Back To Me

by Kami Holt

You bring me peace in my mind. You shine a light on the darkest parts of my soul. Without you and Reign, I was simply existing in this cold ass world.

You give me purpose. You challenge me to be a better father and man because I know that I have something worth holding on to. I’m happy, genuinely, completely happy. I wouldn’t have been able to say that a year ago or even three months ago. When I was a young nigga, I remember telling you that I could see my future when I looked at you, and that shit is still just as bright and clear as it was back then. You gon’ be my wife one day. The person who carries my legacy. The glue that holds our family together. I want you to accomplish every dream you have for yourself, but if all you ever do is wake every day and just exist, that would be more than enough for me. There’s nothing that you could do to earn my heart, because it doesn't belong to me. It never has.”

“She’s my safe place. The place that I escape to when I need to be refilled. She speaks life into me when I don’t have enough in me to do it for myself. She prays for me when I’m sleeping at night and speaks words of affirmations to me when I wake up.”
