Take the L. Take the loss.
But you must learn, my brother.
See I’m not the man I used to be, lady. Just the other day, I sat staring into the eyes of the brother to my soul’s star and I figured that right there, for that time and within that moment, I was complete man.
When she leaned over and kissed me on the cheek? It was like the earth had no matter. I lost all confusion and for a brief moment, I heard the chorus in the song, I felt the movement of the tectonic plates and I felt the change, in the weather.
I could feel that I was no longer an icicle in the sunshine. I felt the pull of gravity. I cannot deny that or defy it, it was the movement of my soul’s desire there, to meet and greet the other, seated in front of me, to shower with heavenly kisses.
Am I dreaming again?, is this happening again?. I’ve moved from emptiness to everything, have I messed up? And this is the life I want, right?
See, when you wake up from a deep slumber, do you feel the consciousness of your reality? Can you reconnect the dots? I ask. Can we touch the sky?
Common preaches to me. He be like, love is out there and everywhere man, its right in front of you, he says. I read it on the melody, that loving you is loving me. I understand that man.
See I was told that as a man you gotta hold it within, or it becomes a weakness. But I cant bottle these things that Drake sings about on the B side of Scorpion.
But then I think, that if I did, if I bottled this, I would sacrifice and lose myself into the trap that is the maze of the reality that is in my past.
I’m a dreamer you see, but I wake up to the reality that is everyday. Like everybody else, I have to hustle for my little people, to feed them, free them in the economics and see them grow up, with more than I was given.
But when my daughter asks one day, I want to be there when she’s asking questions like, "yeah, daddy,so whats this thing called love?" and I’ll sit back, steamy up a bit and be like, "love grows within, it defines your true self. It is what happens when you meet the brother to your soul, your soul’s star, and then it becomes your happiness."
Do you feel me?
