You
Is it the subtext
Or the context
Perhaps
The very idea of you
Crazy like
Maybe some
deja vu
Aligning me
To you
Got me chanting inside
A manifestation
So loud in me
But to the world
mute
My horn you toot
This thang here everything
And some more
Cute
This explosion
You have created inside of
Me
Yet I don’t want it to fully erupt
Cause that could abrupt
This overflowing
That I just can’t
fathom the thought
To get rid of
Enough
Child who
From you not possible
So let’s eradicate
That word from my vocabulary
Far from ordinary
Tough
I am
But your words erase
Abrasives
And bring up the layer
Of a soft
Me
See
Crazy how you once
Was a stranger
Yet somehow
you know me
Effortlessly
You communicate
Effectively
Simply put
It’s you
That brings out
The best in me
You
