notebook...

NOTEBOOK
By: Chrisette Michele


I'm feeling you, you feeling me
But still we can't be together
I got a feeling
You got these same feelings
Too bad we can't feel 'em together

I sit on my bed and wonder
How it'd be if you were mine
I think of you like no other
Here's what I do every night...

Write in my notebook
X's and O's
Beside your name
Only my notebook knows how I feel
My heart is on every page

Do you have any idea
How hard it is to act like you don't mean a thing and
This chemistry between you & me
I wanna share with everyone
All I can do is just write down every emotion I feel
Hopefully one day you'll find out
My love for you is real

Write in my notebook
X's and O's

Beside your name
Only my notebook knows how I feel
My heart is on every page


So many times I must have loved & lost (I've patched up every one)
So many times I've let love walk by (I've let love go by)
This time's it's going to be different (it's gonna be different this time)
Take my notebook
Read everything in my mind
So I...

Write in my notebook
X's and O's
Beside your name
Only my notebook knows how I feel
My heart is on every page

Don't Know What To Do

Living between a rock and hard place
Sometimes I just don’t know what to do
Pissed
Over the power that he still possess
Even after all of the years that have passed
At a loss
About where my head is
I went from being ignored, to being choked,
to being stared at from behind the bushes
None of that made me happy
Just made me move further away
Confused
I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel
But now I am not sure which tunnel to follow
Sad
That I still look in the bedroom on the first floor
For my first welcome home greeting of the day
Wishing
That my heart could slow down
And that my head could get clear
Long enough to focus
And shake him off
Tired
Of not knowing what to do
Screaming inside for some direction
For a map

1. I am a serious creature of habit during the work week. I wake up the same time every day, eat the same lunch, and pretty much do the same routine every day.
2. I walk around writing poems in my head all day and most of them never see paper.
3. I can’t take my lap top to class because it’ll distract me the whole night. Case in point last night i spent the whole night on yahoo chat and watching gamecast while something was occuring in front of the classroom.
4. My head is not built for hats (thanks daddy).
5. I am slightly obsessed with Yoplait yogurt.
6. I’m one of the uncoolest people ever lol.
7. I love my lunch time ladies they make the work day more bearable.
8. Nothing is better than a good kiss.
9. Cursing makes me feel awkward.
10. I don’t like the taste of dark chocolate, but I love the look of milk chocolate (wink).
11. I can’t stand disrespectful children and adults that allow them to be disrespectful.
12. My favorite roc-docs are “The Jacksons: the American Dream” and “The Temptations” I could watch those two movies ooops i mean mini-series all day.
13. I’ve never been envious of other females…except two. My sisters. My entire life they have commanded attention just by showing up.
14. I am a modern woman, feminist, bra burner or whatever you want to call it but I am a traditionalist too in some ways.
15. I’m a realist with high levels of optimism.
16. I read the sexiest blog today titled “I f*#*ked her with a Pen” I literally broke out in a sweat over it.
17. It only took two years, but I think my co-workers finally understand that I am not big on morning conversations. If it’s not about work business, holla at me around 10 am.
18. People think I am funny, but I’m really not.
19. You can often tell my mood by what music I am listening to. If Winehouse is in the air pass me a cup of bleach lol.
20. The ink and the blonde streak…shockers to say the least lol.
21. I hate the taste of coffee.
22. Most people who think they know me have me boxed in one of two extremes and are very far off from who I really am.
23. Some of the greatest people in my life I have met by accident.
24. Contrary to what I’ve been told, I strongly believe that my ideal man does exist (KG with a Cornel brain AKA a brainiac with swag). I think that I have met him, now whether that particular he is for me is another thing.
25. Ice cream is best eaten outside in the cold.
