In a city full of people and I still feel lonely... lonely without you.

So the spliff is lit and starting to hit... it’s the only thing that gives me patience on nights like this. Street light vibes on the brownstone stoops as 12 rides by. I miss him, it’s been hard to admit these days. Seeing as though we haven’t communicated in the past 10 days. I’m losing my patience... I inhale this California dream but the exhale is my Harlem reality... empty

“Now you're realizin when the nights go long right?

Campaign for me stay when you know that I'm gone right?

You act all wild when I tell you to settle

I was workin round the clock but your girls wanna meddle

Talkin bout, "I heard he swims with this chick on the beach."

That was out with the tide but my love you impeached

Now you lookin at the walls head in hand cold Jonezin

Ringin my house, hangin up, and then posin

Now why you wanna go and do that love huh?”

- Q-Tip

Dancin on the floor

Feelin the slow groove

My mind is startin to burn

With forbidden thoughts

Strangers all around

With the lights down low

I was thinkin' maybe we could

Well... you know

First time that I saw you boy

It was a warm and sunny day

All I know is I wanted you

I really hoped you looked my way

When you smiled at me

So warm and sweet

I could not speak

You make me feel like a itty-bitty girl

What do you do to me

- Erykah Badu

Your heart is like liquid sunsets♥️

Promises I know I made many times before

And I broke each one of them

But I had to learn over and over again

Don't hurt the one you love...

I adore mi amor I’m sorry baby but I got to go,

I hate to leave... leave you alone but by

tomorrow I’ll be gone.

I’ll be back soon one day and every night

for you I’ll pray.

That you will forever be in my arms, til I

return we’ll never part...

I’m lost in this city without you...

You weren't the boy I thought I knew

Maybe I was blind, I was young, I didn't have a clue

You were the topic of my lunch times

I'd bore the girls about our chance

And get upset when you didn't text back

I was warned by my brothers to find another lover

Stop falling for these boys who didn't want the same as me

And I was warned by my brothers to find another lover

Stop falling for these boys who didn't want the same as me

We all want a teenage fantasy

Want it when we can't have it

When we got it we don't seem to want it

We all want a teenage fantasy

Want it when we can't have it

When we got it we don't seem to want it

It was always in the back of my head thoughts telling me if this is the house that love is in let me leave because I don’t wanna be hurt like my past has hurt me again. Dreams were advertised making them seem so appeasing but I’m glad I kept my priceless heart and didn’t purchase. I’m still window shopping but I’ve decided to continue to save until the right investment comes along. Can’t flex I wish I had a 90 day warranty, that way when things broke after 30 I couldve collected my refund. But I tried and tried to fix it when I should’ve returned it to the universe and got my replacement.

“He says ever since the break up he wakes up hating me some mornings just knowing I won’t allow myself to love him anymore. He just doesn’t know the consequences I face by choosing me over us is more than just internal heart ache and pain… I’m hurting more than my silent mouth will allow me to tell”

The kiss in the rain was heart felt made me gain a great security,

But the jealousy and lies made me gain some insecurities.

Apologies were thrown felt its to be apart,

Now after all these years im hearing footsteps in the dark.

‘I keep hearing footsteps baby in the dark... in the dark... ohh why I keep hearing footsteps baby in the dark... in the dark...

Lets stop humping around where's there love there lost to be found. You know I still care, still care'

Spanish Harlem Nights 101 St 1st Ave… Remember this night. We stood roof top hand in hand face to face with our eyes locked in on each other. On this night you tried to reason with me why I shouldn’t return to the place that only filled me with agony and grief and on this night I should’ve listened to my only shoulder I’ve ever had to cry on and I regret that I didn’t. I remember your words so clear, I mean how could I forget you left duplicates of them scattered all around this roof top. ‘I’m empty out here without you’ is the phrase that lingers yet clings to my soul and I drop just one single tear because I promised I’ll always return and always come back to you. You asked ‘what’s so important there that’s keeping you from being here with me’ I couldn’t reply because that would imply I had an answer and truth is I didn’t. I honestly didn’t and it could be because being back here with you was my escape and nothing or no one was gone take away this moment so I captured it and held in this moment of time. Your hand wiped the single tear from my face and you took off your Mitchell and Ness Hardwood Classics Crooklyn Spike Lee Edition Jacket and covered my bare shoulders with it, I guess you could still sense when I was in need of something and things haven’t changed… I truly adore this about you. You never flaked or switched up on me, on us. I looked into your eyes and saw such openness in them and you stroke my hair kissing me gently on my forehead ‘I love you’ you said and in return I kissed you on your left cheek pulling you close and holding you for what seemed like forever uttering the words back. Paradise when we’re together was a true understatement. No one will ever understand our bond and that’s OK because I don’t want them too. It’s sacred and it’s ours and Im never gonna share. Just hold me close, hold me tight because you make all my sorrows cease. You make my heart smile and my soul warm. Can we just stay here and just forget the world… or at least until my flight departs tomorrow morning… Damn

Those lonely nights and the heartache. Tears spilling on silk pillow cases releasing you but leaving traces of you at the same time...
