What Love Is

Confession, in all my high school years, I never kissed a girl And then a year after that, I thought I was in love Precious little dumbass Got a DM from a girl who said she's moving to my city Noticed we had common friends and she was a super pretty brown girl So if it worked out, mama would be okay Cause you know immigrant families want you to play it safe The first time we met was on campus computer lab We still found a way to make it romantic, you do the math We hit it off quick, even my punchlines landed And when we were apart, my heart started feeling stranded From that day forward, between school sessions We did what wise men say, cause only fools rush in We had to sneak around, our families were traditional And if we got caught, shit would get propositional Lo and behold, about six months in Her sisters found out about it like this just in And blew it up like the tabloids Even told her dad A kind and religious man who didn't really get mad Matter of fact, didn't show an inkling of rage But wanted to meet my parents to be on the same page They chatted about our future without us speaking a phrase Then said if we wanna stay, we gotta get engaged Damn I know what love is I really do I'll do whatever it takes to be with you I know what love is I really do I'll do whatever it takes to be with you Foolish me, I rushed it, clutched the opportunity We didn't wanna let anything get between our unity We didn't have to hide it no more from the community Brown nosing type, pun intended, it's buffoonery shit A year later, she had to move back Cause some family troubles, so her touch, I'd lose that She said, yes this is lame, but love, trust is the same So what's a few hundred clicks, we'll take buses and planes And we did, and one night, we were watching a flick And in between, found moments to get lockin' our lips And then I saw her phone light up as she covered the screen And so I asked, who was that And she said, it's Harleen And then I told her that I saw the name flash It was Gary Who the f*ck is that Thought it was a fair query And I'm the type to say that if you're creeping, let it show What kind of bitch would I be if I didn't wanna know Look I know what love is I really do I'll do whatever it takes to be with you I know what love is I really do I'll do whatever it takes to be with you If you need some closure around that story I mean, that was it It was over after that
