Day 02: Your First Love




I was about 21 when I experienced my first real love. Kinda old to be fallin' head over heels for someone...but that's life. Unpredictable. I know for a fact he wasn't in love. At least I know it now...back then I was blinded by my rose colored glasses. What I thought was mutual love turned out to be extremely one sided. I did things for him that I wouldn't dream of doing for anyone before him and I have trouble doing now for anyone after him without doubting the persons intentions. I'm over it now...got an awesome daughter from the experience and I consider her my silver lining from that very dark cloud over my life. My first love rained down on me...monsoon style.









Love rain down on me,on me,down on me [4x]
Met him on a Thursday, sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees
He was brown and deep
Said he wanted to talk about my mission
Listen to my past lives (Word?)
Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy
Talked about Moses and Mumia
Reparations, blue colors, memories of shell topped adidas
He was fresh, like summer peaches
Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy
Us was nice and warm, no jacket, no umbrella, just warm
At night we would watch the stars
And he would physically give me each and every one
I felt like cayenne pepper, red, hot, spicy
I felt Dizzy and Sonya, Heaven, and Miles between my thighs
Better than love,we made delicious
He me had, had me he
He had me tongue tied
I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts
I was his sharp, his horn section
His boom and his bip
And he was my love

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
The rain was fallin and,and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes
And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest
And I was his faithful concubine
Wide open, wide, loose like bowels after collard greens
The mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips
Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
And us became new
Now me non-clairvoyant and in love made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible
The rain was falling and I couldn't see the season changing and the vibe slipping off it's axis
Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato
The rain was falling and I could not see
That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized
And left to drown in his sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees, melody

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me [2x]

Wide open, wide loose the mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
And us became new me not clairvoyant and in love made me the fool
You were never true
If you didn't want me, awwww you should have let me know
All you did was make a mockery of something so incredible beautiful
I honestly did love you

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
