I will never forget the first time I met you. It was summer time. I laughed when you told me you were from New York, because we met in California. You laughed at me, because I was a kid from the south, but you liked my southern charm. I was shy, and I didn’t talk much, but that didn’t matter to you. I could listen to you all day. You set my soul on fire. Every time I heard you, you made me move in ways I had never known. You were a bit rough around the edges and had a foul mouth that I couldn't get enough of. Being that young, I was nervous to introduce you to my family. I hoped they would like you as much as I did, but they didn’t. My mom and dad didn't understand our relationship and didn’t really care for you, but that didn't stop me from loving you.
Fast forward a few years later to when I started feeling bolder. It was my time to talk, and your time to listen. I finally got you to talk about sex. Our relationship grew, and we added to our family. I knew it was real love. It was at that moment, I knew the world was ours and only time could destroy our relationship. Because that’s what time does...It destroys! Funny how our destruction never bothered you as much as it bothered me. I don’t know where things went wrong. I just wanted to love you, but the reality is somewhere along the way you had outgrown me. I didn’t give up though. I figured if I just threw some of this southern hospitality on you, you would come back. It didn’t work. I wasn’t the player type, and I have always been a one woman man. I couldn't let you go.
You were my first love and despite it all, we remained just friends. That’s where we are today. Although you have moved on, I still remain faithful to you in spirit. I still think about you every day. Sometimes I can’t help but to think about those first years. Oh how you filled my heart! You set the bar so high, no one else could compare. That is my problem. I compare everyone to you. I love you Hip Hop! Country music doesn't motivate me like you, and pop music doesn’t move my soul like you. All hope is not lost though. There's a chance to find a new love. I recently fell for something that moved me like you have all these years. She’s FLY! She’s Channel 47 on my Sirius radio, and she takes me back to the days when I fell in love with you.
