Your Gaze

I been into you since grade school

I remember sitting next to you

I made you laugh

And you made me smile too

I asked you out

You turned me down too

But I understood

I was a lil nicca from the hood

I was young and wild

But Time passed by

I been on my grind

I’m a 6 figure nicca now

I just needed time

To show you that I’m worthy

You need someone who goes out their way to show you that you’re worth it

Life is too short to wake up with regrets

So love the person who treats you right

So you don’t forget

I remind you everyday that you’re gorgeous

I just wanna be the man you need in your corner

I can be your confidant

I wanna be your person

I never wrote a love song

But this here is perfect

You deserve the love you give everyone else

I wanna love you the way I never loved anyone else

We were strangers with a history,

Two hearts on separate roads,

But fate had other plans for us,

And somehow, here we go.

You smiled like the years were seconds,

Like time just held its breath and

in that pause, I saw it clear—

A spark that never left.

No rush to write forever,

But I feel it when you’re near—

Like the moment I first saw you,

Was meant to lead me here.

So if you’re wondering if I’m staying,

If this is just a phase—

Know I’d relive all my yesterdays,

To end up in your gaze.
