When you told me you could see forever
Were you blinded
By my life, my friends
My backdoor bodega ends?

Or did you look into my eyes
And see the poet
Then. lost in my own description

Banned and exiled you stood by my side
The sole visage in which I could confide
All my sins and fears
I had held secret
Countless years
You opened the door that Nas could only crack
But now open, you are the cold wind that chills me
When you are gone I am haunted by the memory of your coming
A whirlwind that blows through my stack of leaves
Scattering what was once together to the ends of the yard
Redefining my concepts on how far I can stretch

I don’t know why when I wake, I can’t rid myself of your memory
But then again its only been 10 days

10 Days ago you looked into my eyes and said I do
love you, as you are and I’m sorry

I feel like a stalker in my own home.
When I call I am suddenly the one who wont let go

Um...I do like it.  But what exactly?  Did you get married?  It seems rather sad if you did.

Sometimes you can't change what's going to happen but you can change how you percieve it.

I really like it.  I think anyone who has broken up can relate to parts of it. But it's a bit odd toward the last, and somewhat confusing.
