All I Want

I don't want much... 

Just the little things. 

If I come home from work and say,

"Honey I've had a really hard day."

All I want you to say is, "Baby let me rub your feet."

If I see a spider, which you know I'm afraid of, all I want you to say is"Honey don't worry, I got this."

If I wake up in the middle of the night from having a bad dream,

all I want you to do is hold me close and say "Baby it's gonna be alright."

And if I say I love you till the end of time all I want to hear you say is...

"Me too."

Peace

The wind passes through me and over me. This is where I find peace. This is where I find solace. Wrapped up in a blanket of God's own creation. The universe becomes an extension of my mind. My heart is open to all the possibilities. There's nothing that stands between me and my future except myself. I Am a wonder of creation. I Am able to be all that I need to be. I Am that which God has wonderfully, fearfully, and beautifully made. I am a black woman.

Closure

Sitting outside in the open sky...it's dark. I can see the stars and the moon. I wanted closure, but closure is a fallacy. I don't need to see you to say goodbye. I don't need false explanations. I need you to say what you think I want to hear. I don't need you to try and explain, to make things easier. Here under the sky, under the moon and stars alone, my heart has already said goodbye. That's my closure.
