J'ai ecrit

When i listened to that wonderful song last night, i wrote this:
This song
Be real black for me
Even in this moment when I have to squint to write these words
Makes me feel
Good
I remember the first time I heard it
It was with you
I had never heard it before
It just sounds so good
And it feels so good
To be in this place I’m in right now of fullness and love and light that can’t be taken away
It belongs to me
The love and the light
They live in me
Manifesting themselves as the breath I breathe
The smiles I give the space of my teeth through which to shine

Hold me hold me hold me

I’m smiling just to remember the memory of hearing the song the first time
To be held in the presence of a voice and love so undeserved by me
He loved me first
Reliving that time of unrealized goodness is
Real good for me

. . . . . . . . . .
here are the lyrics--i always like seeing the words
regardez-vous (take a look)
Our time is short and precious
Your lips warm and luscious
You don’t have to wear false charms
Cause when I wrap you in my hungry arms
Be real black for me
Be real black for me

Your hair is soft and crinkly
Your body’s strong and stately
You don’t have to search and roam
Cause I got your love at home
Be real black for me
Be real black for me

In my head I’m only half together
If I lose you I’ll be ruined forever
Darling, take my hand and hold me
Hold me hold me, Hold me hold me

You know how much I need you
To have you, really feel you
You don’t have to change a thing
No one knows the love you bring
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
