But We are Meant to Be

Her mama don’t like me

she never lets me see her

Constantly in fear for her

wondering what’s next for us

What if we’re just tied together

by the cell service?

built up through a phone

no face to match the words

What if I forget the sound of her voice

in my ears

the joy of having her

in my world

what if I never see her face again

remembering it only though video

but not ever in my memories?

I won’t let her mama ruin us

I won’t let her take this away.

She will always be mine

always in my mind

always in my heart

always in my memories.

And someday?

she’ll actually be in my presence

she’ll be in my present

and not just my past.

Waiting for that someday

and I will see it happen.

Her mama may not like me

but we are meant to be.
