Special Poem by Tameeka Smith

Past hurts made me put up a guard
That no man could penetrate
I didn't want to make the mistake
Of allowing someone to get close
And thus I would experience heartbreak
I refuse for that to be my fate
I've had guys who came along
Showing interest but there was something
That was always off about them
Either they would express how
They liked me physically
Never even mentioning my boys
Or some would ask making them seem odd
However their lack of belief in God
Made them all even a wash
Something about you is different
You and I have an understanding
You have me thinking positively
Forgetting about vulnerability
I now see possibilities
Looking forward to brighter days
Knowing that everything will be okay
If I had one wish it would be
For you to be able to see
My feelings something incredible
Is happening
You mean so much to me
I care about you truly
Feeling free to express myself freely
My choice of music, movies, thoughts
What a blessing
You make me feel complete
And you never judge me
Or look at me differently
I don't know where
This will go
I just want you to know
My feelings I'm not afraid
To let them show
I pray that God
Will continue to allow
Our friendship to grow
I have great feelings
About this and I won't let them go
You have given me more joy
That I have ever felt
In such a long time
You are special
The man who I adore
You are perfect
I could not ask for anything more
