Stay Sweet...

"candles fade like the dark
now I see how
lovely the feelings are
all the tender love you've given to me..."


Folks, I remember this song being among the most requested on the radio. Usually it was dedicated to someone special guys wanted to impress but there was an even greater reason to request it. You see you needed this on your mixtape if there was any chance of her describing you as "sweet" to her friends. Yeah... it was a simpler time.

Now I could continue complaining that things aren't the same anymore (and it's true when it comes to universal sentimentality) but the truth is that when I look inside... all this is just as "sweet" to me. I still find the greatest things in "the least of these". Many can quantify the practical well meaning gesture as having value but the one thing about always showing affection by being practical... is that's it's seldom ever sweet. Oh it will be appreciated in the moment... but quickly forgotten without heart. 

My loves, you find heart in the hand that's held and in the embrace that genuinely brings you relief. You find it in the security of knowing that the one you love has just made an indent on their side of the bed and you find it when you say "goodnight... I love you"... whether they're awake or not. Heart is everything... its what makes every little thing unique to the one you're doing it for. Tailor-made to last forever my beautiful people. Seek this above all else... stay sweet. I'm out...
