We had no tree.
Not even a wreath.
We had no light shining.
Not even any candles.

But what we did have and shared?
It's more than gift giving to anyone.
We had love.

And that's something within all of us.

If blessed?
Stay humbled.
If God blessed, you.
Stay humble.
Even give him praise.

Soak not in being spoil or bragging or boasting to another that have less.
Just accept you one of the lucky one.

What been given?
Can be taken away in a moment notice.

My world stopped the moment you left.
My world stopped.

My world crumbled the moment you gone.
My world crumbled.

I could pretend I am strong.
That you leaving didn't hurt me at all.
But I be fooling myself(myself).

Cause my world stopped the moment you left.
My world crumbled.

The smile that once upon my face.
Has, now let a frown take its place.
And just the mention of your name brings on so much pain.

Because pressure comes?
I am supposed to hurt myself or run.
Guess what?
I'm not the one.

Maybe I could like many simply blame society.
Or pressure of my own making building up to stress.
Except, I'm not the one.

When I fathom of those that went through the struggle?
And travelled on further to succeed.
In this modern society they trap themselves by seeking to act like celebrities.
Well, I'm not the one.

I've got too much to live for.

I go to sleep in love.
Constantly
I wake up to love.
Immediately.

Whether just looking at you.
While you sleep.
Or talking to you when you awake.

Be not shocked.
Be not surprised.
They accomplished their goal and decided to move on.

Be not shocked.
Realized they are grown.

So, mom and dad called it quit.
Be not shocked.
They raised all you to adulthood.
And admit it?
They must have done good.

And now they want to explore different path separately.
They deserve the chance to search of ways to stay happy.
They are living in reality.
While you kids living within fantasy.

Forgive me, I'm not perfect.
I am simply pleading to you to forgive me.
Far from perfect many of us are.

A moment of joy disturbed out love.
But losing you would hurt me more.
Don't listen to many of your friends?

Pay close attention many can't keep a man.
Think and think hard within your heart.
