Kindred spirit we were, from the heavens, made was a team
Lovely man, sugared to marrow; but for you - you were afraid to yearn it did seem
A man of passion; but for you - you were afraid to dream
A man with a smile that would melt butter, sunlight it would beam
Oh, how I have been trying to formulate the words, the phrases … that won’t seem dim

You were my ebony, honey chocolate knight
Our fiery love was so blissful and felt so right
Our heated hungry bodies sending tremors fitted so tight
Your burning, yearning love I could not fight
And all signs Mother Nature showed us seemed right

Our birthdays one day apart
You, a man who supported my art
You, a man who always thought with your heart
So in synch we were, my sentences you would finish in a dart
I never did imagine we could ever part

In you so much love I had found
For me you were always around
When in the gloomy and gray cloud
You would never let them hound
But let me in joy and peace be sound

You were like the cool breeze in summer’s day, my swain
You were my river running though a desert plain
You were the shoulder were I would lain
You were my shelter from the pouring rain
You were my comfort before the pain

When uncertain and in doubt, all you would stomp out,
Days seemed long, when with you I was without
When around, with joy I would shout
With you the caged tigress was out
No longer in a cage but roaming about

We watched the wild flowers grow
We watched the raving rivers flow
We felt the north wind blow
And we did let nature did run the show
But after a while I no longer could go with the flow

My love I did prove to you
I was kind, faithful and true
For you were my lover, my friend and my boo
You were my moon, my sunshine and I saw the Divine in you
I would never have believed that one day I would live without you

You did touch my heart, body and soul
You never did let us fall; you were pleasing and never gall
For this I loved you with my all and I will always stand tall
But I realized love could not conquer all
Ours was utopian, reality you wouldn’t see at all

But my aspirations and I were growing fast
But my vivacity and I were moving past
My hunger for more was vast
I needed to move on, to grow, to leave my mark, to set my mast
A shadow in us was then cast

I had talents to pursue
I had dreams to make come true
I needed more, I was feeling blue
I needed to grow, getting blocked was my flue
So compatible in love we were, held together with glue

But realized in life compatible we were never
For what you gave me I will love you forever
I’m sorry, if I did hurt you ever
I’m sorry, to hurt you I did not mean to never
I’m sorry, but you have to move on for the better.
