Dear Ashanti,

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨♡୧⋆ ˚｡⋆

How are you my love?
Forgive me, it’s been a while
Don’t you go crying
You were always a sensitive child!

I want to thank you for dreaming
Always striving to achieve
For allowing your heart to soften
Since when you liked the color pink?

We’ve been through a lot
Things in taking down to the grave
Learning to understand our triggers
Letting go of pent up rage

And resentments for sins
Of those we thought we could depend

What I adore about you most
Is your flair for creativity
Hadn’t known you were so expressive
Since when you liked writing poetry?

We were a dynamic duo
But then you disappeared
And I took it out on myself
Allowed stagnancy due to fear

But then I found the key
To unlock you from the tomb
Got rid of some bad habits
And made way, offering you room

To be just who are
So we’d live authentically
Doing what we do best
And that’s the utmost — dramatically

We’re embarking on our next phase
Of this thing called life together
Please continue to be my guiding light
Promise to love and cherish you forever

Watch here
