I want to hold your wrinkled hand
when the world we no longer understand

i knew this girl she used to get on my nerves
but now shes a woman and my last names hers

shake myself awake trying to find an explanation
somewhere between pride and desperation

yeah i knew this girl she used to get on my nerves
she was always on my mind but wouldn’t ever tell me what was on hers

girl wassup
love wears pearls and chucks
well i guess now she wears vans
krylon on her hands
quoting Pearl S. Buck stanzas

the feelin i get when we kick it
when we kissin
i used to sing sad songs
til she came along and remixed it

life is love
heaven for me would be...
if when i died i relived it

cause when i die
i’ma tell god “send me back to her”
and i’ll come down with a smile
holding all the balloons you ever let go of as a child

wifey material
the prize in my cereal
crazy for your love
i’m coo coo for it
it’s so real so genuine
got you euphoric
thinkin back and reminiscin
every instant

your inspiration your motivation
your clear skies
i’ll be the sleeve that wipes
the tears from your eyes
the confidence you can smile again with
i’m your bullet proof vest
your staircase
your vengeance

you fill me with humility
the same color that saints blush in
you plant flowers in my head
the same color as Frida’s used paintbrushes

lookin deep into your brown eyes rebounded the sky

theres a million fish in the sea
but only a handful of angels
you make new new’s
look like same old same olds
i’m so
so thankful

yours always
hide Codes In A poem foR Always

your perseverance speaks to me
and i can understand it's like i’m bilingual
on the soundtrack to my life your the hit single

you’re the drinks they serve
in the bars i spit
watchin that one movie
where they say you only get
three women in your life
well if ones my momma
then it’s you
i want to have a daughter with

stay up late conversate with ya
the way you move your lil frame
like a shapeshifter

come 2 me comfort me
i whisper to your courage
be strong
i’m the supporting cast
i’m the paper
you write your acceptance speech on
feelin the proudest
tearin up in the audience
i’m cheerin the loudest

i’m the sun that follows you to work
the light that always hits you right
my life is just a de ja vu
cause i been dreamin of you
every night

workin grindin your worth the cryin
worth dyin for your perfect timin
your the moment i realize
everythings come full circle
since i met you
musics been number 2
you make an underground mc
go and do a mcdonalds commercial

you show me what i gotta be
you’re my pride and joy my honesty
whatever happens you’ll always be attached to my heart
and i add new lines to this joint everyday
the way you add happiness to my heart

you’re the apple of my eye
like hova ovalookin brooklyn
i wanted a friend like you since i was 5
and our apartment was overlookin brooklyn
and when you can’t see the road ahead
i got eyes for you to look in

my hand misses your hand
my eyes want you

lazy eye
since i
laid eyes on you
trust this
no poem could do you justice

because this poem is the only place
that theres an us in

i know someone will always love you so
a cold bed, a wet pillow
these are things you’ll never know

the expression on my face is overjoyed
the smile melting
in the ashes of a polaroid
