Journey Thru Love

About this ebook
Funny thing about Love is that we rarely see it coming especially for the first time. It sidelines our hearts and re-positions our minds.
The journey of falling in love is a road we all travel and discover the happiness, the pain, the countless emotions that unravel.
Journey Thru Love takes you down my path of falling in love for the first time.

I want to dedicate this book to the events and person that inspired these words and more importantly to my Lord and Savior who so graciously embedded this gift of writing within me and allowed me to discover it at an early age. Without it, I wouldn’t be who I was, who I am and who I will be.
—Alexis P
I would also like to dedicate this book to my dear friend, forever and always, my pheeny. Even though you are not with us physically you’ll always be in my mind and in my heart.
I love you

Introduction
Everybody remembers their first love or being in love at any point in their lives. The rush you feel when it sidelines you out of nowhere, the pain you feel when letting go. This unconventional love story all began in college, yet the memory of it all will last my lifetime. It’s not your typical love story, but sit back and enjoy the ride. Everyone’s story is different this is mine.

Early Morning Thoughts

The question of why I’m here is still the same,
And the sea of answers still remains.
I know what attached me to you like cancer,
But how and why, I still don’t have an answer.
I’m laying here thinking damn,
Here I am yet again, lying in your arms and you’re still not my man.
We’re living this subliminal life as I fall asleep in your arms,
Still skeptical at the level at which you can harm.
I awake and you’re still asleep next to me, I’m looking, trying to figure out if I can give you my heart to keep.
If this relationship
