Layla's Thoughts:
We've never made love in a dark room, because we found love in the light.
There were days I never thought we'd get back to this.
I've missed the scent of your rebel soul
and how it conflicted with my conforming ways.
But that's just how I function these days
That's how I was raised
and how the the bills get paid.
After a day of evil encounters with -isms
and closet gossip about my walk, my skin, my hair
... I want to come to a honest home.
Who else could I just stare at for hours, just like this?
I lock eyes with you and you know from the jump what I want.
Not reading my mind, but just knowing me well enough.
Layla's Thoughts:
And I know about Stacy ...
that temptress who arose your temptation knowing you got a thing for loc heads.
I also know you you tried reducing the seducing but just never told her to stop.
It's okay, that situation was handled ... last night when she was bumpin' her gums and got got popped.
Your are mine and I, yours.
I don't have the energy to look for another one of these energies, so what I have is what I have... and I'm keeping it.
Lupus has given me a countdown.
I don't know how much longer I'll be on this Earth,
but I chose to spend the rest of it with you,
'cause I know you well enough.
You fuck up, but you mean well.
