THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US
BY: Jamaal Lovett
With all due thanks and respect
to God. Through him all things
are possible, and too Jamari, Jamya
and all my family and friends
who showed me how and believed
in me, and to anyone who lives with
the spirit of belief thank you.
Forward
for a moment in time
now that we have the chance to speak
let me be first say
i never forgot those thoughtful summer nights
and those pleasent filled summer days
it happened so fast
with no time to spare
but we still found a way
to show that we cared
i know you must be close
to being who you said you'd be
it was great to hear that when asked
you still remembered me.
I don't want to disturb you
or cloud your beautiful mind
but at times i do think of you
and that moment we shared in time.
If i'd known that all this time the joy of my life was the love inside
i would have went outside to reveal my pride so reality and i could coinside
Vision: I think that if we look close enough and as wide as we can believe, there
is something that connects us to a spirit of love that is time everlasting and aligned with the stars in such a way that the reveal time and at the same time repeat history
Forever and a day
after forever in between then and tomorrow
comes a moment of reflection a moment that`s borrowed
forever is here as I figured it would
yesterday was ours as it always should
this morning when I awoke I heard my self say
Im not sure which means more forever or today
not now love
I feel you here but not now love
I know you care but not now love
shouldn’t I see you first but not before pain
should I wait with an umbrella but not before rain
could you know me with out love
can you hear me with out love
do you believe in us with out love
can I love you, not now love.
I know what you think without love
but don’t be afraid to feel without love
what am I feeling right now
another chance at something I shared wouldn’t be to bad
if the love I feel right now didn’t grow so fast
back then things flowed more at an even steady pace
but as a man, now there are things that can’t be replaced
see back then everyday was only a beautiful smile away
but now beautiful smiles find my heart in need of a safe place to lay
yesterday my love was strong and as swift as they come
today I analyse through the night and assure the morning sun
tomorrow I’ll rise to meet the silence of sound
but nothing compares to the patience needed to plant a seed in yesterdays ground
platonicly yours
I’ve seen you before
and I still don’t know your name
I’ve felt you before
and it never fells the same
from where I stand the view is simple and plain
from where I’m from my eyes hear through their strain
time after time I stand in between doors
but for truth and spirt I’ll stay platonicly yours
as a world of beings we are divided. there is a clear difference in our discusions about spirituality and the state of the world. our talks never conclude with a definite resulution so afterwards we all return to our corners of belive to devise a new debate. religion is only a method to acknowledge the presence of god. which is evident by the convictions in which we devote our lives to. god is not a median. he is the almighty source by from which all things came. as people our focus should be to develope the best possible union spiritualy so that we all my opperate on a esteemed divine level as our religuos leaders do. god sees us all as equals under the same light.
we have to look to him to unite us all in this spiritual battle against evil. there is a common ground but the division of our religious preference is blocking that glorious union. there will be a second coming but i believe spiritualy is the basis not religion. this spiritual coming is of god with no preference to any religion only to gods people which is all of us. i also belive that this spiritualy is in us all but hasn't been awaken. as leaders which we all are. i feel it is our job to teach each other and elevate to a state of conciousness within our selves. not thinking that one is greater than the other or has a clearer possibility of beliefe. but that we all have the same oppurtunity with in our selves because jesus paid the price for it. somehow god has a way for us to live as a greater unified spirit than what exzits today.
i never thought it would be so hard when everyone likes you
it does feel good that feeling inside
another day conquared not a step out of stride
the sun has shined again; my smile full of pride
everything is a challenge; i have god on my side
when i make it home most times; questions run through my mind
does she see what i see; is love on her mind?
is being myself the same thing as falling in
was i too smooth with my tone? did i assure her the win?
there's another pretty face the same welcome in
late night coversations; a chance at a new friend
with all the comotionion i can't break ground
is it my distant behavior; my trips out of town?
what ever it is i've found this too be true
i never thought it would be so hard when everyone likes you.
you take everything away but promise the world
reaching for the moon is not what it seems
as you climb through the stars remember one thing
as you stretch out your arms i think you should know
as soon as you open your hands wide many things are let go
my pride was never fuel to get me through hard times
my heart was never enough to bring sight to the blind
i will proudly give everything without a promise from you in mind
but not if the cost puts my spirit in a bind
patients is the key to any door you wish to find
the moon is the reality of learning to value time.
, LeHold Upt Me Think
Did I see what I think I just saw?
Does she know what she just did?
At first I didn't notice, but after a while
I've come to appreciate the essence of your smile
Calm as a breeze,
Wide as the Nile
The comfort that it brings
Can be felt from a mile
Thank you again
For helping me find peace
And understanding every once and a while
Its ok to have something sweet
yeah though i walk through the shadows of death
if you sit back at life and gase at it all
you'll come to understand why great men fall
it's not the money the girls or the fame
it's when you open your eyes and theres no one to blame
if you live long enough you'll change inside
you might lose a dream you may sell your pride
all of these things are what keep you alive
but the shadows of death rely on them too strive
when you get to this point where lonlyness resides
look past all your worries and continue to rise
search deep in your heart with your head to the sky
open your eyes spread your wings and learn how too fly.
money
the root of all evil
or the value of my dreams
the center of life
or the most misunderstood thing
your promise is real
your strength is a lie
though you try hard to rule the world
you can't bring it life
don't get me wrong
i too use you to survive
but without the o i see clearly
you could be e n my at anytime.
my perspective of life
at times i wonder and ask myself why
i can never measure things up no matter how hard i try
i looked to the sky and god gave his sigh
it's not your perspective but the way you reply
the wound of uncertainty
you cut like a knife
but you don't have a blade
you bring doubt to my heart
when i need not be afraid
you work hard to confuse my logic
without being paid
you cast gray over my dreams
even though a plan has been made
i would take something to heal me
but i remember what he said
trust in me and believe
the only thing that's certain is the dead.
if i knew
i know it would be easy to love someone like you
probaly even easier to fall
i know to keep you i would have alot to prove
and i would graciusly excuse them all
i know that if i had the chance my heart would not be denyed
and if you gave me your heart for just one day you'd put your fears aside
i know how you feel about us men and some of our questionalble ways
but if i knew it was ok to love i would bring an unquestionalble end to those days.
