Before she runs into the arms of another man

She's sliding further and further away from me I can feel it, I am losing her Another man is rolling a carpet for her She is about to wake up from my fall and run to him

I said some nasty things to her I can still hear my pricking words to her loud and clear The ones I said before she hang up the call Our love is not a paradise any more

As I heard the phone connection cut off As I threw away the phone down to the floor I remembered how warm her hugs are How her lips curve when she tells me she loves me

I looked at my image in the mirror, I saw horror A vein was popping on my face, anger And behind that anger, there was fear I was scared that I am losing the woman who loves me

That's why I am here, in this car, driving as fast as I can I don't care whether I break any traffic rules The biggest crime would be to lose that woman I will never be able to live with myself

Before she picks up that phone and calls another man Before she sends another man a message as she cries Before she runs into the arms of another man, I must see her I should be the man to comfort from the pain I have caused

Both my hands on the steering wheel No time to wipe the tears mourning on my face I remembered the sweet days we used to steer our love together Honey, don't let go of our steering wheel, please don't

I can hear it, I can hear my heart telling me I am stupid Stupid if I lose her, I can never find another like her A woman doesn't lean to another man for comfort out of choice She's often pushed away, and the other man takes advantage

I park the car, I open the door, my body collapses on the ground But I get back up, I get back up just like our love should Honey, we can get back to how our love used to be Baby don't go, don't turn your eyes from me

I reach the door, open it with the keys, I hope she's home My hand trembles at the thought of her hating me I run to the bedroom, I find her there on the bed Her face on a man

Her face was on a photo of a man, that man is me Her eyes were swollen, she'd cried to sleep on my photo I woke her up with a kiss, eyes opened, she saw me Jumped on me saying "I am sorry!!", I said "I am sorry too!!"

In my new book, MANHOOD SERIES, I talk about the benefits of a man loving his woman and how it starts by the man loving himself. Men are capable of loving.

In my other book, WOMANHOOD SERIES, I talk about how to inspire love in a man and how a woman carries so many blessings for herself and her man.
