The Ode Farewell

Summer

I reminisce back to that Golden Time of Day when I fell in love with your essence
My Soul Sister
You were product of The Miseducation of the Negro and a collection of Songs in the Key of Life
A grade ahead of Lauryn Hill
Add a pinch of Brown Sugar and the soul of our ancestors
But you were hurt
A beautiful mess
'Cause Winter had broken your heart too
But you had quickly learned that there Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City
You were Like Water For Chocolate
A College Dropout
A caterpillar that had built her cocoon on the Rose That Grew From Concrete
Hey There Lonely Girl
I understand that it's Human Nature to cry but dry your eyes because I got you

I promise

I promise that I always got you
Always until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky or the ocean covers every mountain high
I always got you until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea or until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Trust and believe I always got you
On my life, that's word to Stevie Wonder
So know that
Even when I leave or when the seasons change again
As they always do
My heart is forever with you

My heart is forever yours
My heart is forever yours

So until we meet again

Love
