As I was listening to "New Amerykah, Part Two: Return of the Ankh", the newly released album from Erykah Badu, I took a moment for reflection. There is a song on the album entitled, "Out My Mind, Just In Time".
In the song, Badu talks about a recent relationship and her views about where they went wrong, what she may have done wrong, and where they are now. She begins the song by saying she is "an undercover over lover..". I too, can admit to having the same sickness.
In my previous relationship I was so jaded by the idea of being in love that i though it meant exhausting my own means just to keep it. In turn, I think that it did the complete opposite. Luckily, I live with no regrets and was able to accept and learn that love is something that will prevail above material wants, and physical needs. Instead, it should force you to live in the moment, knowing that nothing lasts forever.
