the Truth

(not to be confused with the TRUTH stored in a hideaway drawer)

Let me tell you why I love him

cause he is the truth
said he is so real
and I love the way that he makes me feel
and if I am a reflection of him
then I must be fly
because his light it shines so bright I wouldn’t lie

I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him

 its not hard for me to understand him cause hes so much like me
and its truly my pleasure to share his company
and I know that its God’s gift to breathe the air he breathes

I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks

I love him in every way that a woman can love a man
from personal to universal but most of all its unconditional
that’s the way I feel

there ain’t no substitute for the truth
either it is or it isn’t

and you know the truth by the way it feels
