Our love story was not completely unplanned, we will say it was instead God’s master plan. The story of how we met starts in Kindergarten and can be retold through Jay’s lens with one of the many poems he wrote Leticia while they were still just dating.. Premature Love Your sister was always in my class However you were the one That always caught my attention Your smile was beautiful Like blossomed flowers and legos I still remember the first time You held my hand, I felt Giggles of joyful youth We walked the halls showcasing Our youth and beauty with each small step we took We were inseparable Not even the principal Could stop our beauty When 3rd grade came around We were in different schools However you still never left my mind I’d have dreams of us running in fields together, holding hands pretending we were in the magic Tree house book When middle school happened And the first day of school started I was nervous and anxious when I walked in and reached The classroom, I was scared. I was hoping I’d see somebody I knew or someone that would remember me Then I saw you My heart dropped It forgot how to function My mouth didn’t know How to communicate My vocal cords disintegrated And in the process burned An imprint of your Hair Smile Lips Eyes Skin Presence In the frontal lobe of my brain Making it so that I saw You in every dream and Every book and song heard. I would hesitate to go Outside because I’d see you In every cloud and flower I saw, I’d be always be looking For you, even on rainy days As Iyaz would say “Shorty was like a melody in my head It’s like my iPod stuck on replay” You didn’t pay much attention To me and frankly I don’t blame you Indigenous bowl hair cuts aren’t everyone’s Cup of tea, it takes a certain type of taste Whenever I was in your presence it was Like being with a super model That evoked confidence Not in arrogant way however in way that made everyone know that you Are the most beautiful woman In the room 4th grade came around For some reason God decided Show me that he was hearing My prayers. We were in a tent created by blankets Draping over lab tables It was dark yet your Face was lit beautifully I imagined our first kiss would Be you walking down that aisle Dressed in all white looking Angelic with all your divinity With our families on each side Rejoicing our beauty With God watching over his children On this special day But no This was happening To soon No, This isn’t how I Had planned it I hadn’t even said My vows yet. For a brief moment I Touched heaven I saw God I asked him To bless this I asked him to Save you for me I told him save her Because one day I’ll Become the man she Deserves, One day I I’ll be strong Strong enough to Support her with Grace and blessings “Oh, girl, I could write you a symphony The one that could fill your fantasies” Dec 2022 “O que eu peço a Deus é que o amor de vocês cresça cada vez mais e que tenham sabedoria e um entendimento completo, a fim de que saibam escolher o melhor. Assim, no dia da vinda de Cristo, vocês estarão livres de toda impureza e de qualquer culpa. A vida de vocês estará cheia de boa qualidades que só Jesus Cristo pode produzir, pra glória e louvor de Deus.” Fillipenses 1:9-11
