No More Long Ago
Tamia told me there was a stranger in her house. It took her awhile to figure out that it was her king-papa, Dr. Love. Her man can cure some of everything; he can make you well again. There’s no need for her to eat an apple every day; Dr. Love is very notorious for taking pain away, especially Tamia. Tamia was in another relationship long ago with a man who so happened to be a doctor. It was not a good experience for her. He used and abused her; belittled her and she had to endure several years of counseling as a result of her choices with him; yes he was a ruffneck. Tamia needed a major operation and Dr. Love took her in as his patient. God sent Tamia an angel (Dr. Love) and he knocked all her walls down with his flaming hot potion of unconditional love.
I understand why she calls him Dr. Love! Incidentally, his real name is Tony Love. I tried my best to listen, to the song in Tamia heart; a melody she started but she couldn’t complete because I kept on interrupting her as she attempted to tell me why she had mind blowing decisions about discontinuing her relationship with Dr. Love. Tamia says Dr. Love acts like a stranger in her house; she doesn’t know who he is anymore is what she claims. I thought to myself, there’s no way Dr. Love could be who she said he was. Tamia had to be talking about someone else because Dr. Love proudly professes Tamia is a “Bad Mama Jamma” just as fine as she could be consistently to her friends and family.
I hang out with Tamia and Dr. Love all the time. I have heard him saying and doing the sweetest things for her. I once witnessed Dr. Love watching Tamia sleeping as she took a nap. Dr. Love is like the sweetest thing I've ever known for Tamia. She is so blessed. When we have holiday parties Dr. Love always divulgates his love for her; telling us Tamia is beautiful and he wants everyone to know she is his favorite girl. If there are any new male faces in the audience the men know not to come up to Tamia; Dr. Love makes it known she is his girl. I get so weak in the knees I can hardly speak, I lose all control then something takes over me as I am united in excitement when I think about how amazing their love is; yes it’s so amazing, amazing that God brought them together forever; I pray, Dr. Love will leave Tamia never ever because they’ve got such an amazing love.
I often wish upon a star to have a praying spirit throughout the day so the kind of love Tamia and Dr. Love have can always remain the same. I tell them (especially Tamia) not to change; to stay as sweet as they are as a couple. Tamia states she won’t run from Dr. Love; she knows he has so much love for her! She says if she walks away it would not be fair to him. You know I agreed! I was like girl keep him in mind, don’t throw it all away. She is determined to fight for her love. Dr. Love is the reason why Tamia face is recurrently glowing. Unfortunately, there always seems to be something in the past that won’t let them last; trying it’s BEST to use Tamia issues of her past to take it out on Dr. Love; however, they are victorious in their ridiculous love; nothing can conquer them.
