Marty King and Shenika Sims: A Respectful Meeting At the Old Spot

MARTY KING

it has been a long time
you decided to drown in an unknown body of water
it feels good to know that you are okay
i guess you felt that you had to move on
where did our love go wrong
i choose not to ask you that and focus on the here and the now
you are looking good, and i see the ring

SHENIKA SIMS

it has been a long time
you decided to be a statue with a number in home's normalcy
it feels good to know that you are still happy continuing in continuum
i guess you felt that maintaining a legacy of maintenance is what you had to do
our love was split into different directions by changes in time, wants, and needs
i choose to be happy to see you and focus on the here and the now
you are looking good, and i see the contentment in your eyes
