When I close my eyes I see you looking at me
With admiration, need, and love tucked away behind the shine in your gaze.
I see past the hurts and disappointments the world has given you.
I see past the misconceptions and malformed perceptions that have somehow fallen in your path.
Have you ever seen a black woman in black clothes with black gloves and black shades stand behind black curtains in a black room with black carpet�hold a ray of sunshine up to her face and kiss it? It�s beautiful.
She accepts her darkness, but welcomes the light.
I see that in you.
I see hopes and dreams that have been placed on the very top shelf and you�re trying to reach them.
You have to tiptoe to even get a glimpse, but you know you�ll grow tall enough one day.
I see you never take your eyes away from the top shelf.
I see a woman in you that loves and needs to be loved 100%�
I see your crystal clear soul reflecting an orange glow�
I see...me. In you. A viable part of you.
We.
I looked into you and saw US.
