I see him the way no one else on this planet sees him... I see him as the human being he is. Christopher Maurice Brown, I love you. I just pray that you know what this means.
I should've done it. I should've let him go so easily. Only, everyone told me that it would be the "best fit" for him. Well, I never felt that way. Yet, I let him go. I'm so foolish for that, and I'm willing to admit it. I have to make things right.. But, only when the time is right. It's been almost 27 years...
But, I still haven't found the right time.

Smiling, I finally get a break off work. I walk into the ice cream parlor in such a great mood, nothing could ruin it.
"May I please have the Cappuccino Chocolate Chip?"
The man nods, and scoops it out. Hearing a bell ring, and multiple voices causes my attention. I watch a group of adults walk in, with a woman with a name tag on reading Lisa. Once they come up, the lady tells them to pick whichever flavor they want.
Once they open their mouths, I knew.
Everyone in the room knew. The only difference between everyone else and I?
I don't care. But, everyone else seemed to.
One light skin, very gorgeous man, walks closer to me and stared.

He gives me a short wave, and walks so close up to me, I could feel his breath. He gently reaches down, and strokes my hair.
"Hairrrrrr..."
He breaths out. I look up at him and smile.
"Yes. My hair. Do you like it?"
His mouth open in awe, he slowly nods.

"CHRISTOPHER! Come back here. Don't go bothering people."
"Oh, he's not bothering me... That's your name? Christopher?"
He giggles, and nods.
"Yeah... Yeah.... What's.... Your name?"
"Katelyn..."
"Kate... Linn?" I nod.
"Hi. I'm Lisa."
I turn my attention to the lady.
"Hi Lisa. I'm Katelyn."
"Kate.. Linn.." Chris breaths out.
Clearing my throat, I knock on the counter, grabbing the employees attention.
"Look, if you won't serve my friends here.. Go find me someone who will. If not, I'll get the manager and take my money elsewhere." I warn.
They served everyone, and I watch as they all sit down. I go to sit, only to be waved over by Lisa.
"Hey, do you mind sitting with us? We wanted to thank you for what you did, and for even paying for our ice creams."
"It's no problem." I say, taking the only seat left. In front of Lisa, and next to Christopher. As we begin to leave, the group comes up to me. They all have wide eyes, and crowd around me stroking my hair. Laughing, I look at each one and introduce myself.
"I'm.... Charles.."
"My... Name... Joseline."
"Jasmine..."
" Name is Quincy..."
"Jojo."
I smile.
"Why hello Charles, Jojo, Quincy, Joseline, Jasmine, and Christopher."
They giggle, continuing to run their fingers through my hair.
After exchanging numbers with Lisa, and a tight group hug, I watch them all leave in their van with Chris watching my every move.
