3 Love Yous

I love you- so here's the best of me Like whatever else is left of me You never knew the rest of me I thought I knew love- when I took the hand of destiny... Told me shut up- when I told her I would make it That pushed me even harder if I got a shot I'll take it... Honestly I really liked you I used to walk you home- then later I would write you... Songs paragraphs and these Letters over text We both moved so I know there's nothing next... 2 times strangers- and 1 time friends I typed up an apology but couldn't press send... So now- it's like we never met I wish I told you sorry- that's one thing I can't forget... We went our separate way Just to let you know- I think about you to this day It's over now- yea I got nothing left to say I guess it was Destiny- you left and didn't stay... I love you- but I couldn't call you father All your lessons pushed me farther... And your beatings made me stronger We don't even talk- conversations getting longer... I just wanted my real dad I wanted him real bad... I won't cry- I haven't seen him in a while I was still confused but you made my mama smile... I had anger for you- and I'll admit that's my bad But no matter what- I can't call you my dad... It's hard for me- I'm sorry I can't let you I'm not the little kid from back when I first met you The kid grew up to understand and respect you Please just give me time- give me time just to get you... Now I understand- over time I got bigger You was there for me- you was my father figure... Now I understand- over time I got bigger You was there for me- you was my father figure... I love you like my brother Hung out everyday- dawg our bond was like no other... Youngins on the court- we was just tryna dunk Said I had no hops- and I said you was drunk... We both 14- we both had bigger dreams Me with my rhymes- you tryna make the team... Yea - when you made it I was hype for you I know the future's bright for you... We hit cityline- Bro we was crew... It was you me and Dan Throwing alley oops- tryna dunk it off the hand... Tryna get better- in my eyes you were the best Starting playing more- in the end you won with less... Like you always said- one day I'll be touring Our friendship is more than the points you was scoring... I loved seeing you win- but when winning got the best of you 5 seconds on the clock- already got what's left of you...
