To all the men I've loved
I got you
And not in the way your boys claim they do
I have loyalty embedded across my lips, your secrets are safe with me
I have plans to nurture you the same way your mother did
I picked you the same way I pick flowers
I smell the beauty in them

The thing about me is
I was born to love
I was born to treat you the way you've never been treated
You ever wonder why you still think of me on your loneliest nights
I mean

I got you
And not in the same way you promised you had me
I have unconditional gripped around my thighs
You could have made a home out of me
I used to wonder why you've never settled down
With anyone
Then I realized I probably only picked you while in a rush
I was so eager for love so I settled for you

The thing about me is
I wasn't raised to give up
So
I really got you
My spine was formed with elasticity so
I can handle both the downs and the ups
I would have stuck around for longer than the lust
But you saw no future in us
You picked me the same way men picked clothing attire
You make sure to pick someone else before the season expires
But
I promise to God
I wasn't lying when I said I got you
