is this it?

I glanced up from my busy schedule
to see beauty personified,
to see the sparkle in her eyes...
...when she laughs
or boasts simple yet beautiful smiles
that has my heart making random beats
as my eyes retreat
desperately trying not to stare
but it wasnt cuz it was bad manners
it was nothing more than fear
I was introduced to her
and as we shook hands
it was like the storm passed
and sun rays hit the beach sands...
...for the first time
but I played it cool
afraid to act the fool
like my heart demanded

For years she disappeared
my heart forgot about her
or so I thought
eyes locked yet again and I was caught
those jitters came rushing back
thank God I'm black
cuz you'd see the red in my cheeks
stealing glances as interest peaks
we started spending more and more time together
soon after, all I thought about was you
a dream come thru
well,it hasn't
...not yet anyway
I dont know when or what'll become of us
but we'll see where this goes
I know I love you
and I dont care who knows

Me....

I'm not perfect, the world knows that. I'm jealous, I'm a flirt, I'm spiteful, easily annoyed, sometimes lazy, easily hurt, misunderstand things cuz I pay so much attention to detail, miserable etc. All of which, are due to me being passionate about whatever it is I do. In addition to my idea of love. If I love you, I love you wholeheartedly, with every ounce of my being.

I'm perfectly fine with u being involved in all aspects of my life because u are my life. It is for this very reason that I don't stop loving whoever I verbally and non-verbally confess to loving. Nothing will ever be too good for you. In my mind, you're always gonna deserve better and I'm gonna try to give you just that on a daily basis.

So please be patient with me. Speak and i'll listen. My heart is in your care, don't mistreat it. I beg u, overlook my many faults and grant me the opportunity to be the one who makes u happy cuz I kno I can.

...

My ears listen to your every word
Eyes always keen to observe
Parted lips eager to be kissed
Skin begging to be caressed
My heart ticking like a clock...
...impatiently...
Waiting,
Yearning,
Hoping,
Listening
Needing those words...
...of acceptance,
Fulfillment,
Love

Why?
I've asked this question
so many times
Usually the answer's the same
But you don't think you're worth it
To which I ask, if you're not, who the hell is?
