When you look at me

When I cry do you see my tears and pain
When I smile do you see my joy and happiness
When I frown do you see my anger and sorrow
When I laugh do you see my zest for life

When you look at me do you see me?

Expressionless Love.

Would you tell a lie to get me to stay?
or
Would you tell the truth and let me leave?

The Gem meets Diamond in the Rough...

When the gem meets the diamond in the rough; is it just in passing for only a brief moment to admire each others worth?

Gem: Something prized especially for great beauty or perfection b: a highly prized or well-beloved person.

Diamond in the Rough: one having exceptional qualities or potential but lacking refinement or polish.

Do Something!

I saw a well dressed elderly man with a severe hunch back while eating lunch today.

And as he passed a child snickered but another onlooker interjected "don't laugh lad, that man can't straighten his back and if you're not careful it can be you in the future" the child's mother nodded in approval further explaining the man's condition to her children.

Oddly enough, this gentleman appeared to be suited for work: suitcase in hand and I couldn't help but ponder how some people with impeccable health won't even make an effort to work or do anything slightly constructive: to at least show their appreciation of the blessings which have been bestowed upon them.

I say to the well & healthy yet lazy; get up and do something with your life or your privileges may be taken due to lack of use...

More than Friends, Estelle

Wonder why, wonder why, wonder why
Why must we pretend
Why can't we be more than friends?
Let's be more than friends.

What are you afraid of?
We've been playing games love
Together we crazy, good I mean baby, so why you gotta change up?
Baby when we make love, in ways I never made loveFeels so real,
but something still is missing from the picture

Everywhere I go, people wanna know.
wonder where I been, what's the deal with him
Is y'all really cool, is he just a friend
Now I'm asking you, tell me what it is
Look me in my eye, you don't have to lie

Must think I'm a fool, f**king round with you
Need to give me proof
I need to hear the truth
I just got one question for you

[CHORUS:]Wonder why, wonder why, wonder why
Why must we pretend
Why can't we be more than friends?
Let's be more than friends.
Wonder why, wonder why, wonder why
Why must we pretend
Why can't we be more than friends?
Let's be more than friends.

I think you see me as your play thing
Your Friday to Sunday thing
I'm not your weekend love, your secret f**k,
brother I'm not playing

And if I wanted to be part time,
I'd be working at the check-out line
At the liquor store, the picture show,
let me give you piece of my mind

[RAP:]
Why don't you put your arms around me huh?
Acting different when your friends around
See nah, when we together we fire and no I never tell my friends your a friend
You're my guy we're together uh huh
Calling my phone about we needed a break
How we gonna break up when we ain't willing to date?
You say you want that real woman,
when you get her you run
How come I never met the family like your dad and your mum?
And I don't wanna hear it, stop being a bitch!
You making me respect you less,
I'm really starting to switch
You're saying that and this and your heart broken
Yeah, you sound like shit like you're taking a piss
Somebody wanna see ya chick,
ya see the problem with dis isI'm waiting in vain,
I'm waiting for you to change
We ain't kicking it No, we ain't chilling NO, we ain't doing a ting blood
I'm more like a full time thing
See fam you got your own sock drawer, you can call me much more
More then just your friend much, more than before
Don't play me like an extra, I got speaking roles
I am NOT that ho, I am so much more
I wonder why
[CHORUS]

[Speaking:]Don't act like I'm tryna press youIt's just you knowIt's obvious, it's all there, likeWhat you waiting for(why can't we be more than friends, let's be more than friends)Stop pretending(let's be more than friends, let's be more than friends)You know we more than friends, you know it's me and youC'mon, yeah, singHuh huh... huh huh... huh huh...

Pretty Wings by Maxwell

Time will bring the real end of our trial
One day there'll be no remnants
No trace no residual feelings within ya
One day you won't remember me.

Your face will be the reason I smile
But I will not see what I cannot have forever
I'll always love ya I hope you feel the same.

Oh, you played me dirty, your game was so bad
You toyed with my affliction Had to fill out my prescription
Found the remedy I had to set you free.

Away from me
To see clearly The way that love can be
When you are not with me
I had to leave, I had to live
I had to leave, I had to live

[Chrous]
If I can't have you let love set you free
To fly yo pretty wings around
Pretty wings, your pretty wings
Your Pretty wings. Pretty wings around.

I came wrong you were right
Transformed your love into a like
Baby believe me; I'm sorry I told you lies
I turned day into night
Sleep till I die a thousand times
I should have showed you
Better nights, better times, better days
As I miss you more and more

[Chorus]
If I can't have you let love set you free
To fly your pretty wings around
Pretty wings, your pretty wings, your Pretty wings,
Pretty wings around so Pretty wings, your pretty wings (x4)

My holiday was pleasant yet uneventful! I'm glad 2 hear u r having a great time!!!

About the txt/vm @ 11pm on Saturday: I don't think it's wise to get too friendly with a married man besides it always begins innocent but somehow things can get carried away. I hope u understand.

Enjoy the rest of your trip & be safe!!!!

Haven't heard from you Tiffany. How is your 4th coming along? I hope all is well.

I'm hooking up with family and having a good time here in Chicago. The fireworks last night were great! Hung out with some of my old friends from school last night. We tore down the joint lol!

You aren't big on replying to texts anymore. What's up?

Intangible

Please dont touch me

Just let me be
The sense of feeling
Only validates I'm a being
Confirms that I have emotions
When I prefer to be dry from the lack of lotion.
I don't want to show affection
I don't want to feel or love
I want to be left alone I don't need a hug

Please don't touch me

Tee (incomplete thought)
