In the beginning
I couldn't believe the dream
She sweetened my world like strawberries and creme
Imparting the style to win my heart
Stinging me with "that thing" to make me not part
Damn, I used to love her!
Wined her, dined her
Made her my life
Sucked her, fucked her
CONTRACEPTIVE! I didn't think twice
Opened her world, allowed her to be free
Only to later see how she was playing me
Damn, I used to love her!
As long as I gave, she would damn sure take
Yet and still, she hated when I called her fake
Now she's on dude's cause "dyking aint right"
Then why come to my bed after the club on Saturday night
I try to distance myself, not call her for weeks
Her persistence pays off cause eventually we speak
Damn, I used to love her!
All the passion that I once felt escapes from my core
that heartfelt place of her I used to adore
Don't get me wrong I'm not mad about anything
I still love her and realize people change
I just wanted to reflect in this poem
what I thought was loving was obviously unknowing
It must not have been for me to foresee
the type of friend she'd eventually be
Damn, I really used to love her
And thought she loved me.
