i was the only car on the highway
we agreed to meet at ten
i called just to make sure
you stated you would call me right back
something in my spirit stated to go back
yet i kept on going
I'd arrived setting up, preparing to talk on our next move
I was a bit early, but it made me sick having to wait for you
I called a friend to debate my issues
only to have her agree and say, “Honey it’s on you.”
i packed silently, not even calling to let you know I was leaving
I needed a good plan to get outta this mess
doing it With you was not going to give me rest
it was nearing 10:05 when I walked outside
I was praying to God I wouldn't run into you given the time
I seemed to be driving slower going home
lost in thought...asking God what I was to do
I got home feeling so down and blue
i began pacing the halls, making calls
seeing what plans I could make, if any at all
hours passed and it was nearing another day
I couldn't awaken things being the same
my instincts pushed me to my car
one side of me said to just take a drive
while the other said it was time to fight
i drove directly to you...
saying a prayer to be delivered
it phased me not that you weren't there
it made it easier to stake my claim
not have to argue and fight like we'd done so many times before
leaving my keys and locking myself out your door
the adrenaline rush was such a relief
i immediately began feeling new
this was my day one of forgetting you
it took you two days to realize what had happened
further telling me i was never in your forefront
a simple text of where the hell i was at
Lawd can I have my importance
this ain't the way to work thru anything
i pick up the phone and call you
tell you what i was about to do
how i wasn't coming back to yo front door
telling you not to call me no mor
what happened you ask
my response
man...you decided to text
