PRICELESS!

By Keith Kareem Williams

You come through the door with heat at your back and hell on your heels. She doesn’t need answers because she can feel that things just got real. You look her straight in the eyes, tell her to pack a bag because you have to go and she’s already automatically on point. Do you know why? It’s because she’s already built to ride. It’s something that can’t be taught or learned. It’s naturally inside her.

She encourages you to be better for the right reasons and not just because she also benefits from your success. She knows your goals and dreams so she helps you get there, just because she loves the light in your eyes. She can speak without arguing and knows how to make you feel her. She has no desire to control you or change you. Her words hold weight.

She respects you just as much as she loves you. She knows when to let you lead and she understands when she has to guide you back to a better path. She means you no harm. With her right there with you, there’s nothing you can’t do. She makes you better without even trying because her influence is all natural.

She’s your angel on this earth but she’s never ever soft because when the devil’s on your back, she knows exactly how to get him off. Her kisses can heal you and her tears can break your heart. She’s that powerful.

She’s your focus and the balance on the scales. She understands you because she listens and if she was gone, it would feel like everything important to you was missing. She’s the treble to your base and she can read your thoughts by just looking at your face. You can pillow talk away your secrets and she’ll take your secrets to her grave. She knows every single weakness that you hide but she’ll never use them against you.

She takes every inch of you but won’t complain. Even when you cause her pain, she loves you just the same. You can complete4ly trust her because she doesn’t desire anyone else since you touched her, even though she knows that they all lust for her. Whenever she’s out in the streets, her heart is on ice until she’s home with you.

She loves your children, ALL of your children, the ones you’ve made with her and the ones you made before. She loves them ALL because they’re all parts of you. If you died while on your mission to give them all a better life, she’d raise them all if she had to. Even after you were gone, she’d honor your life by doing her best to shape them into the quality of human beings you wanted them to be.

What is she worth? A woman like her is priceless. She’s worth you risking your life for her. She’s worth your death if that’s what it takes to keep her safe. You can let your pride die for her. She’s worth every risk as you put your heart in harm’s way. She’s always the one I want, on EVERY given day. She’s worth everything it takes to get her and then everything it takes to keep her.
