Where Have You Been?

“Long time no see.” “It’s been a while friend!”

“Hey you! It’s a lot let me tell you how it’s been.”

I met this person so mesmerizing I been dizzy ever since. Time flies but somehow we didn’t age, we’re teenagers in a world of possibilities again. I’m so in love it makes me not give a fuck. Middle fingers up to a judge and the jury, I’m guilty. I did it, I found the person I needed, I found the person I crave. We didn’t bump into each other at the grocery store or fight for a bartenders attention at a club. This love was planned and we scheduled a meet up. I never took any chances with this connection, it wasn’t slipping away due to dumb ass mistakes. Up until the date we spoke every day, falling deeper in a realm of something greater than great. My belly ached with excitement and butterflies for days. I was made for this, I prayed for this, I moved across the states for this! When the day came I made sure I was ready, hair, nails, and fit dripped to the tee. No makeup just jewelry, necklaces and waist beads. It’s funny because some of the details slip my mind. I don’t remember where we were or what time it came to be, but I remember the tear rolling down as I looked at my reflection…so happy to have finally met the real me.

Where have I been?…Finding myself.

Love, Nita
