Bye, Boo
You: “Hey there, Boo, what’s your name?
Can I get a number for you?
The way you working that lil’ outfit...
Making me hunger for you.
You got a man? No wait, don’t answer…
I don’t care about him…
Cuz once you see the way I get down,
You’ll forget about him.”
Me: “Let me tell you where you went wrong..
Damn, let’s see, where I start?
You came off way too strongly
And that alone ain’t very smart..
You asked me for my name; but seems
You made one up for me
Your reference to my body
Won’t interest me; but bore me
Not only that, you’re disrespectful..
Of both me and my man..
If you were him, how would you feel
About the comments at hand?
The worst is, there’s no mystery
No intrigue at all..
I know exactly what you want me for
You didn’t bother to stall
With your approach, there’s no conundrum
You’re straightforward, it’s true;
But imagine with me for a moment
That I’m your friend, and not your ‘Boo..’
We trade insider secrets
On the battle of the sexes,
Got hilarious inside jokes
For each one of all our exes,
You get to know my family
And they love you like their own
We hang out pretty often
When we’re not texting on the phone
You cook for me; I read to you
When days are bad for each,
Open each other’s mind to things…
We’re learning as we teach
I seek your insight first
Before I read others my rhymes
As days go by, we’re closer
Comforted through all bad times
Eventually, we get there
To that place of no return
No other place to go, but up
Our hearts begin to yearn
It’s love we’ve felt the whole time
It grew along with us
That long awaited conversation that
We’ve needed to discuss…
We’ve discovered that we’re soul mates
Only cuz we gave it time
May not have ever known it
And that would have been a crime
So.. tell me… what you really want?
To hit and call it quits?
Or, to build suspenseful climax
To a sweet and blissful kiss?
Wait.. Don’t answer that..
I think I know…
Impatient as you seem;
How about you just forget me?
Perhaps you’ll see me in a dream."
