All Mine (The Kalloways)

by Khadijah J.

"It's funny how if a man provides their woman with protection and safety, how it changes her. If a woman feels safe and at ease with you, you can tell.

See, niggas always hollering about women aren't submissive, but what do you want her to submit to?

"But if you have a woman that relaxes in your presence. She doesn't question you. She trusts you as a man to lead her and never lead her astray that right there is your woman. It's up to you as a man to stand ten toes down in your role as a king that protects his queen...

And if you're putting it down right... that woman ain't going nowhere.

You can't begin to heal until you're honest with yourself. If you don't keep it real with yourself, who will? Why did you push everyone away?"

"Everyone thinks grief is black and white, a straight line, and that time will heal all wounds. While that's true in some instances, in this case, it isn't. You'll never get over losing your loved one. How could you? It's impossible, right?"
