Could it be you stayed away long?
Did I cross your mind when I was gone
Gotta be where you are
like some Michael JACKSON song
I thought we was 4ever…4ever ever
Like some OUTKAST
I remember the laugh...time is fading fast
Always chasing an image
Giving into your visions of what the time frame was
Caught up in the game of love
But not making love only making war
Continually storing my plans and placing them on bookshelves
As you hoarded the wealth with my youth
Never thought I’d be a product of abuse
But it’s not physical…rather whimsical
And emotional
I need to let this shit go
But the love we had…and have is so true
And you was my first
But sometimes the memories hurt
As I flirt with destiny…u gotta be
Cause I wanna be where you are
Where I wanna be you can’t
Now you want us to be…but it ain’t that easy
Now that you put that masculine pride on the shelf
With hypocrisy
And you need me
Finally seeing me
For what I am
But I can’t stand in one place…but each time I walk forward I trip
Each time I look back…my heart skips
But I gotta be
More than a trip on memory bliss
I want to be the first sign of morning dew on your lips
I want to feel the strength of protection with your arms on my hips
I want to be your wife, your life, your honey dip
Could it be I stayed away to long
Now you miss my love because I am gone.
It’s not my thing trying to get back.
But I gotta be where you at.
