Lover of my mind
I guess we're back where we started,
Sweet lover of my mind
I saw you in a weird place yesterday
Not in my dreams
Not in my thoughts
Not in my day dreams or writings or when I ought
not be thinking of a man that muddles my mind quite like you do
I saw you in the goddamn movie theater parking lot
Why were you even in this city, man?
You know how bad that cusses with my head?
I got to thinking that not even the winds of fate could keep us apart
Then I got on a train turned so far away from you that I feared
I might have bungled my chance to tell you
I love you
You are the lover of my mind
Maybe you already know that though
When I saw you standing so close I thought my fevered mind
had conjured up a vision reminecent of life and love
and a future with ginger hair
Then you turned around and I knew I wasn't insane
Cause you said Hi.
Hello, my lover
Lover of my mind
You touched my hand and I decided that I wasn't crazy
I just loved you and that was all
Dear lover of my mind
I said I was sorry
but you waved that away,
said we didn't need it
You just pulled me close and held me there
I never left your cradling arms I don't think
Like ghost whispers on my lips
you remain
Lover of my mind
You claim me and I have no qualms
I put my stamp on your chest and you don't protest
so we belong to one another now
and you know how black people are about their stuff
I missed you so much,
You know
You missed me too
This is the way I hope to die.
I like you so much
The lover of my mind
