Roses Roses Poet Rhyme

Memphis and Minnesota

Like French fries and ice cream, two different places but retain the same meaning

Hot and cold like I am riding with the a/c on and the window down to catch the perfect breeze

If we were born in the same state would our relationship ever equate 

You can never be certain of what is to come but you can control your outlook

We used to go by intuition, then we used the stars, then we stumbled upon maps, before listening to the GPS

Someone will always have an opinion, direction, plan for what should be your relationship 

When the only map that matters is the directions to your relationship goals, the only opinion that matters is the thoughts floating from the mind of your queen or king

So, when all is lost and you are frustrated with bae over the little things

Look into the stars in their eyes under that Minnesota sky to find the answers

Why fight over the little things when in the beginning we connected through all of the little things

The way he would kiss her right before he said goodbye, was never the same as the kiss he gave as he said hello, it was special as if he was in the same moment she was thinking of as he walked away

The way she would hold you just a little tighter when she was afraid and believe in you when you didn’t believe in yourself

She has never been to Tennessee but I can picture her under the Memphis sunset, as to say it will all be ok at the end of the day

We get on each other’s nerves but all we have is us when everything else is gone, so no matter how hard life gets I will always be the one to kiss her goodnight

As we lay back and pop in a movie that we will never finish before our eyes close with my arms around you and your faith carrying my wavering thoughts

p.s. our feeling will stay the same, never changing same as the birthplace…
