Humility

i wish i knew love enough to write about it
the story of my life
as it pleases
love goes in and out of it
teasing me
subtly appeasing me
as it sees fit

im not an old man
still a baby in this thing called life
and if a wise man knows his ignorance
than is it correct to admit my ignorance
as wisdom??
am i getting it?

tough concept to crack
but as a writer i do this daily
crack concepts in half
life philosophies
id never skip that class

im just getting a little older now
love realizes this
bed feeling a little colder now
messing with these random chicks
i wish
i knew about love enough to write about it.

when we were younger it was so simple, wasnt it?
it be that one chick
one dude
who made you think about no one else
for a time
oh she's a dime
i might wife her
now jay-z is married with kids on the way
funny how life is
if
i could just get her a powder blue rock-a-wear suit
white nike her...
it would be simple right?
if all love was like high school love
passing notes left to right
staying up on the phone all night
rebelling against parents that just want your schooling to be your only sight
yea right
that was high school love

im older now
with these grown man hands
im making grown man plans
i got grown man demands
demand grown woman sands to wade through
simply nice smiles and big butts wont due
but a woman of substance
a love like this
im into

i wish
i knew about love enough to write about it
but really
a lovely lady of substantial virtue
would always do
no one perfect
but one who strives to better herself
therefore as a couple, we improve
complimentary
like the sun and moon

lets make stars together
a new universe
pure creation
hand in hand
a love like this
i wish
i knew enough about love to write about it
no
i wish
i knew enough about love to talk about it
no
i wish i knew enough about love to be about it
to be about you.
i wish
i knew
you
