Thought I would share.
Once upon a time, I was the life of the party.
Then the party ended.
I had nothing......
I had nobody to turn to, but YOU.
You had it all!
Your own private practice,
A thriving career,
A six figure income,
The strong independent black woman.......that was you.
Your world was so perfect.
My world?
The complete opposite
I had nothing......
"My Life Was Low"
But you didn't care....
You only had my best interest at heart.
You may have been a thousand miles away, but I always felt like you were right there behind me-watching my back, and pushing me towards my destiny.
Your warm smile, your soft voice, your POWERFUL prayers-
You were everything a man could want and so much more.
I had nothing.....
"My Life Was Low"
I would throw pity parties for myself as I wondered how
I went from having a family and living in a nice house with two cars to living in my mom's house and riding the bus to work.
You were always there with a word of encouragement!
I had nothing....
"My Life Was Low"
*Fast forward*
Now, I have my own place and driving to work.
Yes, your Man "pulled himself up by his bootstraps". (inside joke)
Life is grand!
You gave up your practice and moved South, just so you can be closer to me.
It's hard to express the feeling a man has when he finds a woman who is just as happy-if not more- about his success as he is.
But like so many men with good women, I took you for granted.
I forgot about the many nights you prayed for me over the phone.
I forgot about the times you would offer to send money to help take care of MY kids.
I thought the grass was greener on the other side,
My world?
The complete opposite

I thought the grass was greener on the other side,
So I literally pushed you away.
Now the very person responsible for breathing life back into a breathless man, is no longer my number one priority.
I guess you can say you were priority number two, because I treated you like sh*t!
What was I thinking?
You didn't deserve that!
You were a VIRTUOUS Woman!
A perfect ten!
Beautiful without makeup!
A flawless body without ever stepping foot inside a gym!
And I let it all go......
I used to love you so.....when
