For J.H.
“Woman,” Harewood, when I tell you woman,
Harewood, um is the first time in my life
I actually fall in love with a woman,
I mean a woman-and-a-half—
I never knew love could be so sweet.
Man, she have me doing things
I never do before in my life,
things that sweet—
things that bring-out the man,
things that bring-out the woman,
things that true love made of,
but more than anything
is the peace that she bring
into my life. Peace and security
and sure-ness. And confidence.
