Swag Surfin'
And just when you thought you were on the right path, here comes a detour. Swag just right, mad sexy and dressed down in buttoned polos. And at the snap of his fingers it was almost like you came and went, to his place just as the “cock crowed 10”. See a lustful paradice is only what he saw in you, one in which he wanted to vacation at frequently. And this time that ya’ll shared was one that he wasn’t trying to invest in.

Careful Words
Mama always told me to use careful words whenever i twisted my mouth to speak. I live to know that our words still hold power even long after the conversation is over..
