IF I TOLD YOU I LOVED YOU,
WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME?
IF I TOLD YOU THAT I CARED,
WOULD YOU EVEN CARE AT ALL?
IF I TOLD YOU THAT LIFE IS A JOURNEY,
WOULD YOU TELL ME THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW?
IF I TOLD YOU LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES,
WOULD YOU BE SURPRISED OR WOULD YOU ALREADY KNOW?
IF I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE,
IF I TOLD YOU THAT I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU,
IF I TOLD YOU THAT TOMORROW ISN'T PROMISED,
WOULD YOU EVEN SAY A WORD?
WOULD YOU HIDE AWAY FROM YOUR FEARS?
WOULD YOU STORE AWAY YOUR PRIDE?
WOULD YOU KEEP YOUR FEELINGS/EMOTIONS FROM ME?
WOULD YOU, EVEN IF I TOLD YOU MY LOVE FOR YOU IS TRUE?
LIFE GOES ON EACH AND EVERY DAY AND STILL PEOPLE DON'T KNOW, DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT GOES ON IN THERE LIFE. LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE. LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING AND IT'S A WONDERFUL EMOTION....A WONDERFUL FEELING BUT HOWEVER, SOME PEOPLE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. LOVE IS NOT A PLAY TOY THAT YOU CAN JUST PLAY WITH AND THROW AWAY WHEN IT GETS OLD. LOVE IS WHAT PEOPLE FEEL INSIDE THERE HEARTS WHEN THEY SEE AN ADORABLE AND PRECIOUS ANIMAL THAT THEY WANT. LOVE IS A FEELING THAT OVERWHELMES YOUR SOUL WHEN A BABY IS BORN. LOVE IS AN EMOTION THAT LET'S YOU KNOW THAT THE OPPOSITE SEX IS FOR YOU. LOVE IS ALSO AN EMOTION THAT HURTS THE HEART SOMETIMES BUT THE GOOD THING ABOUT LOVE IS....IT NEVER LEAVES YOU....IT NEVER LET'S GO OF THAT PERSON YOU STILL HOLD ONTO. YOU MAYBE LIKE "WHAT DOES THIS STORY HAVE TO DO WITH THIS POEM"? WELL, IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT. YOU CAN TELL "ANYBODY" YOU LOVE THEM BUT IF YOU DON'T MEAN IT....THEN IT MEANS "NOTHING". SOME PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO SAY "I LOVE YOU" AND WHY, I'LL NEVER KNOW. IT'S NOT HARD TO SAY. AS I WROTE IN THE POEM: "IF I TOLD YOU I LOVED YOU, WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME"; MOST PEOPLE YOU SAY THAT TOO WOULDN'T EVEN PHASE THEM A BIT ALL BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT BELIEVE YOU. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING THOUGH, I LOVE EVERYONE AND ANYONE NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE OF IF YOU BELIEVE ME OR NOT CUZ THE WORD OF GOD, THE BIBLE SAYS "TO LOVE EVERYONE". SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT THINK YOU CARE FOR THEM SO IT IS GOOD TO TELL THEM....TO LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU DO. CARE IS ANOTHER EMOTION THAT LET'S OTHERS KNOW HOW YOU FEEL FOR THEM....SO USE IT. WHAT DO WE ALL KNOW ABOUT LIFE? IT'S NOT EASY. WELL LIFE REALLY IS A JOURNEY...A JOURNEY THAT WE TRAVEL DOWN EVERYDAY ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ROADS BECOME ROCKY AND THE TRAILS GET HARDER TO OVERCOME. GUESS WHAT THOUGH? WE CAN OVERCOME THOSE OBSTACLES AND THOSE TWISTS AND TURNS. LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS BOUT LIKE IT MAY SOMETIMES SEEM. LIFE CAN BE A GOOD JOURNEY...A JOURNEY THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO ADVENTURE OUT ON YOUR OWN OR WITH THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE. LIFE IS LIFE AND YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST OF EACH AND EVERY DAY. YES, LIFE CAN BE FULL OF SURPRISES.....SURPRISES WE MAY NOT EVEN WON'T TO KNOW ABOUT OR THINK ABOUT BUT THEN AGAIN, THE SURPRISES THAT LIFE MAY BRING YOU JUST MAYBE THE BEST SURPRISE EVER. YOU NEVE KNOW. NOW YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT TRUTH AND HOW IT CAN AND WILL SET YOU FREE RIGHT? O.K. LET'S TALK. WE ALL KNOW THAT IT'S BETTER TO TELL THE TRUTH THAN TO TELL A LIE BECAUSE LYING CAN GET YOU INTO TROUBLE BUT ALSO SOMETIMES....SO CAN TELLING THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. SOMETIMES YOU CALL TELL THE TRUTH TOO MUCH AND HURT THAT OTHER PERSON SO SOMETIMES IT'S BEST JUST TO KEEP QUIET. TELLING THE TRUTH CAN SET YOU FREE BECAUSE THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IF YOU'LL GET TO TELL THAT PERSON WHAT WAS ON YOUR MIND LATER. HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT THINK ABOUT IT AT THE TIME...SOMETIMES THE TRUTH MAY AFFECT THAT OTHER PERSON SO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY. GETTIN' BACK TO LOVE. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN "IN LOVE" WITH SOMEONE BUT THEY WOULDN'T READY FOR COMMITMENT SO YOU MOVED ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND DATED SOMEONE ELSE BUT YOU WERE STILL "IN LOVE" WITH THAT FIRST PERSON ALSO KNOW AS YOUR "FIRST LOVE?" WELL....I HAVE AND I AM. I LOVE THE GUY I'M DATING BUT I'M STILL "IN LOVE" WITH THE OTHER GUY THAT I'VE KNOWN ALL MY LIFE. IT MAY SOUND CRAZY BUT IT'S TRUE. O.K., O.K., MOVING ON AND GETTING BACK TO LIFE AND LOVE. TOMORROW ISN'T PROMISED TO ANYONE AT ALL SO MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT YOU CAN WITH YOUR LIFE AND TELL THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE, YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS THAT YOU LOVE THEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS WORLD IS GONNA END SO TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL, WHAT YOU FEEL. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, "LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST OF EACH AND EVERYDAY." SOME PEOPLE....MOSTLY "MEN" LIKE TO HIDE THERE FEARS, THERE FEELINGS/EMOTIONS FROM THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE THEM MOST AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. GO ON AND OPEN UP AND TELL THAT PERSON HOW YOU FEEL AND WHAT YOU FEEL FOR THEM. TELL THEM WHAT YOU'RE AFRAID OF. QUIT TRYING TO BE MR. PERFECT, MR. I'M STRONG NOW, MR. MACHO AND LET YOUR THOUGHTS/EMOTIONS/FEELINGS/IDEAS FLOW. DON'T HOLD BACK....JUST OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND TELL THE TRUTH. GO ON....YOU CAN DO IT. PRIDE....YUP....EVERYONE GETS CARRIED AWAY SOMETIMES WITH THAT AND NOW IS THE TIME TO STOP IT. I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY ABOUT PRIDE BUT I DO KNOW THAT IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL, IT CAN GET TO THE BEST OF YOU. DON'T LET IT. TO CLOSE MY STORY, LEMME SAY THIS: "IF I TOLD YOU THAT "REAL LIFE" IS LIKE THIS, HOW MANY WILL AGREE WITH ME?".
