Truly Love

Truly Love:

At first you are a friend,
funny, unique and content.

Then our friendship evolves,
to a level where your manhood enters my walls.

You say to me "You are my one and only",
then I find out you rarely spend your nights lonely.

It is revealed you have been given the blessing of new life,
I hang my head in shame, Shit I thought I was your wife.

We part ways and you become a family man,
I begin the process of reinventing myself as the single woman.

Somehow we reconnect and realize it is truly love,
as we return to doing the freaky things we never got enough of.

Yet, you return to her every night with thoughts of me,
as I lay in my bed lonely and cry myself to sleep.

I wake up one morning and realize, I am the fool,
I give you an ultimatum, hoping and praying you won't refuse.

You think long and hard about making me your one and only lady,
"Eureka" he finds a way to be with me and still be a father to his baby.

We get an apartment together and say "It is truly love."
We bless the entire house using everything but the stove.

Time goes by and our love is strong,
but something in my gut tells me something is very wrong.

It is revealed you are with her when you are not with me,
and it is not to be around the baby.

We part ways again, knowing this may be the very end
of a true love situation between two friends.

You continue the charade of family man knowing deep down you want me,
you come back crying, to my surprise, begging and pleading for me.

You shout "I have turned over a new leaf",
Although my heart hurts it is such a relief.

Now here we stand six years later, Your BM hates on us from afar,
A love so strong I don't think anyone can tear us apart.

Rumors spread the area like roaches in the night,
you BM is working hard to conjur up a fight.

Prank calls to my home and my cell,
this bitch gonna have me end up in jail!

You make up excuses to justify her actions,
hold on, let me get the camcorder and pom-poms, ACTION!

You say I'm looking for trouble when I respond to her stupid ass,
I should just ignore and avoid problems, "have some class."

You feel if we fight she will take your baby away,
you shouldn't have had a baby with her ugly ass no way!

You let her walk over you using the baby as a pawn,
so I'm supposed to get disrespected by her from now on.

I know one day we will touch gloves and it will be a sight to see,
I don't care if she do take the baby away, she ain't gonna play me!

I know you say you will leave me if that happens,
but I can accept the consequences of my actions

You know I love you, and I always will,
and if it is true love, we will make it past hell.

So I sit around waiting on the day, that your two worlds collide,
hoping and praying I see you on the other side.

For this is truly love....right?
