_____ by Najaah Childs

Last night we had a fight
And it was my fault..it was your fault....it was our fault
Attacking each other with rage and verbal assaults
But tonight I want to make it up to you
Professing my love in more ways than letting my lips speak
Expressions other than satisfying between satin sheets
Let me undress you and lay you down by the fire
No need for lingerie type attire
Hot oils, candles, and fresh fruit fit the satire
Let me massage your lower back
To help you relieve the stresses of your workday and of the night before
Touching your soft skin, holding your body, and looking into your eyes to
watch your spirit soar
Move you to the bathtub and wash your body the sweetest of fragrances
My kisses upon your shoulders are worth more than any sentences
As I dry your body I can see the forgiveness arise in your eyes
This is the perfect time but you put your finger over my lips before I could
apologize
You look at me and you say "You were wrong, I was wrong, We were wrong"
I nodd in agreement
After we finish making love...I think to myself and Thank God that our fights
don't last for long
