Could It Be You? Poem by Aaliyah SantiagoJoseph

Could it be you?
Could you be one for me?
Could you be the one who can fulfill all my needs?
Could you be all that I’ve asked for and more?
Could you be God’s one true blessing?
What he had in store?
Could you be?
Could it be you?

It’s funny how we met and
It was unexpected
Took you a few days to call me
But when you did it didn’t take long to see
You could be the one for me
Maybe we were meant to be
I swear I saw you before I even met you
In my dreams, Cold Prophetic
Live and in living color
Wonder if another
Can make me feel the way you do?
Just hearing your voice
Soothes my very being
It may sound crazy
I’m feeling the title
So make me your lady
Never do you shady
Only love you
And treat you like a thoroughbred’s supposed to
Hold you and caress you
Hold you down
Rep for the crown
Stay true and loyal
So come’on papi
What you trying to do?

Loving each other won’t be easy
As long as we stay real, never greasy
We’ll be good
Love the hood in you
Love the way you rock them Timb boots
Got a big heart
Knew from the start
Your swagger-so sexy
When I look into your eyes-God help me
Might make me think some thangs
Do some thangs
Make ya wanna buy rocks and rings
Make me wifey
Place no one above me
Honor you
Be subservient
Never defiant
Cuz you deserve all that and more
Damn could you be?
Find myself thinking of you
At my job, at school
When I lie at night in bed
Fantasies run through my head
Wishing you were all mine
To the end of time
Not in love but I’m loving you
Wanna show and prove
We can make it do what it do
Maybe I can be on ya team
Help you get that cream
Have you callin’ me mami
You should make me one
Have 2 or 3 of ya youngin’s
Wonderin’ how deep this’ll get
But the reality is hittin’ me
Like a ton of bricks
You haven’t even met me
And you’re just a fantasy
So the question I ask myself is….
Could it be you?
