THE ONE I WOULD HAVE DUSTED OFF AND KEPT FOR MYSELF

     In primary school there was a young girl who use to sit across from me, who just looked a little softer then the other girls, and had a captivating smile. Quiet as a church mouse and just as stately as the Queen herself, she pushed me into adolescence before I was even ready.
     Somewhere in my early adulthood, I stumbled on her by mistake, and she was wrapped up tight in the arms of a man who would not let her breath on her own. I must have look at her one time too many, when the man asked me if I liked what I saw. To my shame I said yes, more so then he would ever allow. Just as big a fool as me, the young man asked if i would love a ride, I said surely. A deal was made right there and before the week was out, i picked up ms beauty and took her to test her womanhood.
     She was more woman then I had anticipated, and gave me more love then I ever deserved at that time. What she did to me, even poetry would not allow written. When she let me go, I felt a tear come to my eye, for she was all I knew and much more then witnesses can come fort with accounts.
    Asking me for the money owed, I politely told her, no! I would be giving this money to your boyfriend myself.

•      As she walked away, I  felt as if I could have dusted her off and kept her for myself, but shook it off and took the money that was owed to her boyfriend who had forgotten he had even made the deal with me. Happy with his money, I left him with his thoughts as I gathered mine. Yes! but for the grace of God, I would be the biggest whore this side of heaven, and only He knows just how truthful this statement is.
