I was always intrigued by Brooklyn… his hood swag, the way he articulates his words, his inquisitive nature. I was waiting and waiting for him to see me. Screaming for his attention. Leaping at every opportunity to utter the sweetest hello that had ever brushed his ear.
And now [[POW!]]here we are, lost in the intricacies of possibility and found in the simplest kind gesture.He makes me laugh without trying.He does his best to protect me when I walk home from late nights of studying.He wants to know what makes me happy, and the things that make me sad. I am captivated by the idea of who we can grow to be together. And all I want every milli-second of the day is to know that I am in his good graces…
Lol. Ok ya’ll… let’s be real. I’m probably in the honeymoon phase. Ya’ll know.That part of the relationship when you just want to know everything about the person, the good, the bad and the ugly? Annnd you like him so much that all the bad and ugly things are somehow spun into things that “give him character” or “made him who he is today”lol?
I could sit here and play like love isn’t blind and I’m walking into this thing with all of my defenses up and ready to slowly be broken down, but who am I fooling? Lol. I’m driving full speed ahead towards Brooklyn. My foot is steady on the pedal, hands way up in the air, knowing that I may run right off a cliff.
But that’s the fun of it right? Taking the chance.Being bold.Seizing the day.Who knows whether Brooklyn will end up just like Harlem[[grrr! I get angry just thinkin about it!]]? But, more importantly, who knows that Brooklyn won’t be just the opposite?
*Sigh* I guess I’d better get back to my Contracts assignment… just had to get that off my chest.
