I looked for you today, although I knew you were not here.
As I sat and watched the people walk by, my mind kept floating,
And the memories ached my soul.
Every direction I turned reminded me of you.
And all the times we stood out here sharing good conversation.
I Remembered the smile that engulfed my face from the sight of you.
As I sat and waited for someone, I knew it would not be you.
My eyes welled up with tears wishing you would just appear.
Like you use to.
Downtown wont be the same for me.
A place I once could not wait to be.
Baby, You put the thrill in it for me.
Although I know you had no say.
Those corporate suits took that away.
Leaving me here all alone, looking for my comfort zone.
Oh, what I would give to turn back time.
To when we first met and I was so mesmerized.
By the tall sexy brotha with the beautiful brown eyes.
Strolling the sidewalk looking mega fine.
I never wanted to see this day, when I could not call you office,
And hear you say, “Baby I’m on my way”.
I guess I m being selfish in my on little selfish way.
Because now work is just work.
Not some where we can play.
I hope with time the sadness goes away.
And I won’t get mad when I see your crew,
Strolling the walkway without you.
Wondering why it had to be you.
Wondering how they could just take away,
A mans livelihood.
Like you don't have responsibilities and bills to pay.
It’s ****** up, but I guess that’s just the American way.
