If I had 60 seconds!

You stopped Time for Me

By Jay LeTron DobbinsPublished 11 months ago 3 min read

Freeze! The moment had motionless like Professor X rolling into the room! The only thing moving was my fast heart at rate of beating to doom!

Say what you want, but imma put in mine! I believe I met the woman who’s capable of freezing time!

Excuse me Miss, as you step of that elevator I didn’t know this building had that many floors. I thought Angels had wings and flew when it was time to do chores!

I know you’re busy with a very heavy agenda! If I could have 60 seconds, and let me explain the way of step out this building, you could cause all types of fender benders!

No, you can’t be this perfect more like Superwoman drawn on the page of a comic! It was told that planes flying past you loose power at mid supersonic!

However, if I had just 60 seconds to say! Please don’t go outside and freeze time today! I knew it was in the rules for black women to slay, but you didn’t have to bring a heat wave in March making feel like a South Carolina May!

Here’s my request to you! Can have 60 seconds, while many may say you sicker than the flu! Just give me this time and allow to make plans and the day do what it do!

Wait a minute! My watch stopped working! Miss please don’t go outside and freeze time for this short episode! I know you can’t help as your vibe has only one mode!

Fine! Go outside and cause all kids of chaos, minimize moment from New York to Ta-hause! Just let have 60 seconds according to my watch and there’s no need to ask for no more! Just be sure to return when you walk out that door!

Ok, here’s the deal, so please listen to the terms of my proposal! Go through you e-rolls-Dex and discard all of those names! If no one told you that you freeze time, those so-called pretenders should be put to shame!

No worries! Let me show them how to luv the correct way! Has nothing to do with roses or materials for day, to the next day! It has a great deal of giving words the mean the most! Things that are organic and sincere, that are far different than a shallow boast!

Time stopped the moment I laid my eyes on you! Now I’m sure you broke the world and no one knows what to do!

Last night I had a dream! More like wishful thinking! You gave the sexiest looking when you did your calculated seductive blinking!

I had sweet strawberries as we sat there lost in a blanket on some fresh cut public grass! I was in control until you turned around and gave an innocent moment with your azz!

Poured some wine to give comfort with our salads! The music was soft as we watched a random man create art in the park with some broken pallets!

Then a soft wind came by and pushed your scent into my nose! Couldn’t remember much right before the time froze!

However, that day at the park never ended! As we took in the breeze, the music and the random surroundings as our hearts blended!

You noticed an open mic and you gave me a nudge and told me to give it a go! I was kinda shy and selfish at the same time because it meant me going to the mic and leaving you so!

Stepped to the mic as I cleared my throat! Then I started to freelance as 60 seconds, the crowd thought I was the GOAT!
