I Remember
Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)
I remember the time I was in love.
Fast forward of choosing me, I hated the treatment.
Is it terrible I chose my beliefs over yours?
I remember the lovers I had and their friends.
Having friends around a love?
It was a bad choice.
Not my doing but what to expect if it's ruined?
If I felt it was safe, I would open up about the relationship.
My standards changed since then.
A growing process making progress.
You broke my heart as soon as I broke yours.
I am glad the people I used to talk to have happier days.
A happier person is respected.
