Knew U was a come up
Couldn't wait 2 run up
And embrace my girl
In a life of pain
U were my soft rain
Baby love
U were my world
Yet the best laid plans
We understand
Can change in the blink of an eye
One day Ur basking
Next day Ur asking
Why the rain
Makes ya want 2 cry
A summer enveloped
In the heat of Ur lovliness
A pretty, stylish haircut
So beautiful I must confess
With curves
That made brothers swerve
In a summer dress
My boys said U were Untouchable
But I was Elliot Ness
In fall
I would call
U all day and nite
Before I went 2 bed
Praying 2 God 4 Blessing
Me with a girl so right
Walking hand in hand
Such a touching sight
Tryin 2 act mature
But my heart gave up the fight
Dancing 2 a lover's theme
Holding U so tight
In winter
Cuddling near the fireside
Stroking Ur body while U slept
So full of pride
Tickling Ur sweetness
So I could come inside
Slipping and sliding
On Ur Ebony Ice
Enjoying the ride
A tru lover and friend
With whom
I could confide
Tossing out the warning signs
Allowing my apprehension
2 die
In spring
Shopping 4 a ring
I need U in my life
Never thought after my marriage
Ended I would desire a wife
Talking 2 me gently
After a work day of stress and strife
A peaceful place
In Ur embrace
Ina world so rife
With a tension
And apprehension
U could cut with a knife
I felt so Blessed
Slowly Ur tenderness
Faded from ourdaily routine
Thought it was the typical drama
In a relationship
She'll let off some steam
Having conversations
In situations
That were not the norm
Coming home
Seeing U on the phone
Chilling like a Quiet Storm
Talkin 2 my boys
Asking if I could employ
Anything 2 circumvent
A love 4 all seasons
That suddenly became
The reasons 4 Ur discontent
One day I came home
And U were gone
So where Ur things
Only items left was a note
And Ur friendship ring
Didn't know the reasons
4 this treason
Didn't grasp the full extent
I guess U left 2 find tru happiness
In Ur Season of Discontent
Wow,
This is deep
Seems as if I have a new opening
In my life
I wonder if any woman out there
Who can hear me
Would one day like 2 be my wife
Anybody?
