about

Another track from "As the Mandarin Sun Sets"...in honor of the Qixi Festival/Double Seventh Festival aka Chinese Valentine's Day (which is August 7th). Dedicated 2 U and the memories gained from Millennium Park.

lyrics

Cali’ raised but Louisiana
in my blood veins
Every day, I’m reminiscing
on the love gained

Some pain, some loss
some rain, some frost
Many Miles From Where U R Sleepin’
I came across

Our lost picture from
our last evening
Though maybe dreaming
this image of us adorns
my glass ceiling

In my chateau where
I sip 红酒 (hóng jiǔ)
Reminiscing on the past
and where the lovers go

You see, I’ve tried moving on
but was proven wrong in the process
Logic would state “wait”
but this song was the constant

Message vibrating in
my heart of hearts
I thought those that told
stories were a part of art

But, sometimes, stories
are built on lies
I tilt the line to find
the real divine

But, still
I’m reminded of
what could’ve been
Still, I’m reminded of
what could’ve been

In Millennium Park…

I still feel U in Millennium Park
I still see U in Millennium Park
But still, I still feel U in Millennium Park
I still see U in Millennium Park
But still, I still see U in Millennium Park
I still feel U in Millennium Park

But, still, I wish to be a Millennium Item in Millennium Park

I had a coworker who said she
couldn’t date another coworker
while talking about Netflix
chilling, watching a show murder
our serenity, energy felt
a little erratic
neurotic, toxic masculinity I tried to
whittle and damage

Down to the science
down to a tee
Under the weather constant
Shanghai, remember me

Confidently, I told she
how the hataz stall
polluting our worldview
like the last straw

Never speak of the devil
so Prada in the details
If this is it
my mantra is to be well

And the elephant in the room
is the bracelet that I gave 2 U
How could love disappear
when we made music

Trying to stay fluent
in the land of the Mandarin
Handling all the stress
understand that I’m battling
with ghosts

Folks know that
I’ll invest in faith
Time’s running away
like an expensive date

So, who do U believe in…?
I believe in U…
She asked, “Who do U believe in…?”
I said, “I believe in U…”

She laughed and smiled only to tell me she knew this was me all along…Meant to stay “Ghost”…Meant to stay alone…
