Book Excerpt

“Dawn, do you ever think about falling in love?”

“All the time! “

“You know love hurts, right?”

“Cassius, love doesn’t hurt, the ones that say they love you, hurt you. Love stands there perfect and takes all the blame.” I reply.

“You know what I think, Dawn?”

“What’s that?”

“It seems like since sex is easier to get nowadays, love is harder to find.”

Book Excerpts

Cassius Xavier Coltrane

So now, my quest for oneness with true love will begin eventually, but I need to take a much needed break to recoup. The last thing I’m going to do is rush into another relationship this time. Next time, I’ll take it slow and easy. You see, I’ve had college and grad school to do all of the running around and dating. By the time I got out of college, I was ready to settle down. I guess I am the opposite from all the other run-of-the-mill brothers. I actually want to wake up to the same person everyday for the rest of my life! I want to be able to share my hopes and dreams with a woman and not have to worry about her breaking up with me; only to share those same hopes and dreams with someone else. I want to be the last thing she sees at night, and the first thing she sees when God opens her eyes in the morning! I want God to put me to sleep and wake me up only to find my love in Eden with an Eve that God has prepared for me! Maybe this is my sleeping period. Maybe, just maybe, I will wake up and find my Eve, and forever lay with her and partake of her garden with the fullness of my heart! I want to make up songs with her name in them! I want trust! I want honesty! I want to be loved fully and completely!

Lies! Lies! All lies…right? I mean, come on! You mean to tell me that there is a sensitive brother that feels my hurt, and knows my pain? There’s a brother that just so happens to be going through the same thing that I am going through? LIES! ALL LIES! These are just pick-up lines, or are these little ways for him to get good with me and take advantage of the fact that I am emotionally vulnerable? Nope! I’m not buying it with all the money in this bank! Right now, I believe that my heart is like wet clay, and not really broken. The next time this heart loves, it is going to be built into a pillar of strength with a sturdy foundation. I am praying for someone who will be honest and true. I will never let someone turn this heart into a hollow shell that is set to collapse, but looks strong on the outside. My question for him: Is he building me up just to knock me down, or is he just a good brother trying to help build a sista up?
