Dedication

by Aaron White


Meditation has helped me to see that
I am ready to pledge to you my dedication.
I want to be yours without hesitation.
When the devastation of degradation sets in,
Thoughts of you have become my medication.

And they say that only a stupid fool can fall in love,
But you have also become my education.
You have acquired my undivided attention;
My only intention is to be by your side;
No misguided intervention can take
My mind off the things I mention
And vent from inside.

It has become an easy task to forget my past
Because of how I wish that you and I could last
In a relationship that only one can dream to have.
Love has grasped me in its grasp and I got it bad.

Because of our situation
I can’t see you how I would like,
But thoughts of you forces me to close my eyes real tight
And try to visualize you at night.

When I probably get the moment to
Spend a whole day with you,
I probably won’t know what to do
As a result of all the pain that waiting has put me through.

I don’t know what will happen for sure,
All I can do is inform you on what I wish for,
Which happens to be you more and more
With passion galore from my inner core.

This fantasy that I revealed,
Can’t it be real? Keeping my sanity depends on how you feel.
Frantically still, I’m maniacally ill
Which only your hands can heal.

I plan to be the man you build a family with and chill.
The streets have made me weak from trying to stay free,
Plus each time I put my grief behind
Seems like I find myself in a deeper bind,
But I will be fine
As long as you stay sweet and kind to me.

So now that you know that I love you so,
Can we grow and show
Everybody how dedication is supposed to go?
