Summer

What is your favorite season of year? Why?

Now that it’s summer

I’m looking for you

Thought I found you on social media

Way back when

Thought I found you in church

Singing sweet and low the souls gospel hymn

Thought I found you in hip hop

A dope rhyme, boom bap, Ellington on keys.

Thought I find you in a club, gym or speakeasy

A meet cute so serendipitous it’d hurt your tooth

And now that it’s summer

Hoping you find me.

Me

What sacrifices have you made in life?

I don’t have to sacrifice myself

to love someone else.

Especially when they wouldn’t do the same for…

Me.

So now I look out for…

Me.

With the hopes that it’s what’s best for them,

Because I caught the vibe that they took me for someone else.

That person they betrayed

twisted lies with memorized verses

A victim of their own circumstances,

The sum of all the bullshit they put together,

I realize more than ever

To do what’s best for…

Me.

With hopes that they

Would never be left in the rain,

like…

Me.

List your top 5 favorite fruits.

pining for you since we first met

ignited a flame in me I can’t forget

noticing the pull, your sudden appearance

Affectatious attraction and passion unparalleled

distant when entered your orbit

anticipating the moment when i see you again

pleading with a healing heart

pulling on that string

leading me slowly into your

embrace.
