Be Like


I be feelin like

When I think about you,

You be thinkin bout me too.

You can say what you want but ain't nothin felt more real than what we felt lookin into each other.

And when you come back, you can act like we was nothin and ill probably reciprocate those

actions.

But the fact is that you can't lie about our physical and mental attraction

And the limitless traction in what was the fluidity of time in our actions.

Don't lie to me

Cus had there been no restrictions, you wouldn't have felt the friction you had with ur desires and

wishes And the afflictions of ur selfishness and carelessness.

I can't blame you for doing what makes you happy

But sadly it came at the expense of the affection that I needed so badly.

And it ain't ur fault honestly cus I shoulda known what I was gettin myself into.

Should've modestly moderated my desires considering all the bullshit I been through.

But I indulged in the novelty of this newfound possibility, unconsciously letting my attraction foster

in this duo of godforsaken oddity.

Even I was awed by me.

Willing to invest in things considered romantic commodities just to feel some typa normalcy and

kinda familiar just be in emotional harmony.

And for once I didn't feel complete autonomy yet ironically it made me feel the most...free.

So maybe that's why I wear my heart on my sleeve because I have this belief that if you live the

way you feel, you'll never owe a single apology.

I'm jus sayin what's real and this is how I feel.

So no, I'm not sorry.
