I like to say my secret power was having a praying grandmother. Gams made sure we knew the bible front and back, and that we stayed rooted in the church.
I considered myself a lost soul, just wandering this earth until it was my time. I felt dead on the inside. That was until Blair Underwood walked into my life.
The infamous eyebrow raised. “You correcting that nigga’s name while laying on top of me, my love… that’s not what you just did, right?”
It was Blair’s world, and I was just the nigga making sure she always remained protected in it.
‘Whenever someone unveils their true colors, don’t repaint them with your imagination,
I never wanted to overshadow anyone else with my problems, always needing something, never able to be the friend that could offer her shoulder because she was a damn mess.
Blair pulled his loc. “Meer, I don’t like you.” “We family… don’t got to like me.”
Inscribed into the back, on each side of the cross, were our names. Quasim on one end Blair on the other end. “If we keep this at the center of us, we don’t ever have to worry about this foundation being faulty.
I pray to God every night and morning about her. Asking God to heal her, bring her through this storm, because there is so much waiting for her. I’m waiting for her.
