"Ready for Love" - Indie Arie
My nails are way too long for this right now. They're getting stuck in the keyboard and I'm finding it quite difficult not to make noise as I carefully tap on the keys. My eyes itch, red from the contacts that I may need to change sooner than its month-long lifeline. I have my wet hair wrapped up in a quick-dry towel and can feel the throbbing of my feet after a long, productive and very amazing week. I sit back and reflect as I try to get comfortable on a chair that I used to consider my place of peace during so many sleepless nights. I breathe in deeply to take in all that's been laid out in front me and even the things that have been taken away. Then slowly, I breathe out.
There are few distinct moments that put me at ease. They come at me unexpectedly and often at times and places one would never think they would come. This time it was a holiday morning and the place? A busy, popular restaurant that was filling up fast. This song seeped out from the speakers while I was squeezing my passion fruit into my tropical iced tea. I dropped the entire wedge in, jamming the pulp out with a thin, black straw as it continued to play. I took a sip of my favorite drink and looked around.
"I wonder who else is actually listening too," I thought. But all I saw were people (including the ones in my booth) too distracted in conversation and awesome honey wheat bread. I excused myself right before the song came to end and ran to a quieter place to see if my phone would quickly pick it up.
It did. This is for you.
Lyrics:
I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity
I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cuz you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing
I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here
If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect's the spirit world
And thinks with his heart
I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can
I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice
My eyes
My soul
My mind
Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love
I am ready
