Sitting across from Nasir, i looked at him and smile. Love Don't Change by Jeremih played softly in the background as i was now looking through the window. I wrote on the notepad i had, the thoughts that ran through my mind.
We were currently at Jasmines condo staying for the weekend. She wanted us to stay here instead of booking a hotel. Alaiya was at my brother's place so it was just Nas and i until Jasmine and her boyfriend come home from wherever.
We had to attend a dinner later at his mother's house and since it was still early in the day, he wanted us to do something different from what we usually do. Him and i were both writing on notepads, a poem for each other. It has to be something we learn from each other over the years and something we wanna do in this marriage. I thought it was fun and romantic because we get to express more of our thoughts to each other in words.
"Finish?" he looked over at me.
"Yeah." i smiled.
"Read yours first." he stopped the music.
"Alright." i fold my legs indian style. "I want to be your motivation, inspiration, and everything in between. I want to be the reason for your smile, the one who turns your frown upside down. I want to be the one you look up to and admire and the one you desire. The voice in your heart, not your ear, telling you everything that you need, not want to hear. I want to mean enough to you to be your solution to all life's ups and downs. I want you to need me every morning when you wake up, during the day when you have had enough. I want to feel your excitement to kiss me good night after your day has been so rough. I need and want all these things from you because you're the only one who gets me through. I love you more and more each day. You have blessed me with a beautiful life, made together by both of us. I need all these things from you because my most treasured title is your wife." i finished.
"That's how you feel? After i come home from work?"
"Sometimes." i mumbled and scribbled on the paper.
"I apologize babe. Work is very frustrating sometimes and i wasn't thinking of your needs. Please forgive me?"
"I do and it's fine."
He looked at me before turning his page.
"If I could dream The dream I wanted to, I would close my eyes, And dream a dream for you. I would give you all the world, That you are deserving of, And to you I would give My everlasting love. I would see to it That you were never sad And nothing in your life Would ever happen bad. I would wish for you All things would go your way, And you would always be happy, Each and every day. In my dream You would stay Just as beautiful As you are today. Life for you would be as perfect As the blueness of the sky, And no one would ever hurt you, Or ever make you cry. I know it's just a dream, But if dreams could come true, I would close my eyes And dream a dream for you."
