Actor Boris Kodjoe wished his wife, actress Nicole Ari Parker, a happy 7th anniversary by penning the poem “The Seven Year Itch” for her, although the “itch” Kodjoe described in the poem had nothing to do with the desire to stray from his other half. Boris ends the poem, in which his “itch” is his desire to be with Nicole, with: “You’ve always been my itch.

Not for seven seconds.” Awwww”.... {Atlanta Blackstar}
