If I Were To Build You A House

by

Kazeem Taiwo

If I were to build you a house

I'd build you one filled with love.

Love from my words plastered on the walls:

the little decorators scattered about

From our pictures,

Ones filled with the brightest smiles;

The youngest faces

And the good times,

Just to remind you of our love.

Of what we used to be,

What we still are,

And who we plan to be.

Every corner of the house

Where we make love

Will prove our love and devotion

And every mark will tell a story -

Maybe not a good one -

But it will be ours and that's all that matters.
