Goodbye's Mr. Intellectual, smooth and easy on the eye Never questioned where I went or left me wondering why held the doors, and was offended if I tried to pay my way Would choose the couch, rather than my bed if I told him he could stay Saw me in my uglies and loved me just the same always there in times of trouble to ease away the pain But.. he didn't stir my passions and truly that's a shame He's a wealthy eligible brother but its my flesh that was to blame You probably think I blew it and I admit he's very sweet But in order to get my lovin right, I knew I'd have to cheat Then there is the sexy, brooding lover who is wounded from his past The daylight finds him cold, aloof and acting like an ass But when the lights go out, he dares to drop his mask He's the undercover lover that can skillfully meet the task But then the moments over and I hurried to get away We couldn't hardly stand each other in the brightness of the day A mixture of emotions that bordered love and hate erected a wall that stood between us and we failed to communicate He did his thing and I did mine and ain't nobody mad We simply learned to take what's good and leave what's not for bad Then there are my faithful brothers, whose been there to see me through Who love me like a sister, and taught me a thing or two, We laugh, we talk, and hang out for awhile as true friends are apt to do no agendas, no sex, no motives, just hangin with the crew But there is an altogether Brother who is present on the scene He's got his act together and doesn't play the 'in-between' He has the pieces to my puzzle and the keys into my world He's the part that I've been missing and I've always been his girl. He's man enough to hold me, and in all reality Its me and him, that's all there is, For in Christ I've been set Free So if you don't see me awhile, don't think my love has shaken Its just that I'm preoccupied, my quality time is taken Peace! ©Lisa Lawrence-Hudson aka RawEssence, March-2002 All Rights Reserved
