Took me some time to accept you
Took me some time to appreciate you
But my whole entire existence is surrounded by you
I get out the shower
Curls wet

Step #1. Take an old, raggedy *** t-shirt or a microfiber towel and damp the curls semi-dry

Step #2. Take a detangle brush, start from the ends of your hair and comb up to the roots of your hair  

Took me some time to learn you, how to care for you

Step #3. Take a small comb and part your hair down the middle, which will expose your scalp

Step #4. Take some oil and oil the curls, massage the oil into  your scalp

I was once told you’re all I got, got a pretty face but with you, I’m on top of the list
Strangers telling me not to cut you off
You make me different, worth loving

Step #5. Take some hair moose and comb it through your hair

Step #6. Take some hair honey or some leave in conditioner and comb that through, too

Step #7. Then, take some hair gel and scrunch it up in your hair so it can make the curls pop

I question, if I ever leave you, would I still be desirable?
Would I be worth every compliment I was ever given, even as a child?

Step #8.  Take the old t-shirt and scrunch the ends of the curls and from there, you can air dry or use a diffuser

How come I take care of you but you don’t take care of me?
Repeating affirmations on how much I love you
Women comb their fingers through you, wishing they had you
Men telling me I’m attractive, all while staring you up and down, with a slick smile on their face
Took me some time to know that you are not me
Still have time to understand that I don’t need you
Careful with my words cause the universe likes to prove people wrong but how come my existence is revolved around you?
How come I understood self-love through you, even though you never taught me how to love myself without you?

You’ve made me numb to real love

Leave me by, I say
You abandoned me
Told me you'll never would
What changed your perception of me?

You abandoned me
If you would've given the time
My anger would've subsided
Would have changed myself for you

If you would've given the time
I wouldn't have been your broken project
Taken me seriously, describing me with more words than just easy
Would've meant it when you told me you'll never ghost me

There’s more to you than just beauty
You’re worth than so much more
Life is going to treat you well
Be prepared for it, misery doesn’t last long

I’ve known you for some time
Everybody around me knows your name
Don’t hide my emotions about you
Smiling whenever I hear your name
This introduction of you is something new
I wanted to see you
Made it clear as day
You came over
Introduced me to a new world
I know you
I’m comfortable
When the time comes of me saying goodbye to you
I don’t think I’m going to make it
I’m weary we won’t talk again
Gave you my body, know you’re satisfied with my decision
This introduction of you is something new
But you warned me, a couple years ago
I didn’t listen
Now, I’m writing you a whole *** book
For you to understand me and embrace this new side of me

I never told you this before, but you are worthy
I love you. I love you even after the world ends
I love you even after God calls you home
I love you and I’ll continue to find you in different lifetimes
I love you. I love you. I love you
We’re going through this life together and even though we’re scared as hell, I know we’ll have each other
Because your love is that strong to me, I can't imagine being somebody else in this lifetime
