Book preview

*A Jockstar*

I come from women of elegance

I’ve been blessed with beauty and intelligence

I’m grateful to have been blessed with a love that was truly heaven sent

My love for my family is a force to be reckoned with

I will protect and nurture that is in my heart and all that is sacred

And until forever becomes never I will always improve and always get better

*A New Baby*

Damn, I can’t believe it

A baby? Don’t worry about that dream, you’ll still achieve it

So young, and yes you’re bright

And only through darkness reveals the light

What may start off bad, always ends up good

Don’t even think about what would be different if you COULD

The fact is you gotta live taking it one day at a time

You can do it all by yourself, all you need is some love,

NOT emotionless mime

You got your family, got some friends

Now you’ll have a little one, this is where the journey begins

I’m proud of you, standing up and being a REAL woman

I just wish I could be a real friend, be there when it’s coming

Be there to support you, sort of like your boy should

Be there the way if I was in your position, you would

I’m excited I can’t wait

I know you’re a little scared and want to see what’s in store for the next 9

And I know things will not go as smoothly as this rhyme

But I’m here, maybe not physically maybe not financially

but definitely emotionally

I’ll still be here even when times get ugly

I’m your best friend; I’ll always be your buddy

Sorry girl, I don’t have any money

Don’t worry about your dream, you will still achieve it

Damn, I just can’t believe it

*A Place I’ve Never Been*

I’m sitting here and I’m just thinking

Thinking about stuff. You and freakin

I know that one-day we will share that REAL somethin’

Whenever is when I’m ready, I could show you REAL lovin’

That’s not all that I’m about but I’m REALLY curious to see

To see how it would feel to join you, in ecstasy

I feel your personality

I don’t need us to get physical, it’s just a want in all actuality

I feel your beautiful smile

And I most definitely feel your gangsta style

I’m getting in deeper; it feels like more than a crush

Now I’m hella into you, I smile but stay on hush

I wish that you felt me and wanted to do things to me that I wanna do to you

So, yeah like I’ve said, I’m sitting here and I’m just thinking

Thinking about stuff, you and freakin

*An Addict *

I’m so so so addicted

But not to drugs cause I’ll never get splifted

I’m addicted to you

Like kids with the glue

I want to play, make you scream things you normally wouldn’t say

But not just a little, all night and day

I want to be happy with not going anywhere

Just want to stay with you wearing nothing but hair

The passion we’ll share the sweat we’ll leak

That climatic pause cause our bodies are so weak

I want to share this experience on the daily

I’m fallin’ so hard for you so soon, I’m going crazy

The curiosity man . . . the curiosity

Got me going so wild, there’s no pause in me

But I need to stop, I’m getting too addicted

-TR

*Baby can we work it out?*

Baby can we work it out?

Can we talk like grown ups and not shout?

Baby can we act like all this bull never happened?

Can we both be faithful lovers and stop slacking

Please babe?

You’ve got me on my hands and knees babe!

I just want us to be happy, dangerously in love

Just show the world that our relationship’s that Real love

We wouldn’t even have to be together, we could be happily apart

But my love for you is so deep in my heart that to find it they’d have to take me apart

I miss being happy with you

And just know that for you there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

Babe for you, I’d go to jail

Cause being without you is so close to being in hell

I want to kiss you

I love you way too much to diss
