The Other You and Me

A tru yu did tek mi likkle heart by storm

That's why I can't get past your charm

The sweet smell you always carry

Makes my heart flutter and stop

But our likkle love ting flop

We had a good thing going on

We use to talk on the phone for hours

When I was sad

You use to cheer me up like flowers

I kept it real with you at all times

But you couldn't return the favour

Yet still for a while you had me semi sprung

I wanted to sample you like my favorite flavour

I was wrong!

Oh so wrong!

You told me I was your wife

And that you would be the one to be there for me always in my life

But instead of making me happy

You brought much strife

You went behind my back

You were spitting game to my best friend

Because of that

I put you and me to an end

You took one thing from me

That I can never get back

And I will never be able to admit that fact

I was blind to your motives

I gave you 99 percent of me

I thought you were worth it

Only after you hurt me

I realised you didn't deserve it

Sometimes I remember how much we had in common

A connection that went back to Jamaica

My word is my bond

That you hurt me the best in a long time

I was foolish to think that you were mine

I prayed about it for a while

I tried to turn my tears to smiles

I came to the conclusion that everything happens for a reason

Even your unsuspected and deceitful treason

I forgave you because deep down I still care about you

Though I mostly moved on

I can remember times when I felt so good in your arms

I remember you being there for me

And us being so good together

That it made me wonder why you would second guess it

Couldn't you just tell me the truth?

You are as fake as pleather!

What you did was grimy to the root!

I love him definitely

But I am confused as to whether or not I am over you

You still call me and we talk

I talk about my boo

And you talk bout all the girls’ weh you pass through

I am okay with or without you

It's my boo I love securely

It's my boo that sets me free

But every now and then

My minds displays pictures

Of you and me.
