the words fresh in my mind

[on_da_downlow22]

I wiped her tears and healed her tight
I kissed her forehead
And told her everything would be all right
As my fingertips graced her cheek
She asked if her tears meant she was weak?
I looked at her sweet innocent face
Covered in tears, make-up all over the place

I told her,
No baby
Your tears don't mean your weak
Just that you're human and have feelings so very deep
She said but I love him and It hurts so bad
Hearing her cries tore me up and made me so DAMN mad
How could she love you and you not love her back?
Don't you understand that once you've had her love
It will always be something you lack?

I once had her love but she took it right back
She took it back to give it to you
Why weren't you gentle? Caring? RESPECTFUL!?
And true?
You fool

I told her, now I need you to listen very close
Because what I'm about to tell you
You need to know most
Now close your eyes
And let your mind take all this in
I don't know how he could hurt you so
But why? is one thing that I do know

I placed my mouth right by her ear
I felt her heart beat with so much fear
She knew what i was about to say
she grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight

As i whispered
Baby, love doesn't hurt

She looked up at me with swollen tear filled eyes
And said he never loved me is what your saying
right?

I said
NO
Baby because love so true,
Would never hurt you
Like he tried to do
