HRS & HRS
(inspired by the song of the same name)
I could be yours for hours
You always come first
And have me going back for seconds
Teaching me things over and over
Like I never learned my lesson
Who knows how one’s body could have
All the answers to our questions
Thank you for your blessings
Hours and hours
I trace the minutes with my big and little hands
The blueprint of our love
Was part of the plan
But I wasn’t able to meet your demands
I wasn’t down with your circumstance
You wanted to leave for another man
I was yours
You was never mine
We could never been ours
Too mutually exclusive
Without being inclusive
Without being conducive
So your heart become very elusive
And I didn’t want to be intrusive
I was never yours
You said you were mine
In reality nothing was ever ours
You had me make you come first
Not going back for seconds
You really became the worst
Valentine’s Day was this week and this next artist dropped the song the celebrate the occasion not too long ago. Singer/songwriter Muni Long released her hit single, Hrs & Hrs and it’s the slow jam you’ve been missing in your life.
For those that have that special someone or yearning for that person, this track will set the mood for you. This had me thinking of past relationships and looking to the future.
