People are constantly waiting for something more,
Something better,
Then what they have now.
But why,
Why are people constantly trying to find more,
Experience more,
Live life differently?
When what they could be doing
Is appreciating what they have right
Now.

She inspires me to raise my voice,
and let myself be heard

She inspires me to stand my ground,
to find my own place in this world

She inspires me to chase my dreams,
and never be deterred

She inspires me for every day,
she's as free as any bird

There was a flower, blossoming on the shoreline. Beholding the serenity of the seas and criticising the rise and fall of the indomitable tides.

It swayed in the balmy air and loathed the dusty storms.

It adored the sun's radiance and mourned the moon's norms.

It extolled the aesthetics and execrated the wrongs.

It denied the nectar but appreciated the honeycomb.

There was a peyote, living in the dreary sands. Mesmerized by the great dunes, standing like a tomb.

Relishing the scanty rains with much aplomb.

It grows its roots in the search of water,  many call it a coxcomb.

Such is the folk, unaware of the real beauty for so long!

love pulls visions of colour
and
strikes yearning with fire
screams appreciation
with hints of adventure
yet
it leans heavily on a fist of risk

Excuse me, sir. Can you take our pic....* (phases out)

This what happens when you cross my mind
I get in my feelings, yeah
I start reminiscing, yeah
If this comes back around, ****t I want it to be different, yeah
Waiting on a sign,
Probably time, for a different prayer.
"Lord please save her for me, do this one favor for me."
I had to change my same ole ways
Things got complicated for me.
Hope she's waiting for me.
Which ever way she goes - I'll make sure to write this song
That's why I'm saying the things, that I say, this way
That way, I know you can't ignore me.
But - oh, oh
Yeah
just give a little of you in exchange for me...
Just need a little of you in exchange for me.

For me...Break it down -
Yeah, like this - check it

We use to lay up - sip relax, share some laughs and talk life
Running my fingers through ya hair until you'd fall asleep at night
Drop a movie line - let me try to guess it
so many fun events
Every moment was a blessing
jokes for days - you were always messing.
Remember eating at our favorite spots
holding hands in the park
I could look at that smile forever
still remember that being my favorite part.
Yeah
But behind every pic- I knew in your mind you had questions.
Should've listened to the details when you spoke
Should've paid more attention.
Learned to be a little more quite - just let her finish her sentence.
Wouldn't of hurt to ask what you liked
let go of some those fights
instead of always wanting to talk about it..
just live and enjoy those nights
Crazy how losing someone can make you see all your wrongs from your rights.
But our chemistry was fire and love oh so real
Give me at least one wish and I would go back and do right on those ordeals.

You think - ****...what could I have done?
While it's true opposites do attract
Doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.
Gotta learn to swallow ya pride - chase it down with a cup of acceptance
You can lower yourself and be bitter or look at someone for all their blessings
Followed up by a confession
I took for granted all that I had
I let my emotions overtake my motives
I let my pride get real bad.
What's an early text or one mid day? When I clearly was on my phone.
What's the reason for complexity? When it was simplicity and fun that you condoned.
Why didn't I ask more questions? Maybe I was afraid of the truth
Why didn't I just do the right things? If so, id probably still have you.

Another man will hold her hand
A different face in her pics
Of course you wonder why it ain't you
But just remember, you were part of the cause of this
Feelings change like the weather
Over time both of us will be better
I just knew I had to write you one last time
Express a few things in this letter.

Vividly remember every moment
Some things you wish you could've changed.
Sadly, nothing stays the same.
Disappointment leaves both people in pain.
No use in reminiscing on the past
If you truly love someone with full respect
You let them go and hope they find happiness on their new path.
Appreciate all they did...and look at the growth you've gain - that will forever last.
Change is inevitable - but it can't take away the memories - the love and your impact.
