Something Special

I remember..

I was at the football game,
Shoulda been following score by score
But you know us boyz,
Instead of jumping up in down when our team scored a touchdown
We gave high fives when we agreed on who was the finest cheerleader

Looking down the line I notice all the old girls im used 2 seeing
And then I see you..

Caremel skin,french braids with designs,the cutest smile.
Also I remember you most because of the funny way ur ears curled a little more than normal..

But none the less very cute..

I stare for a moment because I've never seen you before
"She's probably just a lil freshman"..

And of course you were...

I remember getting on my bus after school and seeing u there..
Looking all goofy & smiling with ur easy going brown eyes.
I knew who you knew,talked to who you talk to, But we've never spoken...?

We sat together and chatted until my stop.

With no clue of how important ud become to me, we continued to get to know each other little by little..

Next thing u know im the 1st boy to be welcome in ur home that's NOT related to anyone there.
Your mom was strick but she liked me from day 1.

We become the best of friends..
Talking about any and everything.
Able to be myself around you 100%
You never judged me
You never negativley critqued me
You only stood by me through watever I was going through.

Throughout relationships between our girlfriends & boyfriends we never worried because we both knew that it didn't matter who was "current" in our lives because neither one of us would leave..

You've watched me grow from a backpack carrying,afro wit the pick stuck in it,jersey wearing little BOY
Into wat I must say a decent young MAN..

Un the flipside I must admit,you've blossomed into a more beautifu WOMAN than I really expected..
I tried to protect you by giving you all the knowledge I had but some things u have 2 learn on ur own..
Guys took advantage of you
And used ur kindness for weakness..

But I always thought they were absolutley INSANE to not be able to see the incredible person you are..
U'd give before you receive and help before your even spoken to..

Sometimes I do wonder..
& also I wonder do you (still)
But only time will tell.
Anyone who gets you will be one of the luckier guys
And no matter who it is,
I'll always be there when u need me

More than just a friend,
Ur like my other half..

I love you..
