Love Responsibly

True Love

First time we connected I felt at ease

Like we had a mutual understanding 

Like I can really relate to you

Life made sense and nothing mattered

Everything I needed and then some

All I wanted was what was best for me

And I believed I found that in you

But now I stand corrected

Nothing is the same anymore

Communication don't exist anymore

Love making is a lost artform

Body heat never felt so cold

Your embrace reminds me of the other side of a pillow

And it scares me so

Your interest seems to reside elsewhere

Because love doesn't live here anymore

Not like it used to

Not like the first time we made that connection

Not like the first time we had an understanding

Not like the first time we made a commitment

I was so young, naive, and inexperienced then

What I wouldn...

Moving On

Here we are again

Many moons ago have eclipsed

Interrupting the glow

Casted upon the darkest corners

Hidden is the luxury

Of the sweetest memories possible

Your alias your ideals

Similar to when we first met

We were strangers then

And we're strangers now

And I find that very strange

Quite peculiar

An oddity for real

Skeptical about do overs

No drawing board to go back to

I refuse to start over

Or travel in reverse

Like time itself

I wait for no one

Why wait for change?

Change is waiting on me

I don't wanna keep it waiting

Procrastinating

Delaying the day

I at last move on

With my life

Love Responsibly

Shook and rolled the dice

I'm not usually a gambling man

But still I took the risk

Like the ball in a roulette wheel

I keep going round and round

Spinning, turning, and coming up short

The house always wins

The love game's been rigged

So caught up in love's allure

Everything seemed so sure

Pure clean innocent fun

Turned into bizarre guilty pleasures

Selfish desires

Unnecessary wants

An addiction of sorts
