Mi Amor Poem by Juanita Richardson

it seems like no matter what i do
all i can think about is you
you say nice guy's finish last
i say a nice guy is someone i never had
honestly i know what you mean
its as if my entire life has been about givin
and just when i think it should be all about me
i finally meet the man of my dreams
how could this be?
feelings so deep
when i barely even know you
and you don't know me

Honest to God I don't like to be alone
but i made that decision because my house was not a home
i spent many nights crying and wondering why
what did i do wrong?
what didn't i try?
truth be told i may never know
but i gave it my all
and it was time to let it go

As time went by i continued to believe
that if i just had faith one day i would see
that since it didn't break me
it could only make me stronger
and since patience is a virtue
i will have to wait a little longer

i am proud of the woman i have grown to be
though i have been hurt by someone i loved
i am willin to allow another to get to know me
but i want you to know i have no alteriar motives
its just something about you i can't help but notice
that comfort i feel seems unreal
and my feelings for you i cannot conceal
i want to take it slow
but i had to let you know
i want to be right by your side
know matter where you go
