Seven years of chasing

Dear Kayla ,

They say roses are red and violets are blue

but i say everyday that im deeply in love with you

we're real to all situations together so I know it's true

always know i have your back through thick and thin

you brighten my day everyday even if you just show a grin

I'll turn it into a smile to a hug then a kiss

our relationship will take off let's start off with this

all i ever wanted was you by my side at a very young age

i was ten you were ten on a corresponding page

but as my eyes engaged on you something changed

it was a feeling that know will always stay the same

did you do something for me to me to always feel this way

seven years my feelings for you has never changed

baby just know that i don't find that strange

discovering new ways to protect you from the pain

so as i approach you the first time of my life

i said nice to meet you but my knowledge wasn't as precise

fifth grade was the first time you came into my life

you was quiet and shy

but you've always had the beauty of a butterfly

I thought to myself what could i do to make you mine

do i have to wear shoes that attracts your eyes

or do i have be a young gentlemen and make sure you don't cry

you had somebody else that made you smile

i wish I i was in their shoes but i didn't know how

so i just forgot it and stayed with as much hope as possible

middle school comes im thinking i have a chance to get you

still looking like my humanized angel

i could just tell you was meant for me

i was only eleven but vividly i was still able to see

that you were the only ten i see

even in my dreams that's why i slept sweet

everyday when i walked past you in the halls

i wanted to let you know i'm here whenever you take a fall

compliment on you how nice you looked

though i was nervous my hands constantly shook

my pickup lines for you was barely working

but i was still young can hurt to try im learning

we held a couple conversations as sixth grade went by

and i still didn't have you as my baby like a lullaby

i never gave up on you seventh grade i gave it another try

as always you looked so gorgeous thinking like lord why

this girl is so amazing it's crazy

her personality im craving and it's so tasty

this the one and only lightskin i want

we spoke more and it gave me the goosebumps

thought to myself is she opening up

more of a friendly conversation in your thoughts

couple weeks later as i walked by you again

you had someone making you smile

i know i didn't fail again pretended it never happened

i'm going to get you one day Kayla Johnson

my hopes never went down the drain i promise you that

eighth grade i just hoped to get back on track

we we're always good friends that will forever be cherished

i plan one day to have you to plan a trip to paris

can't think to fast im still on to you

my energy chasing you will never be through

i felt us getting closer and closer deep into the year

so deep it felt like i was shedding a tear

because all i wanted was you to be near

i had faith into us always i did that with no fear

as eighth grade was wrapping up we had a school dance

i figured this could be my one and only chance

to look for the prettiest girl on the cruise that stands

i found you would you like to dance

you said yes we're getting closer in advanced

went home that night and wanted to text you

but i didn't want to rush anything with you

we're becoming high schoolers less than 6 months

excitement builds up i want you with me to begin freshman year

am i worthy enough yet ?

do i have to wait for my chance still i got to find out

i go for you again if i get rejected by you

trust me i won't pout

inside my mind all i heard was a shout

i'm getting closer and closer i could feel it

kayla im telling you if you have a bruise i'm here to heal it

just want to let you know that i'm here i wont ever leave

there's many things that i want to achieve

with you to back me up as a relieve

smile for me one time future baby

you said you want to focus on your schoolwork

respect all for you whatever makes you excel first

always know i'll guide you like a tool merch

freshman year sprinted its way by so quick

before it hit i got told i had to move away for sophomore year that's it

I felt like me chasing you would be over

but it didn't i was lucky like pot 4 leaf clovers

two years later after i moved i still had thoughts about you

I don't know if you thought bout me if not its cool

I understand i wasn't there to contact you everyday

I was slacking with communication shame right in me

sophomore and junior year was a eyeopener

it gave me the tools and knowledge become more stronger

I don't want you to think of me as a loner

just because i chased you for years

it's for a reason i just need a couple

years to change up my gears

you'll be surprised with what i for you this time

i'll cover up all the pain you ever experienced

i'm your human tissue from all the crying

senior year beginning in a month

i text you we did a lot of catching up

couple weeks later feelings from you actually started to develop

i was smiling harder than ever

what did i do to you towards you to be clever

it worked and that's all that matters

the days you have with me will be the opposite of sadder

while were together we have to train each like a master

talk sense into each other like a personal pastor

everyday heart beats faster and faster

i thought to myself i can stop running cause i finally got her

yes i finally said

seven years of chasing and i'll never regret it
