Thereâs something I need to say before you go
Something you probably already know
On the edge of my lips
Itâs on the tip of my tongue
âThree wordsâ that people use and say too much
Iâd say them, but I donât think itâd 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 youâre enough
Every second, every minute, every moment
A celebration each time you wake in the morning,
Each time you wake up
This âpresentâ- 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 weâre so blinded, when weâre all so chosen
Itâs amazing;
Trying to become something, because nothingâs worse than throwing life away any given day
Leave behind habits of the way I hypocritically think
Voice of reason reminding me âwe are what, we thinkâ
So impatient
Thinkinâ we sit here and loveâs 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
Iâm not the only thing that needs change
Need not throw life away- Write this so the generations-to-come donât feel to do the same
Let me tell you now kid
If youâre alive, youâve already âMade-it.â
Treasure your life donât take it, today
Just please stay
Because someone made you for a reason
Just be patient, babe
Thereâs someone out there that will think the same
Saying the same I need to tell me
Donât take it, donât do it, donât throw it all away
If times are hard now- youâll pull through it
If no ones there, if you feel like thereâs no way out-
Choose to stay
I love you, letâs believe, hold my hand and youâll see, babe
Its an exquisitely-beautiful kind of pain, one that weâve been living without each day
The one feeling in life, that should never go away
âLoveâ
Fills your heart to even think
Donât do it enough these days
Maybe this song can spark change?
Maybe the pattern is me
âLove,â and all this hurt will subside and come around- âcause you decided itâs all going to be okay;
Youâre here, right now
Itâs okay to not be okay, only for a day
Thereâs always sunlight after rain
With rain comes growth as we live through the days
Just know youâre the storm, and itâs your thoughts that potentially cause the cataclysmic-damage, babe
You: Whom I adore even after all the hazards
âCause Love is forgiveness; Whoâd I be if I didnât 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- donât forget it,
If you werenât here-
This place wouldnât be as great
Youâre the love of my life each day
No matter what you do, think, or say
Because regardless after all of it, itâs how you were made
So this ones for you, put the pills and guns away
Youâre the reason someone wakes each day
Donât throw it all away
Ease your mind, and choose âtodayâ
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
