Shihan reads a poem of his on the first
season of Def Poetry Jam (episode 2)
Love Like
by Shihan
I want a love like me
thinking of you
thinking of me
thinking of you type love,
or me telling my friends more than I've ever
admitted to
myself about how I feel about you type love,
or hating how jealous you are, but loving how
much you
want me all to your self type love,
or seeing how your first name just sounds so
good next to
my last name,
and shit, I wanted to see how far I could get
without
calling you, and I barely made it out of my
garage.
See, I want a love that makes me wait until
she falls
asleep then wonder if she dreaming about us
being in love
type love,
or who loves the other more,
or what she's doing at this exact moment,
or slow dancing in the middle of our
apartment to the
music of our hearts, closing my eyes and
imagining how a
love so good could just hurt so much when she
not there.
Shit, I love not knowing where this love is
headed type
love.
And check this, I want to place those little
post-it notes
all around the house so she never forgets how
much I love
her type love then not have enough ink in my
pen to write
all there is to love about her type love.
Hope that I make her feel as good as she
makes me feel,
and I want to deal with my friends making fun
of me the
way I made fun of them when they went through
the same kind of love type love.
Only difference is this is one of those real
love type
loves.
and just like in high school, I want to spend
hours on the
phone with her not saying shit,
and then fall asleep and then wake up with
HER right next
to me,
and smell her all up in my covers type love
I want to try to counting the ways I love
her, and then
lose count in the middle just so that I have
to start all
over again.
I want to celebrate one of those month
anniversaries even
though they ain't really anniversaries, but
doin' it just
cause it makes her happy type love.
And check this, I want fall in love with the
melody the
phone plays when her number is dialed in to
her type loves
and then talk to you til I lose my breathe,
she leaves me
breathless, so with the expanding of my lungs
I inhale all
of her back into me
I want a love that makes me need to change my
cell phone
calling plan to something that allows me to
talk to her longer
because, in all honesty, I want to avoid one
of them high
cell phone bill type loves.
I want a love that makes me regret how small
my hands are
I mean the lines on my palms don't give me
enough time to
love as long as I'd like to type loves,
and I want a love that makes me
st-st-st-st-stutter just thinking
about how strong this love is type love.
I want a love that makes me want to cut off
all my hair
Well, maybe not all of the hair
maybe just cut the split ends and trim my
mustache, but
it will still be a symbol of how strong my
love is for her.
And check this, I kinda feel comfortable now,
so I can tell y'all this
I even be fantasizing about walking out on a
green light just dying
to get hit by a car just so I could lose my
memory
get transported to some third world country
just to get treated
then somehow meet up again with you so that I
could fall in love with you in a different
language just
to see if it still feels the same type love.
I want a love that's as unexplainable as she
is, but I'm
married, so she is going to be the one that I
share this
love with.
