A Breathe of Fresh Air

We came upon this captivating connection 
Not by force 
But by rejection
People longed for your sexual expressions 
But I know deep down inside that your heart was in another direction 
Your heart wanted peace of mind 
Someone to understand it 
Especially when it got in a bind
I can tell it wanted to escape 
No groceries in your house 
But you had a lot on your on your plate 
Sometimes your thoughts was the only thing you ate
Many times when u wasn't home 
There was hoopla going on in your Holly Hills estate 
They left you in the dark
And often you just escaped to the darkness 
They left you to rot and die
And then they was prolly gunna smoke the carcus 
Seeing you go through that was the hardest
But I was going through my struggles
Had fears that I would parish alone 
And that we would never become a couple 
Sorry I was a bystander 
Just kno I was in your corner 
I refused to scamper 
Indescribable stench in Apartment T2
And it's just not the laundry hamper 
During the day i couldn't wait for our nighttime chatters 
You was mine and I was yours 
No one else mattered 
Your stories so captivating 
Words like a beautiful sunset painting 
And more of your allusive attention is what I'm craving
The folks in the next room are heated and hating 
But let them be jealous
And we're in love 
Theres nothing they can tell us
We're in love
And we don't even know it 
I've been knowing you're the one 
I just had to wait on that moment 

A breathe of fresh air 
But u took my breathe away
May 26th is one of my fav days 
I ddnt just give you the key to the house
I gave u the key to my outsides and insides 
Now we're on the way Cedar Point 
And I predict you're gunna scream on all the rides
I'll prolly scream to I'm not gone front 
You make me so drunk and high
Just one hug from you is like hitting a blunt 
I ddnt even say what a kiss does
Go sit down 
I'll wash the dishes with plenty of suds
House is clean and bills are paid 
You have me and I have you 
No need to be afraid 
Sometimes I wonder if I had spilled my heart sooner 
Would we even still be here 
But we've managed to be in each other's life's for 3 years
Even when times when your sis would leave you Boogie
And she would be drinking cumm and beer
Back when your working 3rd shift at UPS
And I'm stocking shelves with Zahir
Some how we was always connected 
And almost everyday I look back at this improvised journey 
And yell Woah this is epic 
Every single time I said I Love you 
I meant it 
The passion that you exhibit 
Makes my heart run Marathons 
And erupts the flow of my lysosomes and lipids  
When we touch there's so much power
Your inner thoughts I wanna devour 
Your smile I want to consume 
Your laugh I want to gobble on
I don't care who's in the room
Day by day is our motor 
Even tomorrow is too soon 
Take our time Ets do this right 
Eat our Dots 
And drink our sprite 
Food stamp just kicked In 
So we'll be iite 
You'll kill the competition 
While I kill the dust mites 
Marry you
There's no might
The only question is when and where
But no need rush
We have eternity to prepare 
Noonie called it 1st 
That was a year and a half ago
And we've both been through the worst 
But those times are dead and over 
You need a roof 
We're both co owners
You need to cry
Here's my shoulder 
You see Flex
We'll choke her 
You see happiness 
Well I see it everyday 
Everyday when I wake up 
And peer you way
