So I'm sitting here vibing to India Arie and Musiq Souchild's duet Chocolate High and that overwhelming feeling that reminds me what it felt like when I was in love invades my stillness.
My eyes water because the memories are so vivid that I can feel your embrace and the scent of the oils you sparsely rubbed on your body after a shower perk my senses as if you were beside me.
It actually feels like those cold winter mornings and hot summer nights that seemed to be just fine days because we were in each others company.
I recall watching the same movie numerous times because we never got through it before one of us turned and wanted to look the other in the eyes and listen to our hearts act as if they needed each other to echo their beat.
Then I see remnants of old baggage that prevented growth and found the cement and brick to build that wall that has been torn down time after time.
I wonder if love was when you told me that you would never make me cry and never leave me but did both.
Was it the time that I waited for you to answer the door after heartfelt conversations about what the future would hold but was left to knock until the realization that you wouldn't answer...and couldn't answer hit?
Was it last week when I heard the words " you drive me crazy because I'm liking you more than I want to"?
The song "I am ready for love"; once a theme song , has become a question of doubt...
"Am I Ready For Love?"

Answer of the Afternoon: Ready for love, if it's REAL.
Love your metaphors! Keep on writing..
Thank you Griotworks!! I agree...finding REAL love makes all the difference in the world!
Love the metaphors as well D. After reading this... I am left questioning myself.. Am I ready to lose my innocents by the abuse of real love? You should write a piece on that.. I will keep you inspired!

It couldn't have been said better. The mark of a true writer is having the ability to pull people from their present, and place them, for that moment, into the world that your words create. And you do it beautifully. I'm ready for that collab:-)
