Take It Slow

Speaking and living off experience, 
what I've experienced goes against 
what I know, like I should take it 
slow, slow down my emotions I'm 
soaking in love because I love that 
feeling, but the cards I been dealing 
is sort of like the cards I been dealt. 
I sink head first instead of just 
taking it slow, so I end up with a lot 
of deleted numbers, text messages, 
and burned pictures Yeah I'm filled 
with love but still I'm drowning in 
this pitcher I drink from. Painting 
perfect pictures with my imperfect 
hands, Yeah I what this and I really 
need that look at my check list can I 
really give it back. I'll admit it 
sometimes I'm double minded but I 
put away those thoughts like never 
mind it, trying to align it with what I 
would like to call Ms. Right, there's 
no such thing most people change 
overnight, so in light of my new 
discovery having the rug pulled right 
from under me I hate this feeling so 
I go back to the drawing board, 
write a new blueprint that's fits me 
fundamentally and hopefully to find 
someone that I'm mentally 
spiritually & emotionally compatible 
with, story of my life right I guess I'll 
just dismantle it again. There's no 
rush I know chalk it up to me always 
getting so caught up ready to give 
my all it's amazing this heart of 
mine isn't tore up, but I guess with 
every short story I have more to tell 
than actually show, it's hard to take 
your own advice sometimes, but I 
gotta stay meek with the next one 
and just take it slow.
