My Dearest One

i wish you could see it in my eyes 
how much i truly care
though i'm currently in this state of haste
so many times i want to focus my attention on you
but my ambitions for money and the fame
have got me pushing you further away from me
in my mind i search
to find ways to make you understand my queen
that being african makes me feel like i'm a king
and so you know what that means
a king needs a queen
i need you tonight
but my talent calls
forgive me,i know in time
i'll make it back to you
