(Hook)
I give my time, ’cause that’s how I show I’m here
Speak life in my words, make sure my message clear
I do what I can, not just what I say I’ll do
Put hands on your back when life leanin’ into you
And when I give, it’s never just things I bought —
It’s love with a purpose, not love that you caught
That’s the way I love — in all five forms
Even when I’m tired, I still bring warmth
I don’t need nothin’ fancy, just moments that stay
A couple hours with my daughters would silence my day
No phones, no rush — just presence, just peace
That kind of time don’t cost, but it feel like a feast
And I talk love fluent — not loud, but deep
Say “I’m proud of you,” often, not just when it’s sweet
’Cause I know how it feel to hear nothin’ at all
So I make sure my words be a cushion when you fall
⸻
(Verse 2 )
I don’t wait to be asked — if it’s broke, I fix
Show love in the little things most folks miss
From makin’ the plate to holdin’ the door
To rubbin’ your back when your body feels sore
I ain’t afraid to reach, to hold, to stay
My touch say what my voice sometimes won’t say
A hug after hell, or a kiss through the fight
My fingers got memory — they know when to write
⸻
(Verse 3)
I don’t gift for applause, I gift from my soul
Every token I give got a story I hold
A note in the bag, or a frame from the past
Not about the price — it’s the moment that lasts
I give what I wish I had comin’ up
A chance to feel seen, and a reason to trust
So if my love ain’t wrapped the way others expect
It’s still whole, still real, still full of respect
To my kids—
I know time ain’t always on our side,
but my love don’t clock out, it don’t hide.
Every missed moment just adds to the fire,
And when I hold you again, it’ll stretch higher than time ever could.
To the woman walkin’ with me —
You’ll never have to question if I care.
Not ‘cause I say it loud, but ‘cause I prove it quiet.
In the ways I show up, in the ways I stay.
In the way I love you like you’ve always been safe.
To the world —
This ain’t soft, it’s sacred.
And it’s real.
This the way I love.
No mask, no middleman…
Just me. Still standin’. Still givin’. Still here.
