Same Song

You hear it, you’ve heard it; the same words over and over. Some words you never get tired of hearing, like, I love you. But when it comes to, I’ll try harder or I’m going to change, it’s like hearing the same song play over and over and over and over. The melody is the same, and the lyrics don’t change. You’ve heard it so many times that you know it by heart. When you hear it again, you hope that something will make it sound better or make you feel differently, but it doesn’t. There comes a time when you need to put that song out of its misery and get a new singer.

Bend Over Backwards

To compromise is one thing; to let you have your way all the time is another. If we’re going to make this work, we must work together. I don’t mind you taking the lead because I’ll follow you. When you stand up front, I’ll have your back. When you stumble, I’ll still be there, and when you fall, I’ll help you up. I can agree to disagree. I may even let you think you’re right at times, but my back can only bend so far until it breaks.

Think Again

As long as I allow you to treat me the way you want, you will continue to do what you do. You take my kindness for granted and my silence as fear. But, I can act a fool out in public; loud talk you, and belittle you in front of your friends, if that is what it takes to make you think again about how you treat me. I go out screamin’, fight back, cut or shoot you if that what it takes to make you think again about putting your hands on me. I can show up on your job, follow you everywhere, even rent a billboard if that is what it takes to make you think again about steppin’ out on me. But, I had to think again and I realized that you’re just not worth it.

Meet Me at the Top

I’m on my way up the ladder of success and I don’t have time to stop. I don’t mind if you follow me up, or if you hold on to me so that we can climb together; however, I will not stop and wait for you to get on, or carry you up on my back. I won’t stand still and watch others, but I will watch them receive their blessings because I know mine is coming. I may fall down a step or two in the process-still I’ll keep climbing. I won’t get off my ladder just to help you get back on the one you jumped from. You can stay at the bottom of your ladder, but don’t expect me to stay there with you.

Stage Left

It’s your time to exit a discussion when it turns into an argument and or becomes volatile. When you find yourself in a relationship whereas you’re always giving and never receiving, you’ll soon realize that you’re the only one in it for the both of you. If you’re a woman and the male you’re with continually ask for money, it’s time to exit stage left. If you’re a man and the female you’re with continually uses the word “I”, it’s your warning sign to exit stage left.

Some Alone Time

If you have never spent time with yourself, you will never learn to be by yourself and appreciate the benefits of solitude. You will become needy, thus, making you insecure and paranoid. No one wants a clingy; someone who follows their every move, hanging on to their shirttail, and being the only focal point of your thought process. Independence has a vast meaning…find yours! 

Rolling Into You

It has to be another one of the greatest feelings in the world to roll over onto your man/woman in the wee hours of the morning and make love until the sun comes up. Or, if you were startled out of your sleep from a bad dream, you can roll over into the arms of your man/woman and feel comforted. There are times when you go to bed angry with your mate, and when you roll over in the middle of the night, all you can think about is that you’re still mad. Now, you’re wasting a good night of sleep or an opportunity to be put to sleep. When you roll into your man/woman, you should’ve already rolled out of the argument, the bad day, and the “I’m not in the mood”; rolling into-that was yesterday, I’m so in love with you, and let me make it better.

Make a U-turn

It’s human nature to make a mistake. It’s okay to be wrong. When you find yourself in a situation whereas you keep making a wrong, make a u-turn. Turn your thoughts and actions in another direction. Turn your heart over to a different beat that makes you feel and be good in your intentions. There are times when you have to go back to where it all went wrong in order to make a u-turn in the right direction. Just remember that when you’re making a u-turn, don’t make it a circle.

Stealing A Choice

Every man/woman has the right to be with whomever they choose. No one has the right to let someone fall in love with them under false pretenses and deception. If you’re going to have multiple lovers, it would be wise to let the other ones know. Don’t lie about it-be a man/woman about it. Don’t lead someone into thinking one thing when you have other things going on elsewhere. No one can tell their heart what not to feel. If someone chooses to be the “other” person in your life then let it be their choice. If you take that right from someone with your actions, you are truly a thief.
