Elegance

I wanted you all to myself. A downfall in itself. The moments you were gone felt like an eternity. But when you came back your love nourished me. Yeah I had to grow and so did you. Now that you're gone its like a bad tattoo. I wish I never had it or I could do it over. I imagine my arms once more around your shoulder. And my fingers running down your spine. And all the times you used to cry. Whether I was the cause or not. I hated to see you that way I just wanted you would stop. Your smile was everything. An ounce of greatness mixed with a pound of elegence. You the bio major tell me when those two mix what do you get. You of course and that's just it. That's why I'm writing this now cause myself I can't forgive. You doin your thing and I respect that. Just wondering if the love will ever come back.

Repetition

There you go again. Got me shaking my head... there you go again. Conforming to this life of sin. You're not the same one I remember from way back when. When you fell asleep at nine o'clock just to wake up at six and go hard all day non stop. I admired from a distance just giving you props. I used to think you wanted to reach the top. Hey, things change. And you're insane if you remain the same. I understand you have to play the game, but all so you don't have to bear the pain? I still recall the way you said my name. I'm still ashamed. Yeah, I'm still ashamed. Cause no amount of success would alleviate the days we put to waste. As the sun sets and the clouds pass its you on my mind. The wind blows, the leaves fall and I'm out of time. Take a shot, how bout nine? Here's a shot, how bout nine? Remember when you were mine? Or are those memories to hard find? One more shot, there goes nine. We became strangers last month but I guess it's fine.  

Another's treasure

I've encountered many different women. But you're the one I give the most feelins'. And I'm sorry I truly do apologize. Things could get slippery like a slip n slide. But your beauty gives me plenty reason to be alive. I wish you were forever mine, but livin' in these times is a world of demise. Breeding honesty should be the first task. Cause no trust means it won't last. And then we'll be back in the trash. End up being another's treasure. Being held by another in the cold weather. But regret sets in cause your warmth.. honestly I thought there was no better. So lets change hopefully to never. Cause I never want to be without you. The one person that remained true.

Red light

I'm stuck on red. Waiting for the light to change. And see its all a shame.
Cause if I'm here any longer my feelings will remain the same.
And all I need to do is move on. I need that green light, John legend said it right. I'm held back by fear.
Reminiscing about the past year.
I'd run the light, but the traffic isn't clear.
But if I'm idle any longer I'll have to take my chances. I hope my prayers are granted.
I was fallen hard but thank God I landed.
You saw my wounds and I saw yours.
We made love and made war. I wiped the tears from your face and you made my heart warm. It used to be so sore. But I see the green at long last. A few more seconds I would of been trapped. Now I'm in the slow lane with no brakes moving too fast. An accident waiting to happen. But I'll avoid anything tragic. You need to see me become who I'd said I be. Sincerely yours, thanks for everything.

Origami

Wearing my heart on my sleeve like its a fashion statement. Steady avoiding all the hatred and discrimination. Reason why I don't say sh**. But I'll open up to you like origami. Wondering why cupid shot me. But clearly you were struck as well. Feelings gettin' stronger if you couldn't tell. I can be that person you vent to. I'll be sure to tell you I always miss you. And you'll always know it's real when I kiss you. I got two shoulders for you to cry on. But your tears shouldn't last long. Cause I can easily make the pain gone. I'm tryna be the flower that grew from the concrete. I'm starting to see life thanks to your watering. I pray for better days and as I wait it's nothing but a victory with you next to me. Your beauty seems to perplex me. Cause i can't determine if it's treachery or truly unique. Either way I know I gotta do the right thing.

San Jose pt 2

It's not often people meet someone like you.
You're so refreshing, beautiful and new.
From time to time, I may get lost or mesmerized, on how you make me feel.
You're one of kind, with an elegant mind, this is so surreal.
If I ever have a daughter better believe you're the blueprint. 
Her smile like yours, so bright, it'll make you have to squint.
You're an Angel walking this earth. The people you've impacted have been blessed since your birth. I really can't describe what's going on at all. I just know I don't want us to fall. I'm content with the summer all year long.
I can handle the Heat, just like that Spurs team.
I stay humble like Timmy D.
Added to the fact your presence puts me at peace. A divine intervention that we got the chance to meet. Was it for a season or a reason? It has to be the latter.
I see it clearly like a lens crafter.
You bring joy with just your laughter. And make all my worries not matter

God's Work

I know, I know. Only God could construct someone like you. With you by my side the possibilities are endless of what I might do. Got my hands up like I'm yelling don't shoot. I'm just praising the Lord cause my Cheri amore is someone I so heavily adore. I'm never losing so I don't need to check the score. I got many reasons to feel this way should I reveal more? Affection just know I got that. Caring for you no I won't stop that. You're a young queen and it's only right you're treated as such. And although I'm not around or see you that much. It's always your beauty that I'm thinking of. You epitomize grace, you define strength. And your smile good Lord, it makes my heart pace. I breathe passionate sighs before I rest at night. Because it's another day closer to havin you by my side.

**** Interlude

I told her I need to come to the city before she leaves, she said yeah cause its you I need to see. I'm thinking of all the possibilities or you in that maxi, me in my black tee. That smile when you're laughing. I'm grateful that you aint similar to the other chicks that I used to mess with. Cause you aint the type to just fall in lust with. Get rid of that u-s-t add the o-v-e. Ha.. Well maybe, we'll see. As the wheels turn on this gradually, we went from a 180 to 360 that's a full turn around. Went from fitted caps to some crowns. Lounging round downtown. I could walk with you for a thousand miles. We aint got limitations. Where ever you wanna go we can take it. I'll take ya mind off any situation. Take you on a new vacation. Girl what are they sayin? If it ain't positive take them off the playlist. We don't wanna hear it no more. We don't wanna hear the final score. We still playing - the sidelines was always a bore. Right now I just wanna hear how you sound behind closed doors. And you know how that go girl

Warm enough

This view just got me thinking of you. You probably don't care but whatever. I'm standing in a garden under beautiful weather. I thank the Lord I met her. I'm climbing the pedestal. Just to get to you. Along the way tightening up the loose screws. I don't wanna be cool. I just wanna be me with you. I don't wanna be a fool. I'd rather be in school. And take women studies to learn the truth. Of what you really go thru. Cmon now you gotta understand this. I never meant for or planned this. Any hard feelings can we let them blow with the wind. Press restart and begin again. It takes one good time to eliminate any negative memories. But if you ain't about all that I just pray that you remember me. I know you was really feelin me. Those feelings just up and disappeared I see. Keep it lit. Ain't no other dude gon be as trill as this.

San Jose

You are a treasure, very clever. These other ones are fools gold. You and I both know you headed to the top of the totem poll. I can see it in you, you got goals. And pressure ain't enough to make you fold. You would need a shift at abricombi and Fitch. I think I'm dreamin' I need a pinch. Your smile defines exuberance. When you walk in the room it's illuminated. Please understand what I'm sayin. I done seen other dudes start prayin'. Just to be around a woman like you. Your positivity soars high like kites do. But for you, it's more like the NBA team in Houston. Takin me higher and higher just cruisin. You are well appreciated. And that's a fact not to be debated. If men and women lie why is your beauty the truth? You got the formula or better yet the Juice. I surrender I surrender. You alone are the mighty winner, fine like the ice in the winter. I can't describe this so go figure. And once you find the solution. Ill be your number one student.

I do.

Me holding you, just close your eyes and imagine. Go ahead and feel the magic. And don't try and mask it. You make me feel so amazing. You're the only one I'm craving. We both got dreams and I know we'll make it. Every morning I wake up and start praying. I asked that my loved ones be blessed so that includes you. I love it when you're happy I promise I do. Like a bride and groom, you get it; I do? But every moment you're on my mind, I just have to think about how we intertwine. Like your leg on top of mine when we cuddle in the night. When you need me you know I'll hold you tight. When it gets dark you know I'll be your light.

Hello beautiful

Hi. Or rather hello beautiful. That's more fittin' right?
You know your smile glistens right?
OK alright I'll let you breathe.
You got the buzz of a million bees.
Sweeter than all that honey. Hotter than the middle East when its sunny. Priceless so you can't be bought with money. Have you caught your breath yet? Prepared for what's next? You so right I never go left. You got my imagination going wild. Like having a daughter with you would mean one amazing child. Or maybe we could go fly thru the clouds. Live up there and never come down. OK back to reality. My mind says thanks for having me. Cause this is what goes on in my head.
Real soothing before I go to bed.
Therapeutic almost like the right med.
Have you looked in the mirror lately? Now you can call me crazy. But if you don't think you're the most gorgeous thing you've seen, then allow me to boost your self-esteem. reread the first five words please .
