I heard your ex was an alcoholic, hurt your feelings and didn't do right by you Now though I'm puzzled by how that could possibly be true, I must say I'm glad you left him And it's a pleasure to meet you I can imagine that's how that coming at you, and it don't help none of this true So before too much time goes by, I'ma shoot my best shot and see if it goes through Extend my arm, flick my wrist and release with perfect form Then the predator goes in I promise, the last place I want to see you is back on Hinge Stop playing girl, you know we got shows to binge Plenty of new seasons, episodes and reality we can live Oh and reality TV to make us cringe I'm ready to love, and after these last 90 days I'm all but ready to make you my fianc And I don't even need a visa But I do feel like life without you is almost worse than lockup Tell me, can we find love after a breakup Reconcile and make up, reunite cause it feels so good in real life And not just cause it's something that's all made up You ready to come break my hair yet Ready to come watch Raised by Wolves Season two I saved it just for you Don't worry, if you watched it already it's cool I won't be upset But I bet you miss me being able to reach stuff up high so you don't have to get a stool Or jump up on the counter all the time Not to mention all the great adventures we had and mountains we've climbed Remember the bikes, roller skates, electric scooters we ride Remember our jump rope competitions and how you'd always win, even though we were on the Same side Remember running through the park as a warm up and staying right behind me so I could Catch all the wind But what about off-road shopping and singing in the studio How about when we would load them clips up, the range, put on goggles and let them things Go Well, I know you miss taking naps in my sleeping bag and walking around with a baggy onesie On over your savage Fenty like you wasn't bad Mercy, it ain't just your beauty, it's your complexity and humility that I've always admired You tired like I'm tired Tired of cuddling your pillow at night See I got two, but no matter how many tears they soak up, they can't hit me with the thunder Like you You ready to come home Home to where your heart is at Let me hold you till we fall asleep or till it gets too hot and you gotta roll back Wait, it's been a minute, three months to be specific Where exactly is your heart at And how does one who proved he didn't know how to act go about getting his lady back Should I pour out my soul, plead my case and allow the promises to stack Cause I can go on for hours about how sorry I was I can go on for days counting the ways in which I want you and miss you I can tell you with great certainty that if given another chance, I'd Hold on, let me spell you the cliches, cause if I've learned anything during our time apart It's that it's not all about what I want or even what I can say To start, I'd like to know what you've been thinking What you've learned and more importantly, is your hibiscus okay Did you miss me Did you pull out your phone at night, look at pictures of us while playing sad love songs And sigh Well, I did Did you ponder all the ways I neglected your feelings and mistreated you by not being kind Cause I did Did you look back over the two years we spent together and smile, then laugh when you remember All the fun we had playing hide and go seek like a child You already know I did Did you weigh the pros and cons of being with me again A poet and ex-con Did you consider life with a professor or the benefits of moving on Did you work out the math problem of our destiny, subtract my foolishness and possibly see a Future with me Or did that seem more arduous in fact, more like doing a bid than glee Did you ever check my story on IG for pictures of another woman and me I kid But you see, I had to stop watching your stories cause them gym videos of you doing squats Made my heart drop, beat skip I almost had to delete IG I admit, it's been a trip You miss me cooking for you Or would your macro say otherwise Satisfied with frozen meal prep, delivery and thirsty DMs from other guys I know I ain't the only cat with a crush I wonder what your therapist is telling you Seems like just yesterday it was the three of us I'm glad you have someone clinically qualified to confide in that you can trust Anyhow, I hope you're getting all the answers you need and that your anxiety ain't been Acting up Stealing your peace and have you fixating at full speed looking for something you can't Find and getting stuck I wonder, do your friends and family tell you to move on and forgive me Well, considering my previous behavior, I'd say that's a fair decree How are the rest of your plans and how's your treat How go the body goals and how's your hair growth routine I pray for you and them daily Plus your new crib cause I care Baby, these last three months have been both terrible and wonderful all at the same time It's crazy As I said, I missed you something serious I went through all the stages of grief I think at some point I was delirious It was like a few of them were on repeat and didn't want me to sleep So mysterious The good part was being alone turned out to be just what I needed to strengthen my beliefs Get back with God and to the bottom of what was eating at me It really got me about that fall and now I couldn't be more happy, but I know it's been A while since we talked, so please indulge me while I catch you up with the current status Of my walk See, I did just what I said I was going to do in my last apology I went to individual therapy plus AA, back to church, had early morning worship and listened To the word three times a day Worked out at home, applied for that new full-time position and stepped up my training with crew And you know what Praise the Lord I even got an interview Can you believe it But for the meantime, I went back to FedEx for a few paid hours of fitness, at least For a season Them boxes are relentless Started reading more and fasting from television and social media Then started building toward my vision as well as expanding my profile in academia Working on my parenting, capacity for kindness and patience is my new mission I've also been journaling, writing poems, logging daily activities and meditating And I got to say, I feel great I'm free, not fixed However, I am over my obsession with alcohol and it's not an all missed And I'm not going back Nope, nada, not even a sip I'm on a whole nother track, a whole nother tip It's about progress, not perfection And my sponsor just gave me my three month chip What I'm really working on now are my character defects and negative thoughts I began the process of saying no to pride, being more humble and possessing an open mind Because having to close one cost Basically, I'm the same great guy minus the service fees Similar but different like Matt instead of gloss Now look here, I'm not trying to floss, but this new version of me has less glitches Comes with a few updates and double the kisses I mean, just wait till you see these upgrades They're ridiculous I'd also like you to know for what it's worth that I've evolved Evolved on a few issues we had Or better yet, that I had Like, I don't think we have to live in different houses anymore like I did before Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna buy some property, but I'm no longer dead set on having My own separate place Obviously, whatever I get, you get And God's given me grace I actually think it'd be nice if we came together properly What I'm saying is that even though it ain't 2006, I want you in my space In other words, let me put it like this I want to make space for you and your ideas so that you feel heard and safe in the house At night and sharing them ideas Plus, I no longer have any preference about the amount or timing of us having kids I'm perfectly comfortable with you calling it and telling me what it is Now, I
