I want everything but I just missed the plane And no one knows even if I explain Up a creek without a paddle Got no horse but I got a saddle Everywhere and you just can’t see me And someone else might just be me Its complicated…

Love Infinite OO
06/14/2016 By Joy Lynn Clark Several years ago I wrote, “Wanna have your baby (Love Infinite)”, During that time I was imagining all sorts of different relationships. I thought about what it would be like to have a planned pregnancy. It was my fantasy. My son was unplanned and I actually have no clue. I also dreamt about getting married. I wanted marriage in a big way. I still do. Having a baby with your partner is not supposed to be a fantasy. Love Infinite I’m thinking you should be my Permanent mate Loving you and all those Dominant traits You’re in my heart In a way I can’t explain…
