Hello C,
When I look in a mirror I don't get reflections,
'Cause it's you that I see...
My love for you is bigger than the sea,
Taller like a tree,
But happier like a bird that flies...
You and I would intertwine to form us...
A bind bonded in love but made from dust...
I know you might sometimes feel unsecure,
But I promise I'm gonna be there for you,
So baby please relax...
Let my heart sing you a song...
A lullaby that comforts but corrects when you are wrong...
So that you can impact in our kids on how to be strong...
And focus, 'cause that is key, then carry the word of God along...
I'll be your calm in the chaos, your peace in the storm,
Even when life gets cold, I'll keep you warm...
I wouldn't take a bullet for you 'cause I don’t wanna die...
But I’ll stand in front of fear with you side by side...
Baby, I wanna live for you...
Protect and then build a legacy with you...
'Cause someday, you will be my trophy wife...
And I'm gonna take you home and stage your heart in a mirror
So it reflects in my life...
And bring forth who stutters repeatedly...
And I will name him after me...
Son of my hard work — he's my legacy...
Future of my past — he explains who I will be...
Rank me among the greats either 1, 2 or 3...
And ain't number one? If I ain't number one, I failed you, C...
'Cause I ain't in it for the fame that dies within weeks...
Neither am I in it for the money that can’t take me when you leave...
C, I wanna be remembered. Long after I breathe...
Long after I'm gone, long after you grieve...
So as to build a statue within a two-dimensional life,
That keeps us in an episode within our sleeves...
Hello C,
I know you don’t know my name and perhaps who I am...
I'm a man from the street and I also live in a slum...
At dawn every day, I climb the big tree in front of your house...
To look at you one more time then imagine if we were to be spouse...
The sweat that emerges from within your skin...
While you exercise, the smile drawn on your face
Makes me feel you are my queen...
And at that moment of life, joy, happiness
And fulfilment fills my heart fully to the brim...
Hello C,
Every morning before you get
Down from your Pap's luxurious car...
I would have been peeping at you through the class window slides...
Hoping that I will be the one to open
The car door, not your house bodyguard...
Hold your hands and walk with you across the hallway...
Sit beside you 24/7, and for any man to come closer to you — no way...
Gaze through your eyeballs and inhale the sweet-scented perfume on you
That smells like strawberries...
I wonder if love could be bottled — I swear it would smell like you.
Your perfume smells like strawberries?
Then mine smells like what?...
I know you eat good foods,
but for me, I take in everything like that...
Of course, in school, I'm scared to bypass the lane where you at...
I'm afraid of what you might say even if the chemistry is right...
C, though I love you, I can't compete with the other guys...
'Cause from the slums where I'm from, everything creeps, and that's why.
