Boy Bye

Boy Bye


Please don't tell me that you like me
Without even knowing who I am.
I've already been down this rocky road
So many times I can count on both hands.
You telling me how I'm unique, special, deep.
That I'm different, my flaws are, you know, cute.
When it's those same damn cute flaws,
That later will be the cause,
Of you giving me the boot.
Whoa boy, slow down,
You don't even know my struggle,
So don't go fluffing my pillows,
Getting comfortable.
Yeah I've seen that look in your eyes
Plenty of times,
Followed by plenty of lines and rhymes.
Reeling me in just like a gullible fish,
Ray J'ing me singing "If I had one wish, "
Making my heart flutter,skipping beats and shit.
It's cute, I'll give you that,
But I need something more.
Something infinite, something factual,
Something pure.
I'm tired of these fictional romances
Not based in truth.
That really you'll never actually see ME
That day when you say,
"Come here beautiful, let me holla at you."
I'll be too busy blushing, thinking,
I mean knowing I'm fine, to mind.
Won't even notice that you'll only see me
From my right side,
Which I call my 'right' side
Or better yet my good side,
Because my hair covers my eye,
Just right, making me look like Aaliyah.
But the rest of Akilah,
Hidden behind that better side
You won't even see that chilly autumn day.
By the time we reach May,
You'll have seen my other side,
Let's just call it my bad side because well 
Hell it's my left side, where my face is fully Exposed. 
I suppose, it'll catch you off guard.
And my twinkling eyes won't seem
So bright anymore.
And it'll seem strange
How you never noticed
These heavy bags I carry on my back
And under my eyes,
Before.
Everything that I'll think made our love so Pure, so refreshing,
Will just end up being another crazy life Lesson.
So please know that when I say "Boy bye,"
I'm not just a cold-hearted jerk, a bitch,
Stuck up or an asshole.
I just swear I know this road,
Oh so well.
And this here, 
You should be grateful for this
Cautionary Tale.
