coke-fueled nights exploring the clubs of manhattan
weekends marching, dancing, and chanting
you caught my eye and enticed my mind
I imagined a future closely intertwined
time has passed but we still are brothers
we’ve shared precious moments as haphazard lovers
you inspire me with your sincerity–your willingness to learn
I desire no more than mutual trust has earned
we’ve been through trials–manic storms and disarray
we’ve navigated murky waters–and dissected shades of grey
my karmic crush-my cypher-my friend
I pray to gods within that our bond never bends
