Brown Sugar

Wow... its been quite sometime since I've written in this thing. I actually called you today because the movie Brown Sugar came on. I remember years ago when you were with Marc, you called me out of the blue and damn near demanded that I watch Brown Sugar. "It's our story. I was sitting next to Marc watching it and he kept comparing it to he and I and kept thinking to myself 'yeah you are Boris Kodjo, not Taye Diggs.'" And I sit here now thinking the same thing. The two characters have sex right before her wedding and she decides to create space to see things more clearly. He asks "Why are you talking like that? Why does it have to be all or nothing?" How many times have we had that discussion. Sometimes I wish I could just stop this facade I'm carrying. Sometimes I wish you were here watching this movie with me. The two main characters... no extras.

Miss you Bird.
