Not Meant To Be

The Lamp —

Salam Alaykum, people! I know it's been a while but I've got another rap coming up. This is one is different, it's not as Islam related as the others, at least not directly, but Inshallah you'll like it anyway. It's called Not Meant to Be.


Those eyes look right into mine

Your smile makes the room proudly shine

Your hair feels way nicer than aloe vera

Cheeks so rosy, no one can ever hate you

I want to tell you it's all OK

That I'm just glad for today

That I'm happy for us to do it this

That nothing will shake this momentary bliss

But that smile of mine is about to die

Looking up and gazing down, I let out a heavy sigh

I'm stuck for words, don't know how I'm gonna say

That I'll be lying if I told you I wanted you this way


I'm not the sort of guy who's just there for fun

Who only wants you for one thing then does the run

I'm for commitment, respect and treating you right

It's all or nothing with me, I know this isn't light

This isn't easy, but easy isn't always the best path to take

Cherishment over fun is my belief, it's what I'll stick to for everyone's sake

I think it's time to say goodbye and see

That maybe we're just not meant to be


I don't want to hurt you, make you sad or cry

But I believe in honesty and integrity, I'm not going to live a lie

Short term has caused so much anger and pain

From fun to flagging, from lust to loathing hate

I won't ask you to change your life, or your way of thinking

Because I know that will just send us sinking

But I need you to accept that this isn't for me

So let's leave with our dignity


I'm not the sort of guy who's just there for fun

It's all or nothing with me, I know this isn't light

Cherishment over fun is my belief, it's what I'll stick to for everyone's sake

I think it's time to say goodbye and see


It's clear that we're nowhere near the same

Got to say that this is fairly tame

While you don't want it, I want to marry

But take care, we've still got our dignity

Thanks for the comments guys.

Wednesday, I just want you to know that you're not the girl the narrator is talking to. I just want to make that obvious, LOL!
