The Last Straw

Don’t Rush Just Love

So Many Straws Huh

A Lot To Choose From

Options

Could This Be It?

Felt That Touch

Surrounded By So Many

Standing Out Comes From You

Be Patient

Your Definitely Needed

But For Who?

Are You Better Than Any Other Straw?

For The Right Person You Are

Be Patient

The Last Straw

Doesn’t Always Mean The End Of The Stick

“Last One Ina Box Is The Worst”

Everything Is Made For A Reason

People Looking At You And Thinking

Nothing Of You

Because They See Better

How’s That Make You Feel?

Pain?

Misery Mixed In?

Like When Is It Going To Be My Turn

Why Should You Get Picked Right Now?

Or First For That Matter?

Ah

You’re The Best Thing Smoking

Understanding

But Also Meaning

Is Just As Important

As Much

When

Listening And Looking Are Involved

Remember That

Feeling Good Makes Things Come Together

Own That Look

This May Be Your Opportunity

See Em Looking?

Get Ready

That Hand Is…

Wait What Happened?

That One Was Made For Em

See How Happy They Are?

Can’t Ask For Anything More

What About You?

You’ve Been Patient Already

What’s A Little More?

Still Looking Clean And Intact

It’s Coming

See It’s Halfway Thru The Box Already

Every Straw Is Different For Every Person

The Same?

Every Straw Here Is Different

Needed Specifically For The Right Person

Be Patient

This World Is Big And So Many People Are In It

Best Thing To Do Is Love You

And Live

It’s Always Somebody Waiting For…

That Right Time You Know?

What Are You Missing Out On When Every Blessing Has A TimeAnd Date?

No Rush Delivery

Patience My Baby

You Always Save The Best For Last Right?

That Is True But It Can Be Called

Or Described May Be Better Term

As Just Making The Right Decision

Do You Want Somebody Saving You For Only Peace?

Or Chosen As A Test Drive

Hoping To Hope This Works?

A Lot To Process Yet

Understanding And Meaning Have Fallen From This World

Can You Bring It Back?

Patience Right?

Everything Happens For A Reason

Belief

Faith

That Special Person Will Always Be There

Don’t Chase

Don’t Hope

Confidence My Baby

Chin Up They Looking

But Mind The Business That Minds Yours

You Ok?

They Wasn’t For You

Someone Else Attracted Their Attention

You Still Holding On To What Was Before Huh?

The Past Is The Past For A Reason

Life

Gives You Different Seasons

Adapt To Them Accordingly

You’re Going To Be Fine

You Believe Right?

When Your Person Picks You

You Will Understand And Know

Maybe

Take A Nap?

Wake Up And Understand

Peace And Patience Are Key

Some People See Dots

Others See A Masterpiece

The Last Straw

Would You Look At That

Your Time Is Here

The Way You’re Shining In The Eyes Of The One

Your Understanding That You Loving Yourself

Everything You Bring To The Table Is You

Always A Student Before The Teacher

But Still A Master Of You

The Last Straw

Happiness Is Picked With You
