4 years and counting... We've been friends for 4 years and counting. Why did it take us so long to reach this point in our relationship? Well, for 3 years she was playing hard to get. Everyone knew I had a crush on Tamika, except Tamika lol!

Our connection blossomed immediately; maybe not the revelations, but definitely the connection. After 3 years we began to realize that our hopes, concerns and even prayers were mirrored by each others' voice. We agreed to stand in as support for one another until God delivered on His promise to fulfill our hearts' desires. Tamika sent me a text when I was experiencing a low-tide... It read, "Here I go with the pep talk... Hang in there, I believe that God has heard our cry. Who but people like us could He use to show everyone how great He is!"... At the time, we had no idea how true that statement was. I'm so glad she was so unknowingly specific! =)

As the turn of the 4th year began, our initial "stand in" support system evolved into a "welcome in" heart revival. Last year, I went above and beyond to get her a very specific birthday card and she gave me her number lol! (Still, I never regret any effort I put forth to show how important she is to my day). Our love grew and destiny began to reveal itself... I couldn't help but to make sure her birthday was memorable... She said, Yes! Well, her exact quote was, "Oh wow! Really?!! Yes, of course... Yes!", but there's no need for me to brag.

Her footsteps matches the pulse of a watcher Since his heartbeat goes in sinc with the pace of her feet when he watches her She has more rhythm than a kettle drum in a religious ritual Observing her walk; so full of power and confidence Such an experience to witness this beautiful essence that it's almost spiritual That's only part of the truth You can hear the noise silence itself Just enough to realize she's there ...She's walking by you ...Catch her ...Or at least a glimpse if your can Observe the rock and wave As she swings and sways Her right arm is the conductor Orchestrating the symphony her hips play Feel a ripple effect in your own body for each one of her steps Commanding even your atmosphere And whatever consciousness is left The shimmy and shake of her thighs leaves you mesmerized Beyond your imagination Couldn't blink And it's too late to turn away, so you're suddenly hipnotized Her footsteps matches the pulse of the watcher Simply walking with her brought them closer Closer means he knows more about her Is that his heartbeat or the beat of her feet that's getting stronger? He's intrigued by even this woman's aroma Her ambiance has him captivated in an alternate world So, of course, he wants the moment to linger a little longer So he draws attention to his shoulders He has one innocent request And he hope she notices That his collar is turned up He simply wants her to fix it She's to blame The first time, honestly, had no intentions But she noticed Yes, she initiated it They have more inside jokes than they can count But this is the only one of contact So they scramble like actors rehearsing a script Now it's twice as funny everytime it plays out Their good to each other Support for and from one another Sharing smiles, laughs, and even pains of the past On a journey to a better living Prayers for each others' healing It's the progress and growth that's most worth mentioning The two sharing intimate revelations As if contributing to a book of private letters Encouraging...walking in rhythm to endure the weather Each step...making music together Her footsteps matches the pulse of a watcher Since his heartbeat goes in sinc with the pace of her feet when he watches her He likes to watch her... She likes it when he watches her...
