Still in Love with You

For years I had a wall of stone built completely around my heart, to keep out all fake 'loving" guys from tearing it apart.

For I heard that if you let them in, they'd only cause you pain, pain to such elevations, there was a chance you'd go insane.

My family and my friends, though, have always had my love. For I know dat dey are angels, sent by tha Heavenly Father above.

Since you were my homeboy, tha love has always been there. For two years we were down, 'till we did something kinda rare.

When we first got together, no one thought dat it would last, said we wouldn't take it seriously because of our crazy past.

For two months we were happy and together tore down my wall, and my heart told me, for tha first time ever, it was safe for me to fall.

Den your friend got out of jail and changed you day by day. And we fought and argued more cause he kept getting in tha way.

He told you I wuz wrong for you and dat I wuz creepin on tha low. And thought I promised it wasn't true, you just wouldn't let it go.

So when I couldn't take tha fighting or tha cussing anymore, I took a long, deep breath, and den showed you to tha door.

You still found tyme to stop by and sometymez we'd talk all nyte. And I asked you to give me tyme to build up more strength to fight.

We agreed to just be friends though we loved each other so. Said in a few weeks, we'd try again cuz we'd been threw too much to let it all go.

But not even two weeks after we split, you got wit my sister, my best friend. And I couldn't believe you did dat, I couldn't believe it wuz tha end.

Once more you came to me cryin', when I told you "never again", for jumpin sister to sister wuz a deadly, lethal sin.

I cried and cried abt it, for I knew I had to let us go. And though I tried to hid it, tha pain continued to show.

I thought dat I could trust you, I loved you wit every emotion I had. At one tyme you made me happy, but now you just make me sad.

I'm tryin to get ova it, thought my heart is beat and bruised and my mind keeps criticizing for tha path dat I have choosed.

For even though you hurt me, far beyond wht should be true, I still hear myself sayin dat I'm still in love with you.
