HEART BURN (INTRO) 02:18

You ever feel that nervous feeling? Not exactly in your stomach more like the upper stomach right below the heart in the middle. Some people get it when they meet that special someone. Maybe their first date, that feeling when they finally asked for the number.... First kiss.... Maybe it was their first heist, or first rhyme. The time they made their first tight beat? Everyone's obessed with First. First Place. First in line, First to have this or have that. No. 1 ranked. Top of the tax bracket. A game of firsts... First step. First day of school. First car. First love. I wish we'd listen first. Perhaps slow down and stop to just look at all these people in a hurry. Observe. Listen. Think. Because first and foremost LOVE is the key to the world. Lets unlock the doors that prevent us from expanding ourselves spiritually. Believe in yourself and in everyone around us. Trust the world and emboss yourself in making it a better place. Try your hardest, give your all. Don't hold back or be shy. Lets fall in love with life shall we? Lets read and understand what we read. Lets gain knowledge and use it optimistically and to educate. A long time ago I fell in love with myself. Although to the naked eye I may just seem like a piece of shit loser. Some fat stocky, balding schmuck with man tits but hey, it is what it is. This love album is a bunch of stories about love. Some are happy, some are heartbreaking. The stories could be totally fiction, or they could be recollections of my own feats and follies chasing the dream. It seems love is what guides us. It keeps the single on the search and the heartbroken on the mend. It gives soulmates ecstacy and all of us comfort... knowing what lies ahead. But don't let love get blindsided. It isn't sex, it's undconditional. forgiving. unmovable. Love is like styrofoam, you can throw it away but it never disintegrates. Let love litter your soul until it builds up and overflows. Pours out of you. I love smiling and sharing a good laugh. Positivity, Determination, Effort and destiny are all element of LOVE working it's magic in our DNA. So if it ever seems like you've given up on life with no special interests,, ambitions, goals or loved ones. And maybe you feel the cold from a life full of grief, misery and regret. Maybe you can step close to the circle. Take a deep breathe and reach out your hand. And brace youself for what's to come because LOVE BURNS.

They tried to take away my heart Tried to dig a hole for my soul We start off fast but then it gets old, so old It rubs you the wrong way don't it That's when we just break up from it But those tears will run dry girl.. Trust me don't cry girl... I have never been a guy who left a girl high and dry I always hoped to walk away feeling eye to eye Unforuntately the truth is it's useless for a truce it's just the facts of life when something I had was cut loose ever since middle school in the room playin nintendo to college breaking up w/ babes who wanna break windows perfect ten? not all of em plus I'm getting rejected I'm kind of an ugly schmuck so that's to be expected But I met a girl once who left my stomach in a twist had my pulse through the roof she kind of felt like a gift that came from god she was an angel I was sprung like a spring box it didn't work out I hit rock bottom like a lingcod pretty soon she moved to take a shot at the big apple any chance of me and her was for sure dismantled depressed I kept chugging drinking record shoppping writing chopping beats and just keep the party popping Not knowing what the day is waking up at noon tight keep approaching different women but my game ain't poon tight laid back I'm still a friend a good laugh til the end then she came back, she came back and kissed me when I'd least expect it seemed I got what i wanted but the time had changed my motto see I wanted her yesterday but not today or tomorrow Those feelings really left and now it wasn't bout sex even for me that's unbelievable but the truth no less a kiss with no sparks is a flower that don't bloom a seed that won't sprout a bomb that won't boom I needed to find love but I can't read the signs girl it wasn't for you and I girl trust me don't cry girl They tried to take away my heart Tried to dig a hole for my soul We start off fast but then it gets old, so old It just rubs you the wrong way don't it That's when we just break up from it But those tears will run dry girl.. Trust me don't cry girl... There was an eight year swing before this girl felt me truly she wasn't your average Jackie she wasn't even a floosy I met her in seventh grade and had a crush of all pre-teens but everybody liked her she was everybody's wet dreams year after high school somehow i seen her at the mall working a jewerly kiosk still looking hella bomb got the number quickly, invited her to my pad that night we having drinks catching up sharing laughs. pretty soon in the room our lips touch we in touch full body massage she moaning like she never been touched we almost all the way when i hear a car pull up dang moms came home early now we gotta hold up I told her bet on the next time and a couple days passed she called me a couple times but I didn't call her back now I'm hoopin down the street when guess who shows up? talking bout why don't you call me? I miss you so much? I can't lie the whole exchange kinda threw me off cuz she all up in my face askin why I blew her off I said hold up this situations messing with my high girl this is good bye girl trust me don't cry girl.... They tried to take away my heart Tried to dig a hole for my soul We start off fast but then it gets old, so old It just rubs you the wrong way don't it That's when we just break up from it But those tears will run dry girl.. Trust me don't cry girl...

See we were caught up in the glam trying to be picture perfect The relationship was bumpy but we still tried to twerk it wasn't in the spotlight not behind the scenes but somewhere in the middle kind of inside the seems trying to get her out her jeans tryna get me out the game 2 people with different goals but somehow all the same one person looking for love the other wanted the sex the main thing our personalities determine what's next what's next is the text of the oldest book written the immature grow up the lovestruck get snake biten smitten kind of heart broke lost and at a cross roads just some young guns young dumb and all alone... my ohhh my why ohhh why? my oh my (dave neuhaus voice) why ohh why (bob marley or reggae sample) I said my oh my why oh why do you gotta hold on tight babe you need to just let go.... Why she wait up all night hoping that he'll come home? she told him have a good time as he walked out the front do now it's like 3 and she still tryna stay up called a couple times and he answered then he'd hang up now she getting mad, and her minds running risky he probably cheating on her with a slutty club prissy little whorin ass chick prolly blowing all his brains out the type of ho that let the dude unzip and pull his thang out imaginations gone wild not girls gone wild he's just chilling with the boys playin pool and freestylin heard his phone ringing the music too loud tried to say he'll call her back when the club getting out to the homies for a night cap times flying by fast pretty soon passed out on the couch and just like that couples go single trust becomes deception from head over heels in love to no connection it was 3 years ago after their fight over hanging they started driftin apart so they made a new arrangement he went back to mom's she kept the condo in tact taking a break but it wasn't breaking the camels back a couple weeks go by they on the low but no so sly everybody know they hooking up but nobody know why they made it seem a secret no need to hide it they been together forever why even try to fight it? maybe raise the excitement? spice up the enchantment they acted so far apart but have never been more attracted to each other since they separated now they talkin bout engagements sand beaches and sons names ready to be one flame before they made it public they planned a weekend getaway got a spot by the beach she went early to decorate had it planned with his fam to surprise her soulmate his birthday everyone will be there it'll be so great we was there when the door knock made it game time a man's demise when the police are the "suuuuprise" on stormy rainy nights a mind races like a waterfall he was speeding down a windey road when he lost control spun out slid around and pounded in the guard rail fish tailed a couple times and stopped in the ditch trail thought he had made it home free but he was stuck and couldn't get out couple hours later they found him but he already bled out devastating news for the lady that he loved to the parents that rasied him shoot everybody was numb so all future talks of having kids and growing old now were put on hold some things you can't control she'd never forget she stayed bitter and disengaged a recluse of sorts she'd never get re-engaged or even date I hate to say that's the way she was inside so in a way.... that night she also died.

I met her on an Easter Sunday Spring Time Fling Time She smelled like berries and everything just seemed right I never had a girl before her Now the butterflies are breezing in the sunlight it's just right We talking on the phone til it's way too late even when we hang up I just can't wait til the next time we get time to spend with each other then just like that you lose her ya loser! See I was barely 15 kind of living life free just an old fashioned guy looking for L-O-V-E a funny guy nice dude kinda shy kinda rude immature but got some smarts not athletic but got some heart acting hard was the motto mid 90s keep ya guard up watch ya back shut ya mouth don't stir up funk you don't want to start up Kind of rough growing up and I did the best I could to mesh playing hoop outside my house when I met this girl she was so fresh I really knew her from middle school but we never clicked like that we were friendly like yeah we'd kind of talk but that was then and it's in the past but here she is and she looking fresh and her smile is taking away my breath I got butterflies I don't know how to talk I'm trying too hard maybe I should back off? but she feeling me for real and I got her number now were talking and it feels so damn good if it's puppy love I'm glad I got it.... I met her on an Easter Sunday Spring Time Fling Time She smelled like berries and everything just seemed right I never had a girl before her Now the butterflies are breezing in the sunlight it's just right We talking on the phone til it's way too late even when we hang up I just can't wait til the next time we get time to spend with each other then just like that you lose her ya loser! This girl was a mystery but I needed no explanation We'd talk on the phone for hours til like 3 in the A M I felt like I really had something She'd kick it at my pad something was bound to pop off and pretty soon we in my room hot and heavy but let ya dirty minds drift It wasn't sex but still magical we had our first kiss I was so nervous pit in my stomach then we touched lips... If I'm falling in puppy love guess what I just did I met her on an Easter Sunday Spring Time Fling Time She smelled like berries and everything just seemed right I never had a girl before her Now the butterflies are breezing in the sunlight it's just right We talking on the phone til it's way too late even when we hang up I just can't wait til the next time we get time to spend with each other then just like that you lose her ya loser! Now this girl has me love struck On the low and I'm sprung but we young and free on the come up we go out she's all done up head to toe flawless can't stop looking at her non stop Pinch me am I conscious? damn this girl is so hot We having fun double dating with my dude and her sis Hit the dollar movies tryna go out and catch a flick rolling mid 90s wahtever in a 6 due 6 I had the world in my palm fingertips to the wrist but the jist of this story is I got blindsided I took too long to commit and this chick decided to date another guy and the girl broke my heart into bits just an empty feeling in a hallow dark hall We were bumping R Kelly when she let the truth fall This dude asked to be her man and she said that he can and I'm the odd man out WE didn't pan out It seems I should've acted out not let her leave but I did I was shocked kind of stunned just lost in the wind never anticipated a devastating end but through the thick and the thin we've always remained friends I met her on an Easter Sunday Spring Time Fling Time She smelled like berries and everything just seemed right I never had a girl before her Now the butterflies are breezing in the sunlight it's just right We talking on the phone til it's way too late even when we hang up I just can't wait til the next time we get time to spend with each other then just like that you lose her ya loser! Probably no one is listening this deep in the song anyways, so I wanted you to know that I never have lost that feeling I felt when you liked me. You were and are so cool, I can't say I've ever stopped having these feelings for you, but I know now we're all grown and "we" has come and gone. I admit though, I did have my chance once and because of whatever bullshit was going on in my mind, I threw that chance away. We were both grown too and we went out, had a blast. That was my chance to have you but so much was going on in your life. You just got out of a relationship and I could feel you had a lot going on emotionally. I wish I was more mature then because I threw away a chance at love with a girl I considered the "woman of my dreams" at one point. Nowadays I sit back and admire the strong woman you are, secretly I hate on the dudes you date, but don't worry I keep that on the low. Definitely I can't say this to you without stirring up the pot, but I love you girl. Probably have since you broke my heart in 1996 hahaha. I remember once somebody told me they didn't think you were beautiful. I wanted to punch them in the face sooo bad. To me you've always been beautiful and even moreso as the days pass. Here's the thing, keep respecting yourself and never settle for less , and I will punch one of your boyfriends in the face if they don't realize how blessed they are to have you... Take care...

I should have known from the get we weren’t two of a kind They say opposite’s attract but not in our lifetime Here I am in the dark reminisce on my faults Tried to flip the script so much it’s like I did summersaults You see we met on one fine sunny day in the summer In June, you were so cool and then I asked for your number We connected, except we couldn’t talk in the open We went out a couple times but then I left for a moment. Six months would go by before you called me by chance I was hanging and banging not even thinking romance But there you were, grown so much even dialed my digits Got your own A-P-T and called me up for assistance. Going to school, had a ride and furniture to fill it Had the fridge full of heinekin ask me if I’d sip it Ohh yes of course there we were it’s like the spark in the dark you were the light inside my heart but I was playing the part we started meshing went out a few times and started sexing pretty soon we exclusive like some TMZ segment see you stayed true and pure expected that in return but I was stuck inside a blur trying to act like I wasn’t yours I lied and acted like an ass left you hanging a time or mass Just my luck I lost you twice but both times I won you back And then you hooked me like a fish, I let it go and fell in love You were mine and I was yours and what’s next is just because…. i LOVE YOU GIRL...... IT'S JUST BECAUSE..... i LOVE YOU GIRL.......... IT'S JUST BECAUSE I LOVE YOU GIRL... V*2 Okay Now it’s official we a couple doing those boy-girl things Off to the beach walk on the sand find a pearl in the grains Snapping pics just left and right it’s like we own the whole world Our hearts intersect in a straight line we aint’ going in circles We spin circles in time snapshots in chronologic Photo albums of good times even the bad I never wanted See we had that good connection like Verizon cellphones Swept horizons as a couple like we walking on clouds though You met mom’s we cooked her food, fried up crab with eggs At this point the love is shaking and I ain’t no playing games At the same time I still left you all alone at night Once you asleep I got out, left South bound on I-five I left you hanging so many times, lied to you and did you dirty Screamed and shouted called ya name out while claiming you couldn’t hurt me But it hurt me to be like that cuz I loved you but I was con-fused Trying to sit back with my fellas acting like I can’t trust you But I was tainted from the past even though you were mine and all mine You wanted love, true love not just temp or part time All my barriers blew down, we had fought til we fell down And you free’d me from the curse and now babe I’m spell bound V*3 Damn, It’s kind of crazy how time flies I was young now I’m 29, 4 years ago we were brand new I wasn’t thinking bout wedding rice Like day and night It’s like water and oil, they say it’s like Sometimes you ponder and toil over bullshit til your fuse ignites Fortunate I am, we could work between our madness bouts We figured it out every time we thought we skidded we could hash it out Went to Vegas and you know they what happens stays in Vegas Luxury suites at the Tropicana watching you win back all our wages Making esteemed memories you became my queen, my everything Even though it was long distance we tried to keep it clean. Road Trips to Ocean Shores, long rides in rental cars Fun times with digi cams and sometimes we’d over charge Sometimes get cabin fever, argue, leave mental scars But always the end result we’d comeback with open arms Make up to break apart and make a break up again But it only drew us closer to creating a kid We bought a spot, I moved in and we were one step away And next thing we had a son one beautiful august day

I wanna take her out on the town when it's cold watch her grab her arms and shiver when i give her my coat I'm having unpure thoughts and I don't understand why? I shouldn't be thinking about her I already got a wife But it's true I can't undo the fact I'm feeling like this what can I do she prolly got a lot of dudes on the list a few times we caught eyes and my stomach got a pit she's so bomb cool and calm basically the perfect chick but here I am old and taken not available for nathan if I did make a move then I'm an ass no mistakin take me to task yeah I'm thinking prolly tell the wifey also just because I felt a vibe trying to see what's up if possible lost to you, I'm losing you crazy I never had you though maybe it's all in my head that you digging me too but I have to know if this is LOVE, because I just don't know two hearts as one they beat and move so slow the silence in the room keeps us at ease refreshing the soul like a cool summer breeze she plays the game and understands the politics her voice is sexy plus her polished lips she knows how to move and I'm watching all her steps somehow not at eye level, I'm focused at the hips She's a mexican bombshell silky brown skin hell I'm all up in her trance and she done it so well. I'm having thoughts in my head thinking bout you and me be clouding my vision messing up the clarity I'm having unpure thoughts I'm attracted to your skin even though the hearts pure it's also full of sin you're a dream girl matter of fact my dream girl Smart and attractive plus can curse like the Black Pearl Vibrant plus you got style have me gushing like a hydrant when I see you all the while I'm trying to deny it one day I'll confess it really doesn't matter if it makes a holy mess gotta follow the heart desires don't be scared don't be scared i'm prepared to jump out the plane parachutes and flares don't you dare turn away I'm spilling this from the soul you're the type of woman I'd wouldn't have a problem growing old with and I truly wish it deep inside my heart but now i'm crushed cuz one day I know we'll never hook up ...us... I'm having thoughts in my head thinking bout what could be be clouding my vision messing up the clarity I'm having unpure thoughts and i don't know where to turn even though the hearts pure it's full of impurity Everytime I see her the day gets brighter It makes me wonder how obvious it is I like her It's kind of hard juggling these feelings deep inside when you know you got a spark and wanna see the fire rise chemistry endlessly she makes me squeemish definitely the type of dream I wouldn't wanna be pinched and i hope she feels the same way but you know how that goes everybody wants somebody else broken heart woes taking that risk would risk more than a friendship pouring your heart out to your boss creates more than one exit I'm confessing I'm reading body language like it's braille because I feel it, really real it makes the back tingle this is destiny like Mi Amore in my cucina I could get along with her no doubt I'm a believer I felt a connection, not perfection but something right when I met her put me at ease like God please don't let her leave my life don't let her. I'm a dreamer reaching high and she's probably out my league But I'm a dreamer and having her is what I need I seen a lot of things til the point I'm seeing three Love Burns burns beyond the third degree I'm having thoughts in my head thinking bout you and me be clouding my vision messing up the clarity I'm having unpure visions I'm attracted to your skin even though the hearts pure it's also full of sin I'm having thoughts in my head thinking bout you and me be clouding my vision messing up the clarity I'm having unpure thoughts I'm attracted to your skin even though the hearts pure it's also full of impurity

You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself Gave encouragement when my life was on the shelf Gave me nourishment A mother to her child Unconditional Love Is what I'm talking bout Mom I love you from the bottom of my heart Raised me to a man now I'm reaching for the top There's no words really to desribe the love we got And everybody loves you as well Mardell!!!!! seq 2: You are the coolest mom so funny and energetic get along with everyone and you had an only son and that's me you passed down good genetics the ability to love and not be caught up on the pathetic seq: 6Class act and I'll never back track Never backed down from tough cats with they puffed chest act Respect that Plus she always stands her ground understand how to forigve nowadays that's profound I was a little dude rising and you worked hard for us always handled business didn't make life porous Whether the plymouth van or that one Ford Taurus we were always rolling somewhere with no cares that's called eternal life because time stands still My mom Mardell could help me climb every hill and hurdle over any obstacle and of course I did and you gave the foundation to pass to my kids you're my heart mom! I'll love you always and forever true indeed You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself Gave encouragement when my life was on the shelf Gave me nourishment A mother to her child Unconditional Love Is what I'm talking bout Mom I love you from the bottom of my heart Raised me to a man now I'm reaching for the top There's no words really to desribe the love we got And everybody loves you as well Mardell!!!!! I gotta say sorry for the times I got a smart mouth thought I knew it all but didn't know what I was talking bout You sacrificed a heap for me Lost a lot of sleep for me kept us off the streets surely you knew I wasn't walking out Great early childhood sports and going to work with ya if I could think of a perfect mom you'd be the perfect picture had so much patience once i grew to a teenager caught up in the social scene act now and think later probably caused some hurt hanging out too late at night didn't emphathize your worry but you'd still say goodnight I love you see ya in the morning emotional rollercoast teenager with no warning you're so patient and always kept it honest opened our home to my best friends in the process more than a few called our home home once or twice and everyone should aspire to be like you in life You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself Gave encouragement when my life was on the shelf Gave me nourishment A mother to her child Unconditional Love Is what I'm talking bout Mom I love you from the bottom of my heart Raised me to a man now I'm reaching for the top There's no words really to desribe the love we got And everybody loves you as well Mardell!!!!! This isn't even a song it's more of a confession You've been my best friend since the day of my conception 9 months in the womb established the connection and we're here for eternity this love equals purity down to scratch my savings if we need a new roof Laid the torch down and melted soles on my boots Let me make a booth in the garage plus put up a wall a full studio wouldn't happen without Moms put up with our racket even rapping on a work night always come and swoop if I was stranded at a work site always have my back and I always got your back too Anytime I had a problem all I had to do was ask you we talk about anything, the vibe flowed flawless that's why it tore me up moving out that one August finally left the nest now I'm 50 miles away we don't spend the time we used to I yearn for those days But now I'm grown on my own two kids and a wife Gotta handle biz like you did once upon a time hard work and sacrifice you taught me so calm no matter how far I live I got your back mom!!!! You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself Gave encouragement when my life was on the shelf Gave me nourishment A mother to her child Unconditional Love Is what I'm talking bout Mom I love you from the bottom of my heart Raised me to a man now I'm reaching for the top There's no words really to desribe the love we got And everybody loves you as well Mardell!!!!!

TRIED TO WRITE A LOVE SONG 03:34

I tried to write a love song I tried to write a poem I tried to talk about love I had it all wrong I wish I had the good life cut without mistakes Somehow I always foul everything all up okay? These ladies don't chase me They look then look away But once I start talking they breath I took away See I'm no eye candy the cover of my book is old and kind of raggedy kind of that's my look Because I tried to fall in love once I tried to drop my guard put my heart down on the door stop and listened to my heart But my innocence was taken for a roller coaster ride everytime my heart was broken I died deep inside You see I tried to keep composure act Like I'm a rock nothing gets me down I never go in shock I couldn't write a love song I couldn't write a Limerick I couldn't read the vibes they were giving me to hit it Body language Mute Blind dumb and deaf I would talk a lot of game girls would put me to the test I was just a teenager young without a care wanted a girlfriend was beyond unprepared Chorus: I tried to make a love song but I couldn't find the groove I tried to keep my head up cuz I knew what I had to do. Ya see, love is a trip sometimes a trap some people disappear and they never come back So I couldn't write a love song Nah, I just can't do that. Every time My eyes open a fog seems to set in I thought that she liked me we had no connection I swear she gave the eyes I know how to read the hints she's one of a kind just like your fingerprints I asked if she'd like to go out get a bite or get a drink I asked her for her number she didn't even blink When you get a blank stare she don't care I get it now girl don't sugar coat you don't have to let me down I'm cool with straight and dry keep it simple say the facts rejection is the motto always happens it's the past I tried to write a love song I tried to get a grasp stuck my hands in the hornets nest while dealing with some wasps I tried to switch my game up start again from scratch stop being caught up and learn to be a catch gotta a little better at sticking to my ways, learned to love myself and not give in to these dames took all the pictures I collected burn em up still a soul lost looking for eternal love Chorus: I tried to make a love song but I couldn't find the groove I tried to keep my head up cuz I knew what I had to do. Ya see, love is a trip sometimes a trap some people disappear and they never come back So I couldn't write a love song Nah, I just can't do that. just a stupid dude try to have my cake and eat it inconsiderate of they feelings so they never let me beat it had a lot of sleepless nights second guessing all my moves thinkin bout how much I lost when I had nothing to lose I tried to write a love song I tried to pen a phrase Thought I'd been in love when it was more like a daze kinda heart broken lost within the maze walked around aimless trying to ease the pain I tried to write a love song I tried to write a poem I tried to talk about love I had it all wrong feel it in your chest until you hear what can be heard got it to a crisp because the truth is love burns

about

This love album is a bunch of stories about love. Some are happy, some are heartbreaking.

The stories could be totally fiction, or they could be recollections of my own feats and follies chasing the dream.

My problem is....I keep looking for something
something feels unfulfilled.
what is it that I'm looking for?

She moves and I look her way
try not to be so obvious
But why I'm looking at her when I already have what I need
I just don't know...

Something feels missing for me
Maybe I was left behind or haven't met the potential I think I have
Now I'm in the middle phases how can I make a change?

I don't feel trapped the way some people need an escape
I just need more freedom
More free time to gather my thoughts
chase these dreams I have in my head.

Money Money Money
some want it, some can't spend it
I just need it to pay my bills and feed my kids
is money control or a control freak?

I sit here and feel a piece of me is missing
like a bottle thrown in the ocean
whoever finds that bottle can you please send me the message
I need to know what it says

Emptiness can also be a feeling of determine
My passion extends beyond keeping my job
keeping my friends or keeping a lover
In fact, I want to accomplish too much in this short life span

Everything is politics these days
You get hired because you had an "in"
others are always looking for a way "out"
I just need a straight answer from someone

Complications are dominant
Even writing this is too complicated
Another place, another time
sometimes it was just wrong timing?
doesn't make much sense to me now...

From a seed, to a thing with lips and eyes,
pretty soon crawling around exploring
running down the block ignoring
driving the car hanging out way too late
Then you're grown
Welcome,
now go to work with the rest of us

My time is consumed by a job.
Effort for pebbles
the carrot in front of the donkey
chasing an hourly wage for the promise of bliss.....when I retire

Maybe once we finally reach that peak
meet that goal we're searching for
or finally secure our finances and have the ability to release ourselves from a job
We're just too damn old to be adventurous or have the ability to chase those "other" things

This is my life
This is your life as well
Lives have lived before us and others will come to pass afterward.
Feelings were felt, times were spent and memories were created.
And then they were left in the past and withered away.

To die doesn't mean being forgotten or not important anymore
but we would be naive to think that civilization will keep some kind of sensitive place in their hearts for us after we're long gone and buried.

So I'll take these feelings I feel
Memories I've made
Times I've spent
and retrace my existence
to a sunny day.

The smell of summertime fills the air.
The warmth. The positivity. The outlook.
And I'll stay there.
Happy.
Perpetual.
Free.
Holy.
