There’s something I need to say before you go
Something you probably already know
On the edge of my lips
It’s on the tip of my tongue
“Three words” that people use and say too much
I’d say them, but I don’t think it’d be enough
I want to live day-to-day for you-
To express my love
Want you to feel that you have everything
Want you to feel you’re enough
Every second, every minute, every moment
A celebration each time you wake in the morning,
Each time you wake up
This “present”- You have it, you own it
Just grab it, and hold it
I love being with you; Want us to be closer- I just want you to know this
Bigger-picture so misunderstood, so latent
Please stop feeling like you go unnoticed
Funny we’re so blinded, when we’re all so chosen
It’s amazing;
Trying to become something, because nothing’s worse than throwing life away any given day
Leave behind habits of the way I hypocritically think
Voice of reason reminding me “we are what, we think”
So impatient
Thinkin’ we sit here and love’s absent, as we pass by the days
Same thing day-to-day, and the monotony of routine drags out the day, always the doing the same thing
I’m not the only thing that needs change
Need not throw life away- Write this so the generations-to-come don’t feel to do the same
Let me tell you now kid
If you’re alive, you’ve already “Made-it.”
Treasure your life don’t take it, today
Just please stay
Because someone made you for a reason
Just be patient, babe
There’s someone out there that will think the same
Saying the same I need to tell me
Don’t take it, don’t do it, don’t throw it all away
If times are hard now- you’ll pull through it
If no ones there, if you feel like there’s no way out-
Choose to stay
I love you, let’s believe, hold my hand and you’ll see, babe
Its an exquisitely-beautiful kind of pain, one that we’ve been living without each day
The one feeling in life, that should never go away
“Love”
Fills your heart to even think
Don’t do it enough these days
Maybe this song can spark change?
Maybe the pattern is me
“Love,” and all this hurt will subside and come around- ‘cause you decided it’s all going to be okay;
You’re here, right now
It’s okay to not be okay, only for a day
There’s always sunlight after rain
With rain comes growth as we live through the days
Just know you’re the storm, and it’s your thoughts that potentially cause the cataclysmic-damage, babe
You: Whom I adore even after all the hazards
‘Cause Love is forgiveness; Who’d I be if I didn’t see you in me?
Can we all do the same?
So take my hand and get out of that headspace
Because this is all so short and I only want to see a smile on your face
I love you- don’t forget it,
If you weren’t here-
This place wouldn’t be as great
You’re the love of my life each day
No matter what you do, think, or say
Because regardless after all of it, it’s how you were made
So this ones for you, put the pills and guns away
You’re the reason someone wakes each day
Don’t throw it all away
Ease your mind, and choose “today”
Live now, because I want to see you tomorrow,
And I want to see you, more than ever.
A little faith to get you through the sorrow.
My love is something you always have, no need to borrow- All we need to do, is be better at giving it away
Make the world a better place
Love you, more than you love me
Just know this, and it will all be okay
Love you always, and all-ways
Love knows no and all Space; Distance is only what we potentially create
Stay with me, we have the power to choose fate
Just be patient and take my hand as I Am
I want you to do the same for me
Namaste
