Unexpected Pass

by A. Blossom

“As far as I’m concerned, this is my baby now. I don’t care who helped you conceive it. God put y’all in my presence for a reason, and I’m not about to fumble this.”

“We can go as slow as you want to go. I’m down. I already know how this love story ends.”

“Naw, nigga, don’t come at my girl like that. Control your situation and leave mine alone. We’re good over here. Phileigh good. Your baby good. A real nigga stepped up. Don’t call my phone again, nigga. And don’t make any more pop-up visits to see her either.”

“Grief doesn’t mean you stop living and being happy. It doesn’t mean you’ve stolen from the dead. It’s okay to celebrate this life and your accomplishments. You’re here for a reason,

Everything I never knew I needed came wrapped in faith, fate, and an unexpected pass I was lucky to have caught.
