I Was

I think some people are uncomfortable with their beauty

Hoping for another in order to finally feel free

And, I believe in people functioning as magnets

Waiting to be attracted to another soul and similar heart beat



I think some people use excuses so they don’t have to believe

That life wasn’t made to take way, but give you air to breathe

And, I received a letter from a long lost friend

Wanting to see if her first love was the first love my heart ever bled



“I was young,” and that’s been my excuse

A nail in the coffin separating me from truth from you

“I was uncomfortable,” and that’s been my disease

A cough in my chest stealing the breath inside of me

But, what I wanted to say was, “I was in love.”
