Why Won't U Let Me Love U?

A conversation that I wasn't quite ready for...Being that my heart is still kinda sore, but realizing that I deserve so much more....He looked me in my eyes with such sincerity & care.... & said "Damn this is so ***in unfair!" "Why won't u let me love u? PLEASE let me love u! I wanna be your eyes when u can't see, I wanna be tha song that sings ur sweet Melody... I wanna be tha water that washes ur body real clean, after u been sweatin & stressed from tha heat.... I wanna be ur punchin bag when ur mad, I wanna be ur smile when ur feelin sad.....Why won't u let me love u??? I'm listening." He's makin me so uncomfortable, tryna look him in his eyes....Every time a man opens his mouth, I instantly think he's telling me lies.......But It's something different this time..... I swear I saw a tear glistening on his cheek, it fell from his eye when he first began to speak & he wiped it away real nonchalantly.... While he continued gazing at me..... "Why won't u let me love u? I wanna love tha rhythm of ur heart beat, while ur body is layin on top of me, real close chest to chest while our hearts meet.... I wanna love ur crazy hair all over ur head, when u first awake in tha mornin & get outta bed, I wanna love u! Everything about u even tha nasty things, & let u curse me out when u turn into tha witch that mother nature brings....kuz I know u only flip when ur period's on kuz ur an Angel & ur not quite used to this physical form.....My love will keep ur spirit warm if u let me love u." Damn...this got me speechless I don't know what to say, every time I love a man he's never here to stay. Why can't we just chill & kick it like back in tha day? I'm bout to turn around real slow & try to walk away... "I'm not letting u leave until u answer me....Why won't u let me love u pretty lady? darlin baby let me love u, I'll put u up so high in tha sky on a throne, that you'll think tha Moon & tha stars is ur home....& you'll never have to worry bout feelin alone. I wanna love tha air u breathe kuz it's keepin u alive, to be here with me....Why won't u let me love u?" I'm sittin here lookin crazy, & scared to give this man a chance .... they all so triflin & shady, & he want ME to be his lady smh damn why is he doin this to me? I ain't got time to be worried about a man's infidelity or him keepin our business out tha streets confidentially.... I'll be damned if I let him *** me up mentally! "Why won't u let me love u? I'm not ugly, fat, stupid, or slow.... I'm very intelligent & this u should already know! Ur my pretty flower & I wanna watch u grow in my garden & not from tha flower store, I wanna keep u in tha purest of soil...& shower u, & fertilize ur seeds so I can have more of u..... I wanna adore u! Why won't u let me love u!?"

So genuinely and smoothly flowed. And i feel many would agree, Even when the words seem sincere, lies from the past make you hesitate. Enjoyed the read!

You expressed clearly how the residue of fractured trust from past relationship(s) can sink a future one before it can even set sail. I definitely can relate. Nice write, B. Dynasty!
