With Love, Songbird

Hey lover,
I remember when I first met you. My mother would play Purple Rain & Ross Royce before she would go out or when she would just sit around the house. You crept into my heart and took my breathe away. I would dance and sing along. Me not knowing then that you were slowing taking me over. Then I hear the songs of TLC, Kriss Kross, Excape, SWV, Jade, Envogue etc. I would dance night and day. I couldn’t even sit and eat dinner with my family for wanting to be apart of your world. Moving out of my seat and catching a beating for it. I grew and you grew in me. You became apart of my body then you became apart of my voice. My mama got me some Eagles to please this part of me that was asking for it and I started to fly. I didn’t say a word but I guess my body was sending the signal. I got ahold of Monica, Brandy, Faith, Toni, 702 and many more. I would imitate that sound not yet knowing my own voice. I had no idea what you were doing with me but I just went along for the ride. I was so in love I didn’t care how you would help or hender me…I just knew that I wanted you around…touching every part of who I was. There were so many places that you showed your face and everytime I would see it..it would take my breathe away. I remember when you put in my ear the beautiful voice of India Arie singing Ready for Love. I was intrigued with what you could do with sound. I missed alot along the way to where I am going with this open love letter to you…the one that has always held my heart…the one that has always made me feel as if you were the only one that is listening. I love you. I really love you. No man, nor woman, nor thing in this entire world has ever compelled me like you. I know that God is the only one that could have created something so beautiful as you. People take advantage of you, people don’t appreaciate you, but I know that everytime I was sad, happy, angry, you were there with your words, with your sounds to make me feel okay again. I am not saying that you ever solved my problems, what I am saying is that you were the one who held my hand on the way to solving my problems. You are not God, You are not Jesus, but you are my friend. You are the only friend that I have ever had that has never let me down. You make me feel apart of something. I love you, I really love you. When the day comes along that a man takes your place in my heart I know that you will be right there to serenade us. I know that you will be right there to guide us through rough and smooth times…the times that we hate each other…to the times that we are madly in love with each other. I know you have a song for us. Until that day arrives you will thrive in this place that was created in me…just for you. Sing me a song babe…sing me a melody…make me feel like you understand what I am feeling…make me feel like this song is just for me. Music….you have completely taken me over. Music you have completely taken me under…Music you have completely captured apart of me that is vulnerable and in my mind I don’t care because I know that you are gentle with me. Music you are my first love…you are my first lover…you are my Music………I LOVE YOU!!!
