U CAME

U Came – quietly, softly without warning

Strong and defined, yet reserved and refined

U Came – touching my inner being

Showing me the path of a genuine black queen

U Came – feeling out my every move

Giving the music to dance my hearts groove

U Came – seeing my light and potential

Making way for greatness through great darkness
U Came – tasting my tears from the past
Shedding my fears for future endeavors
U Came – small and unintentional as a stationary shower of rain
And then U Came, and U Came and you wouldn't stop coming
U Came – without any intentions of stopping
Even when I asked not for you for fear of pain
U Came
U Came – smiling when there used to be crying
Beaming drops of golden rays U Came
U Came – in the image of him
And without a net, I began to fall
For U Came not welcomed but in time wanted
U Came and I fell flat on my face
U Came – because
U – R - Love
