Not a Mistake

There is times I wish we could’ve fixed this mess.

Times when life seemed perfect with you.

Now the numbers have changed on our digital clock and you are no longer mine.

I used to cry all the time praying my heart would agree with my logical mind

yet I have thoughts of being with you come back all the time.

Time.

Funny how I dream to eliminate our last date

yet I can’t shake the emotions that put me into this love/hate relations-

Ship me in a box to far away places so my thoughts can travel beyond me and you.

Seems like I thought I was over you yet the thought of you loving another kills my pride so much animosity that I try hard to hide.

Foolish right?

I’ve moved on but still expect you to be by my side.

Crazy pride.

Can’t have a man and have the other hanging on my side.

Remember the ride?

That roller-coaster of a dream yet it was the reality of us together.

You’d say you love me but show me never.

*** wasn’t a factor

yet I wonder if it would’ve changed the miserable life I live thinking about some other chick housing your kids.

Don’t read too much into this because I don’t want to birth his offspring

I just want us to some how fix things.

Crazy how love rang when while I ignored the logic of staying alone

being with you I strived to focus on other things.

I hate this past love yet I can’t label it a mistake

because without you I’d still want to be the thugs wife

while praying to God to bring them back safe.

My time was *****

yet I repeat again

we were no mistake.
