th3 word iS: “no”...

you have me under your spell

can’t you tell?

i know i can’t have you

but i mean well...

you give me a familiar stare 

like i’m realizing the greatest thing that was always there

right be4 my eyes 

through your eyes

i could confide

you are a safe haven 

even though they abused you with their lies

i could repair those damaged areas

if you’d just confide... 

i look into your eyes 

and i see a woman who desires to be explored

not in any ordinary way

not just in her curves 

but within her words

her actions

her values

the things she doesn’t say

her hopes

her traumas 

her fears 

her dreams...

you are a dream

nothing you are is make believe...

i want you in every way that’s tangible

i’m tired of make believe...

you perceive my thoughts before i even speak

i need a woman like you within my reach

i see the sight of your skin glowing with all of that melanin

and it puts me right at ease 

i know you carry a lot of weight and expectations on your shoulders

you need some relief

better yet i could be that for you

you might even deserve me...

i can’t help but to wonder about the wandering you do underneath those glasses 

i bet your mind travels far

and you lose track of all of the time that passes...

but i know losing you would be more tragic

your smile reminds me of the moonlight

brightening up my darkest days with ease

i can’t look at you too long 

without losing control of my body

before my breath leaves... 

this is what you do to me...

you shine brightly in your aura 

you are all that you are

i’d be a fool to not run after your love

whether it be near or far

i know you have a pure heart... 

could you blame me for wanting a taste?

you are a mystery i want to dismantle in and never escape... 

you have me under your spell

can’t you tell?

i know i can’t have you

but i mean well...

what you mean i can’t have you?
