form that it never dwindles with the robbery of time. It’s flavor soaking in God’s promises, making it impossible to be bland.”

“sorry, Amell, but I have to clean your back so we can cover your cuts. I promise to move fast.” Atlas ran back in with the medical kit and cold jar of aloe ointment we kept in the refrigerator. This wasn’t my first time on the receiving end of that belt. Last time dad caught me in the shower but at least then he hadn’t been able to hold me down. “Grab my hands, Amell.” Atlas sat in front of me. It hurt to stretch out to him but I held on. “I've been to lots of places, I've seen a lot of faces, there's been times I felt so all alone.” Atlas sang, his tiny little hands wiping my eyes. “Sing with me, Amell. Please. But in my lonely hours, yes, those precious lonely hours, Jesus lets me know that I was His own. Sing, Amell. It will make you feel better.” He kept pleading. At five years old he had to grow up too fast. He saw too much. Finding my voice in the pain I sang with him. “Through it all, through it all, I’ve learned to trust in Jesus, I’ve learned to trust in God.”

“Do you know how extreme that is to say? I’m captivated by everything Dove is. All it took was one look and everything changed. I know she loves me. Her love sings for me so loud that it competes with the screams I hear in my dreams,”
