Take A Second To Think...


Take a second to think...

...sometimes you need to take a second to think// Sit back, close your eyes like you're taking a second to blink// Let the words wet your pallet, like you're taking a second to drink// Wait a moment...in a second you'll think...

...what if we never met that special night  both bored on the net//we decided to chat// decided to see what was next// started to talk on the phone I remember the first time I heard your voice// Back then you were one of many, so your identity was lost// But you kept calling and we kept on talking// I knew you were something special, so I stopped all the stalling// You decided to come visit, didn't think you would make the trip// Surprised when I walked out the door, saw you hopping out of your whip// Sexy as hell the way those jeans were fitting your hips// A true beauty from your hair, to the gloss on your lips// We chilled and had fun, but you were gone in a few hours 2 days later, you came back in a few hours

Sometimes you need to take a second to think// Sit back, close your eyes, like you're taking a second to blink/ Let these words wet your pallet, like you're taking a second to drink// Wait a moment...and take another second to think...

...about how my hands felt on your back caressing your skin// Running my lips across your lips, neck, cheeks, and your chin// In my mind thinking, I can't believe I'm getting this blessing again// The luckiest man in the world is like "I got nothing on him"// But these days are gone//The distance between us is long// But through our conversations and love, the memories live on// We've had our ups and downs, I mean the best of us do// I'm the only man for you, not worried about the rest of them dudes// The females down here don't have to be detectives to get a clue// They're wasting their time, my heart and soul belongs to you// Now it took me a minute to realize that all I wanted was you/// But it only took my heart a second to know, I love you// Now take a second to think, are you feeling me too?// And if it took any longer then a second...take two

Sometimes you need to take a second to think// Sit back, close your eyes, like you're taking a second to blink// Let these words touch your soul, like we're taking a second to link// Wait a moment...and take another second to think.

The Pull Up

"The Pull Up"   The light from her phone illuminates the room; the shining indigo blue chases away the darkness and casts new shadows on her bedroom walls. She received a text message, and at 2:37am it had better be something or someone important. The text was from her new friend. The guy she recently met and started to get to know. Their meeting was strange to her as it seemed the universe was doing its best to bring them together. The text read "Wyd?" Smh, how generic, but for some reason it made her smile. She sarcastically texts back "I'm sleeping". "Well I'm outside" he replied. "Outside where?" she quickly typed back. "Outside ur crib, come here, I want to see u” he responded Her instant thought is this nigga is tripping, who does he think he is? Popping up at my crib at this hour, I'm going to curse him out because he's crossed the line. But when she peeked out of her window th

The Balance of Relationships: A Male Perspective

The Balance of Relationships: A Male Perspective             Growing up I have never seen a successful relationship. My mother got married, then divorced. My grandmother on my mother’s side divorced my grandfather, remarried, then ended up divorcing my “step” grandfather, is that a thing? My grandmother on my father’s side lived with a man all of my life. At no point in my life have I ever seen them be affectionate, or intimate, hell they were at the most cordial. They slept in separate rooms, she cooked and maintained the household, while he hung out, came home and ate. Even as a child I felt like their existence was miserable. If love conquers all, what was wrong with all of the relationships those in my immediate vicinity were involved in?             My family was one thing, but even further outside of my immediate circle things were worse. My friends’ parents were divorced, abused, neglected, dealing with infidelity, and abandoning their relationships like hurricane victims

#JustSaying Podcast

http://www.spreaker.com/show/2823220/episodes/feed This is the link to my podcast I run with my boy Hatin' Ass Jones. Tune in as we talk about everything under the sun. Straight barbershop talk for the masses. Listen, laugh, and hopefully learn something in the process. Fellas listen with your ladies or send them the link to let them know the things you wish you could say. Ladies tune in and get a glimpse into the male psyche. Fun for all adults, as the content is explicit. We don't censor ourselves in the barbershop so it isn't happening on the podcast. I appreciate your support. Please like, comment, and share.
