Just be Honest

Oh Jason Mraz, you're in my head! 

I'm in lyrical lust with your newest album, Love is a Four Letter Word. 

This song:  Be Honest

Ok go, go hang your heart on, any tree, 

You can make yourself available to anybody, 

Cause every livin' person knows you are a prize, 

Whichever way you go I'll be easy to find, 

I don't ask for much, just be honest, with me 

I don't ask for much 

Think of this song as a promise you can do what you want, 

If you decide you wanna move into a new stage, 

Deleting me from pages in your mission statement, 

My love is unconditional, make no mistake, 

I don't ask for much, just be honest, with me, 

I don't ask for much, just be honest, with me, 

Who we are, when love is what it wants to be, 

We are free, and we are, having the best day ever by far, 

Being treated to the light, like a superstar 

I can hold space while you see what your heart has to say about me, 

I acknowledge you for what you do to keep strong, 

There's no dotted line to sign away your freedom, 

I'll always stand beside you, don't get me wrong, 

I don't ask for much, just be honest, with me, 

Who we are, when love is what it wants to be, 

We are free and, we are, having the best day ever by far, 

Being treated to the light, like a superstar 

If I miscommunicated I apologize, 

If the picture that I painted wasn't very nice, 

My love is standing by you whatever you decide, 

I don't ask for much, just be honest, with me, 

I don't ask for much, just be honest, with me 

Who we are, when love is what it wants to be, 

We are free, and we are having the best day ever by far, 

Yes we are... Yes we are..

in the last few days, weeks, and couple of months:
 I got honest with myself and with someone else

appreciated what it's like to have someone stick by you

realized the importance of just letting go

embraced trusting that what will be will be 

made a lifelong commitment to remember to just take it one breath at a time

and...

I got this birthday message from my dad: 

"Happy Birthday.  May that young man (          ) see the riches of your person, not to pass by.  

Love, your DaD"
