Lovely Bliss

When I tell you I love you, you never say a thing

You have no idea how much that scares me

See, most brothas’ don’t want a commitment

And us sistas’ we seem so down with it

And I just realized 

For the very first time

That all I ever wanted was a dude like you

Yeah, just like you

I tried to protest and stop this from happening

I even told you, now here I am again

I find you speaking to me at times

And yes I realize

That I am in a trance,

A deep dazed consciousness

And I’m thinking about this thing

And I’m wondering, are you at all in love with me

But perhaps since you’ve not said those words

In which I would never try to coerce

That you’re not in love with me at all

And we’re just friends and I’ve got a lot of gall

And a whole lot of nerve to ever even fall

Hopelessly and madly in love with you man

You see I’ve got a bunch of bags

Albeit, without your love I’m truly sad

However you’re cool to have around

So yes, I am one of those sistas’ that continues to be down

No commitment

I’m wit’ it

Just let me breathe your air

And occasionally into your eyes stare

And though you never say it’s with me that you’re in love

I often sit and ponder over whether or not those words will ever come

I used to have 99 problems and a dude wasn’t one

But since I met you, you’ve become most of ‘em

Damn, Why I gotta’ love, I wish I could only like

Be happy with the minimal and the sex all night

But that’s not the case and we’re dealing with reality

Though, the idea of you not being in love with me has got me feeling melancholy

So from here on out

I’ll keep my love in my mouth

Mind my L’s and my V’s 

And I’ll just have to sustain the lovely bliss of being in love with me.
