Love's Epilogue (The Reason)
….an adept and wise scholar
perhaps would have properly proclaimed you
“four decades and seven” Your naked splendor,
many would have been quite surprised
“sunny days, everybody loves them
tell me baby, can you stand the rain....”
and amazingly, you can and you have :)
I saw the truth at age 13
a young pubescent man with dreams
with the world ahead of him
and "The Wonder Years" soon to be behind.....
…..found you “perfect” inside his mind
As time goes by, a spell was cast
an enchantment “as I look in your eyes”,
my momentary lapse
a temporary loss
“time out of mind”
that set the stage and “I want you now”
“Anytime, any place....I don't care who's around”
and there is no perfect time
to remedy my mistake, lest we try
I can't stop “breaking the law for you”
'till the day I die
“...every breath you take
every move you make
I'll be watching you”
because........(and in case you didn't know)
“….You may not think that you are perfect
(Your lips, your eyes, your thighs)
Does something to me
But girl, I'm telling you you're perfect
(Your skin, your curves, your smile)
That's on everything
And you ain't gotta have your hair did
Your nails done, no makeup on
Ooh, girl, I'm telling you you're perfect
Girl, you're so damn perfect
You're perfect for me” Johnny Gill/Ralph Tressvant
