Best of Me (Amazing) by Anthony Hamilton

This Anthony Hamilton song is in honour of my two friends that got married last weekend, and have won the privilege of living the picture of 21st century marital bliss Tyler Knott paints in the poem below. I wish these two all the joy and love in the world, two people more deserving of happiness are hard to find. I pray your love and friendship are renewed daily, that God orders you steps and that the satisfaction of finding your perfect complement remains with you always. Happy married life Saze & Lade a.k.a Mr. & Mrs. Tedx Ikoyi! Love you two!xx

“I want this. I want that. I want photos of us. I want to be proud of us out loud. I want to make you giggle and I want to make you sigh. I want to smile and laugh. I want to kiss you. I want to take your breath away and I want to dance with you at a friend’s wedding and I want to pick you up and carry you when your feet are tired and I want to wait until you are almost asleep and then kiss your nose and make you laugh so hard with some secret joke that your belly hurts and you smack me for waking you all the way up so we have to get out of bed and sit and watch the city lights while eating a bowl of cereal at 1:38 a.m. I want to smell you fresh from a shower and paint your toenails and take you to baseball games and teach you hidden things that are going on that most people don’t know. I want us. I want the smell of pancakes when it’s me that cooks them and the sun hasn’t yet woken. I want the smell of dinner when it’s us that burned it because we fell on the floor and made love instead. I want handprints on car windows, steamed up from the inside. I want long baths followed by short showers and the scent of your shampoo staining my hands for the entire day to follow. I want ears that hear the words I spill instead of eyes that read them. I want notebooks black with ink from all the details I noticed from all the times I sat and marveled at the way you spin through an hour.”
