It was like high school
The three friends who anxiously watched
The dates as they went down
Did they like each other?
Was there any awkwardness?
How about a first kiss?
Savannah set them up
Jenna and Anna conspired
Watching the developments
As if they were voting returns
Yes, Libby and Sayan matched
Cheered on by their fans
The proposal was a topper
For he handed her a Dunkin’ Donuts bag
At the end of the New York Marathon
In which he ran (fit dude!)
And hurriedly got down on one knee
When she became suspicious
As to why Jenna was hiding in the bushes with a camera
This is is a romcom in real life

If only you
Could see me today
You’d be impressed
Maybe even say you were wrong
There should have been a way
For us to be together
Just like the good old days

I wish I could call you
But that’s not practical
You’ve got a life with a family
It’s been too many years
But I know you would be proud to see
That I turned out OK
So I sent my best silently
By these words you’ll never hear
You may be far-away
But in my heart you are near

He stood in front of the apartment
Staring at her floor above
He wanted to see her so badly
So much was he in love
Tantalized, he fantasized
What their life would be
It was as close as he would ever get
In the land of make-believe

That was many years ago
Yes, he has moved on
But some days he still passes by that place
As early as dawn
And he remembers, and softly says to himself
“How happy were those days,
When we took the chance on our brave romance,”
Then he sighs and goes on his way

Lost love, sad love
Better than none at all
He still loves her so very much
He gave his all

He will always feel this way
One of these days he hopes to see her again
Still his one which makes him so lonely
God bless her, Amen

Mama said "You'll know."
She was right
There was someone meant for me
When it was right, I would know who was the one

I used to stand on the shore
Wondering where or when
Once I thought I knew
But she was just a friend

I thought time would pass me by
Life is like the wind
It goes and flows and can't be stopped
Each day different

But it's all the same when there is no one
To share a love together
I like spending time alone, but not every day!
And so it was for so long
Me, myself and I
Until the day my someone appeared
I can't deny

That I love her, that I know she is the one
Mom was right, I just knew
No more on the run
I knew then I still do
Love is surely fun

Love is our only power
It's either flight or fight when times get tough
Grab and protect love when you find it
Cherish it, keep up
Your resilience and determination
Go for it
Better hope than resignation
Don't quit
Life is full of ups and downs
Love need not be that way
Just a constant elevation
The knowledge that it's all OK
As long as the home fire is burning
As long as the trust is there
Love is the best and only power
It's the way we share
Love is our only power
What gets us through each and every day
Challenges we all must encounter
That's life, come what may
But with love, with its power
The struggle is never alone
With hand in hand and heart pressed to soul
You'll both make it to the safety zone

She does life on her terms
She figured it out
So independent
Moving about
Seeing the world
Friends everywhere
She’s got it together
Though no lover to share
She doesn’t worry
She does fine alone
It will all work out
As she does roam

Do your best
That’s the goal
And be kind
Then life will be happy
So I try
Every day I try
It’s no secret
It’s what you do
You know what?
It feels really good
Time is short
There’s so much to do
Moving ahead
Liking and loving
Living life to the max
I better
As I ain’t coming back
