Only if...

Only if you woulda liked…no loved me

Only if I would have given you the key

Only if you woulda asked me

Only if we had no history

Only if I coulda told you all about me

Maybe then you would see

Only if you would have given me a reason

Only if it were a different season

I woulda shoulda coulda given you all of me

Only if you woulda let me in

Only if it wasn’t a sin

Only if you woulda hugged me and never let me go

Only then would you really know

Only if she wasn't there

Only if I didn't care

Only if you let me kiss your lips

Man, all those years we did miss

Only if we could turn back the hands of time

Only if you woulda let me shine

Only if you woulda cared enough

Only if I would have dared enough

Only if time could stand still

Only if we could have one more thrill

Only if you weren't an entertainer

Only if our love needed no disclaimer

Only if I would have stayed

Only if you would have asked me to stay

Only if ten years was only ten minutes

Maybe we would have a chance to finish

If “if” were a fifth we’d be drunk in love

We can’t argue with the man above

Only if your eyes didn’t tell all your secrets

Only if you weren’t my weakness

Only if I could erase all the memories

Maybe we’ll meet again in another century

Another lifetime and two different bodies

A brand new love at first sight

Perhaps then we’d get it right

Until then stay well my friend

I’ll like…love…like…love you to the end.

The Reunion

This past weekend I had the opportunity to celebrate my 15 year class reunion.15 years ago we sang our Alma Mater in the auditorium of Grambling State University. Many of us took the short walk to the yard of GSU to begin our collegiate experiences. Others chose to travel to various campuses across the world making bonds with people who were much different than the characters that they grew up around.

Upon reuniting on Friday we quickly saw that we were still those crazy kids from Grambling High. There was the beautiful cheerleader with the infectious laugh, the girl with the booming voice that moved the room when she spoke, the beautiful shy girl who was completely unaware of her natural glow, the guy that brought laughter to a room simply by saying hello, the guy that was always working on his next hustle, doesn't have a lazy bone in his body and inspires everyone he meets to reach further and work harder. The girl that dances like no one is watching and laughs like she doesn't have a care in the world. The guy that is still the only true genius I have ever met that can fix anything that's broken and do so with a humble attitude. The guy who moves people around the south with his love of music, the guy and the girl that have become the glue that connects us to Gods word so that we never forget that He is the reason for everything that we are and everything that we have so we should always acknowledge Him and thank Him in advance.




We are no longer those kids from the rural town in North Louisiana. We are much, much more.  I thank God for bringing us together. For healing our broken hearts, mending friendships, delivering us from unhealthy life choices, and allowing us to see another year. There were many that could not attend but they were never far from our thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for a great time class of 99. Keep doing your thing and hears to the next 15!

Be Blessed!
