Moon River.

Angst because why not.

[ Terry Richmond Drabble, with my OC Venus.]

I stood across the room watching him maneuver through the kitchen. I could see the heartbreak forming in his eyes in every glance. His chest rising and falling with each rapid movement he’d make.

“ you can’t come and go as you please Venus. I’m tired of this charade. “ his voiced cut through the air like a sword.

“Just…stay. For a breath. Could we pretend you love me the way I love you. “

I sighed deeply. A few years ago I met Terry. We were young and I thought he was beautiful. Things got deep on his end quickly. But I couldn’t feel the same. Not when my world was so different from his.

I remember the look on his face when I told him this was as far as we would go.

5 years ago.

“I left her”. Terry said

I blinked slowly “ you left her…why”

“I can’t get you out of my mind Venus.”

I shot him a disapproving look. “ that’s…unfortunate Terrance. “

“It’s Terry “ he frowned.

“ I think it’s time we set some boundaries. Terry. “

He blinked at me, confused.

“ I have no intention on making this a thing. You wanted a relationship so you got with Denise who is actually very sweet. You can’t come back and attempt to convince me to do something I don’t want to do. “ I had to be stern. He needed to know.

Terry walked toward me slowly. “ why are you doing this V ? Why can’t we just try? You’re so quick to shut shit down. You can’t be judge and juror in my decisions.” He held my face in his large palms. “ say something please.”

I pulled away and stared him in the eye. “ why are you tormenting yourself with matters of the heart ? Maybe I should go. Coming here wasn’t a good idea. “ I grabbed my bag and started towards his front door. I felt Terry grab me by the hand. I didn’t turn around.

“ I’m doing too much. My fault that’s on me. Just don’t go Venus. “

So I stayed. Now here we are back on the same topic 5 years later.

Present time

“Am I that horrible to love Venus?” Terry mumbled.

“ No.”

“Then what is it? Just tell me. “

“You’re just.. not the one.”

“You’re lying”

“I’m a liar” I shrugged

I heard Terry sigh, “ stop…stop with the excuses ..stop fighting me Venus.” He ran his hands down his face. He looked exasperated. I felt guilt bubble at the bottom of my stomach, slowly creeping up searching for its freedom.

“ I can’t love you Terry..not the way you need. Not the way you want. I apologize truly, I let you buy a one way ticket to my heart, not telling you that the destination isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I’m so sorry. But you’re not meant to stretch my heart strings and surely not meant to stretch my legs past your shoulders at 4am. Not anymore. This has gone on long enough. I just hope we can remain friends. “

When I finally looked at him..his eyes were red. Mouth agape and his entire being cried hopeless. I walked up to him “ Goodbye Terry.” I whispered. I made my way to the door feeling numb. I did what needed to be done. I almost left till I heard him speak. In a faint whisper he said his last words to me “ Thank you..for telling me. Goodbye to you too Venus.”

That was the end, I walked out of the door yet, that was 30 minutes ago. I found myself sitting against the wall on the outside of his apartment. I replayed all of our memories. What was it about Terry that made me so rigid. Was it me ? Have I convinced myself I am not worthy of his love ? I stayed there for a bit, a familiar melody began to play from his home. Our favorite song.

My dream maker, my heart breaker

wherever you’re going

I’m going that way

Two drifters off to see the world

Such a crazy world you’ll see

We’re all chasing after our ends

Life’s just around the bend, my friend

Moon river and me.

I closed my eyes. Maybe next lifetime.

"At the end of the day, nothing is more powerful than rap music. I don't care what it is. We are the culture … respect the art form” — Kendrick Lamar wins Song of the Year for “Not Like Us”

I don't usually use my page for this stuff, but I just have to say that I had to unfollow a couple of these Aaron Pierre blogs, cause some of ya'll really showed your delusional asses today. Please, stop crashing out over a damn celebrity. We all like and support this man and love the fact that he seems humble and reserved, but make NO mistakes, this man is a celebrity, and being a part of the industry comes with certain expectations, rules and stipulations that you may have to follow especially if you want longevity in your career, that includes PR relationships, false stories, keeping up appearances, etc. It sucks, but that's Hollywood. We do not know this man personally; he keeps his personal life very private and he keeps his interview answers very simple and brief. Please, stop believing in your fantasies and accept that every one is human and your fave (regardless of whom that may be) could potentially be the polar opposite of who you assume they are.

I’m still crying. When a project is a true reflection of one’s soul, when it comes from a place much deeper than it usually does the outcome could never be overlooked. Cowboy Carter and Alligator Bites Never Heal have gotten me through 2024 from my lowest point. To see Bey and Doechii win for being true to themselves is so beautiful .
