Love story Pt. 1

Sundress, flip flops Afro Baby had beauty Like a black pearl Spotted her walking all by herself So I jogged across the street She asked could she help me I said yes Can we just walk You talk I listen For you I'll sell my shoes To pay attention And did I mention You beautiful Can I tag along Wherever you choose to go She paused and asked What is your name again I told her I'm moses She said no really No really my mom chose it She smiled and said that's cool I'm Raven I'd be happy to walk and talk with you She began walking and talking While I listened She had that type of precious In her presence that made hours feel like minutes She had a bunch of opinions Some about politics some about religion Then she spoke of her family How her paps abandoned them Her moms was in the slammer Her drinking habits had gotten too bad to handle Then she spoke of how She worked two jobs while taking online classes to afford her one bedroom apartment Where her and her little sister Who lived with her Slept at With no mom no dad Her little sister's name is Emma And she's always asking when they're mom and dad is coming back Where is she now I asked She's at school Raven replied Glancing at her watch She said aww I'm out if time Got to be on time for work with that strict boss of mine Raven out stretched her hand And said i enjoyed walking and talking with you Maybe we can go again some time and Emma can come to See ya Moses I waved goodbye as she jogged up the sidewalk and disappeared Wow I thought She's perfect I hope to see her soon To tell her my story
