i didn't wanna go
on my exodus, i was walking slow
in awe, how you're drenched in sexiness
& how your necklace, dances across your collarbone
or how naked your nape is
stretching up to your bun
with your shoulders aching
anticipating my fingers… like, "a massage'd be fun…”
only when i leave, i awaken
after we've hugged like an apron
damn it ma, you're the one
i wanna take on vacations
& share my turkey bacon
go splash water in my face & shake it
as Badu's, "Next Lifetime's" on repeat
managing my expectations
seeing you, from day to nighttime, i'm complete
like when i see you see me, my heart skips a beat
cause when i see when you see me
your smile slides cheek to cheek
your eyes widen in size, smitten’ing me
till i’m mesmerized, then hypnotized, then traumatized
like pulling wisdom teeth
like, i’ma cry, like i’ma die… like, this isn’t me
like, i’m od’ing right now, out of my mind, in disbelief
or is this belief, convincing me
convinced it's all a dream
if so, pretty fuckin’ please... do not pinch me
let me fall asleep, on your breast
your nipple on my breath
every day of the week
pretty fuckin’ please
