I Fell In Love With Her

The woman in front of the mirror Staring back at her a reflection Wishing her so slender Hurting her soul so tender I can’t stop admiring At her innermost beauty Even though it didn’t get her attention I still fell in love with her… The lady of my life. I can’t deny it. As years passed by, I watched her grow. So beautiful, she bloomed, Into an African mama. Swung her boutilicious body Though she considered it as fat, Denied her self to eat led by her own imperfection Lost in her own imagination Of being a size two. I felt sorry for her Though I was still in love with her. Seasons passed, She was still beautiful, Though they lured her She still kept herself Made her appreciate The only thing that kept her going Knowing she deserves more Than what they can offer The rib they bear It’s too much for them to surrender. Even though she fell, My love for her grew I wish she knew How I take care of her daily I still hold her arms I still wipe her own tears, I still make her smile even when her heart breaks Am still and alwayz will be in love with her.
