I saw you

I saw you with your nice woman

Cuddling, kissing, looking

Happy together

Sitting in that front row

Right in front of me

As if there were no other places to seat

As if there were no other places to kiss

Than in that front row

Right in front of me

Dying

Looking at you both

Shining

Glowing

Thinking all right, so that’s what you like

So that’s what you want

Tight hips, straight hair, thin lips

Everything you know that is out of my reach

But you guys looked so happy together

Yeah you guys looked so happy together

So maybe maybe

That’s what

Was meant to be

With or without me

She put her arms around your neck

And that just killed me to be honest

So I didn’t

Look at you

Smile at you

Wave at you

Cause seriously

What for?

Trouble!

Sista started looking at me

With fury in the eyes

And venom in her purse

With fists ready to talk

And fingernails ready too

 

Trouble !

 

She thought I was after her man

 

Oh hell no

 

So I said

 

Sista sista

I don’t want your man

Stop looking at me with anger in your eyes

Sista sista

I don’t want your job

Stop looking at me with your arms crossed

Sista sista

I don’t want your life

I have one of my own and we’re happy thank you

Sista sista

Can’t we just be cool?

Can’t we just be friends?

Once in a while

Can’t we just be sisters?

 

 

I was expecting an angry reaction

But instead

My sista

Kissed her teeth loudly

And left

 

 

Damn !
