Time—less

(Written some time last year; inspired by Drake’s single “Timeless”)

I quit, so there’s no need for you to fire me,

I’ve learned early in life that nothing worth having is really free.

I committed to paying dues, and constantly turning down dudes

To be with you

Someone I liked and then I loved but that’s just it for me

The rest of “us,” the storybook ending is really a mystery

So call up Scooby-Do, Velma, Fred, Daphne, and Shaggy too..

You need a crew, at least that’s how it seemed

To be accepted by all and many, by any means

Just listen, I need for you to pay attention, but something’s missing

The sparkle that I used to see is non-existing

In your eyes I see a sizzle, I wish I had a whistle to awaken you..

What else is there to do when it’s true

Look, you’re really not asleep just ashamed

And who’s to blame, certainly not me, the mighty, the brave, the lame

I really care but my tenure is over and It’s for you to know her,

She who has your heart had captured it from the start

It’s a part, I meant time for us to be apart..

Forever…to be in love never because we were only disillusioned by our desire to settle

Not for each other but for the thought, but even those seem to fade away..

You’re in love and I am ecstatic, as I matter-of-fact it

I’m sincere, so don’t expect to see me shed a tear..

But one thing I will do is support you as you realize..

That she’s the only one who ever made you feel alive..

“But baby wait, there’s still time to make it right between us…”
