It mus be hard watching de walls tumble.
It must be harder listening to bull dozers rumble;
in the yard next door to see country bookie

To come home and tek dey modder out yo kitchen.
Ah know yo puzzled, ah kno yo hear the clock tickin.

So today I was wondering what if the ex of my best friend (if my best friend were a girl) were to approach me and say' "...let's get together, I think we can work"; what would I do?

Then, if he gives a good answer, and I am intrigued because I am attracted to him too then I would think of other things like:

 

There is probably nothing in life so wonderful, so magical, so delicious as the way you feel the first few weeks or months when you’re falling in love.

The world looks more beautiful. You’re filled with optimism and excitement about each day. Even food tastes more amazing (if you have an appetite, that is — you may feel you could subsist on love alone!). In short, each day is pure bliss. And all because you’ve found the person who really “gets” you… the person you were meant to be with.

Welcome, my friend, to The Honeymoon Phase.
