Ain't Understanding Meloow

Ain’t Understanding Mellow

I recently heard it

It’s been well over ten years

Oh thank God for you

. we were able to see

Just how wrong we were

I wanted you to listen.

There was a time I would call

Could call

“Guess what I heard today”

and you would sing a line or two

say you remember and we talk about where we were

when we heard it

You probably have it in your collection.

For whatever reason

many reasons

maybe even none in particular

I found it very emotional

As a prose

Those lyrics

Try to make it easier for me

A personal reflection

Of you and me

You didn’t try to hide yourself

Oh no need to explain.

You’re the kind of man you are

To be so understanding

In honoring someone else

Their insecurities

You have but to count on me

Yeah ‘n I’ll be right by your side

I won't call.

Try to make it easier for me

For you

I just finished reading a book

I wanted to tell you about it

Recommend you read it.

Or better yet say

“You know what you should do”

Ain’t understanding mellow

So we could share

Tell you my favorite chapters

Concur on its statements

My amazement

A quality about myself that I

finally recognized

I thank God for you we were able to see

Just how wrong we were

The book, I just spoke about

If it had not just recently been written

I would believed that you had already read it

Embracing its concepts

Making it easy for me to accept its philosophy

I’ve seen them work in your life

The traits in you

Your perception about life

I’m glad I read it

It takes away the credit I’ve given you

There’s a man who understands

How hard it is to take your hand

And try to explain

Therein lies in you what I deemed

Your character

What I admired about you

I found it in a book

You have but to count on me

‘n I’ll be right by your side

You said that day would come

I would see you for who you were

O thank God for you

for it’s very nice to see

There’s a man who understands

Try to make it easier for you

And not pick up the phone

And say

Listen I just heard have you read help

guess what can you believe how are you

Your knew my voice

Recognized its emotions

There’s a gaping hole

Making me now reach out to

others to fill in a gap

Opening a new network

Oh thank God for you

Ironically you did me a favor

When I was satisfied with

the two tin cans

tied to a string

it was very effective

it had some semblance of a relationship

that was unique

a friendship of believing

that we really knew each other

You’re the kind of man you are

To be so understanding

I think of the word

Insecure

Try to make it easier for me

And its definitions

Its connotation

The meaning

My decrypting and have yet

To understand what it had to do 

with you me our friendship

We were able to see just how wrong

we were.

I held onto our friendship that

..... wherever you go

You have but to call on me

I’m gonna be right by your side

You would be by mine

Now I believe something

Which you said about yourself

being a fucked up child...

Ain’t understanding mellow

One of your qualities

Efficiency

It’s all about efficiency

In all areas of your life

The book, the one I

Couldn’t tell you about

Call you

Speaks about the energy which is

Our thoughts that we pivot into the universe

comes back to us

Your generosity compassion

understanding humor helpfulness

thoughtfulness therefore

pivots into the universe

and returns to you

Adding to that you like to fix

those who are insecure

and that pivots back to you

Ain't understanding mellow

Our thoughts return to us as that

Imagine

Oh thank God above

For your thoughts of me

Strong courageous secure

Ain’t understanding mellow.
