I lost myself in my love for you
This person that I am I no longer recognize
Unconditionally forever there's nothing I wouldn't do
I looked up today & I saw her to my surprise
She was disappointed in the person that I had become
Yes, love is this powerful , intriguing, and amazing feeling don't get it wrong
But, she continued, you're at the point where your senses are numb
You can't or rather wont see you've been given too much for far too long
Take off the crimson colored glasses look at whats going on
Sometimes you have to let go to see if there was even anything worth holding onto
You're a woman its hard being true to yourself while looking for a genuine bond
Don't settle for mistreatment, leaving will hurt but the pain will subdue
What could I argue back to her, what was my defense
She knew me better than anyone possibly could
This relationship, if even that, is making no sense
Leave. I don't know if when my feet move if my heart would
How far could I really go without my heart ?
Smiling facades of happiness with someone new
All along still wanting only him wouldn't be smart
What the hell am I suppose to do I begged her give me a clue
After listening intently this is what she said
I'm not telling you to replace him
Not saying find someone to warm his side of the bed
Hear what I have to say even tho I may be going out on a limb
Put us first she said, love me
At the end of the day after its all said and done
You need to love yourself first this is what I want you to see
Loving you is the half the battle then the rest will follow and be won
I looked up today & I saw her to my surprise
This strong, beautiful, independent black woman I see
I recognize her and a true smile began to rise
It was me all along, it was me Scarlet Dee
