Tamia released this song titled “Still” in October 2004.
Back then and even now the lyrics are as true as ever!
I will type some lyrics in bold print and then add my comments in regular print.
“Usually when two people are together
For a long time things seem to change
It’s been said that nothing good lasts forever
But this love is better every day
We get all excited inside,
Every time that we get alone
He still got love in his eyes,
And I still got love in my soul”
Chocolate and I will celebrate 17 years together this month as well as 7 years of marriage! When you’re together for this long, a lot changes not just physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We are not the same 2 people who started courting in 2000, we’re not even the same 2 people who got married in 2010. We’re better! Better versions of ourselves for ourselves and each other!
“Our love gets better every day!” The love I pour out in my blog comes from my soul and is the same crazy love I give him, and when Tamia sings ” he still has love in his eyes” that is what I see when I look at Chocolate. If there’s one thing that I am absolutely sure of, it’s that he loves me and that is an amazing feeling that I pray for every one under God’s creation!
It has been important that we constantly communicate our changing aspirations and acknowledge the growth in one another.
“We never gonna break up, we’ll be always there to make up
As long as we stick together we’ll climb higher
I’m gonna ride with him to the wire,
Our love is never gonna end,
We’re on fire”
A topic that the mister and I have discussed a few times is how to get through those tough times that comes to us all without throwing in the towel. If we ever give up, we’re not just letting each other down, we would also be letting down our family and close friends who believe in our union but most importantly to us; our nieces and nephews who are watching and learning from us as well as their parents.
I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again more times after this; you have to have each other’s back! You feel “on fire” when you can rest peacefully knowing you are not battling your obstacles alone! You feel empowered and valued like nothing can stop you ❗
“We go through problems just like everybody else,
But I really don’t mind(I don’t mind), Cause it makes us keep it fresh,
Now its sadder than an argument, is the thought we may have never been
He is my lover, my baby’s father, my lifetime partner and my friend
Still the man of my dreams,
And still the man for me,
And I’m still in love with him, so (deep)deeply,
I think I’ll sing it again now”
We are not perfect at all! There’s still moments in some days I wish he’d stop breathing (just for a little while, you know; enough to scare him straight) and then there’s times I want to punch him in his jugular,like the other day when he was suppose to be contributing to these love days on day 5, he decided to play on his phone instead. 😕…so no day 5 post!
How you react in those moments of frustration will determine how long the two of you stay stay in those bad times…
Like the song says, I don’t really mind the bad times because without them, would we really appreciate the good ones and I’d take those problems with him than the option of having never met him to go through this journey of life with.
My FAVOROTE part is the last part.. Still, the man of my dreams, Still, the man for me, And I’m Still in love with him!!!! What if we spoke that over our husbands every morning and every night? Whew, we could probably move mountains!
Speak life over your man! He’s yours, and how you make him feel will determine how he makes you feel!
