As Time Goes By
Phora Lyrics

I love you like you'll never know
I cherish and care about you more than you can ever comprehend.

I know we had our differences, but girl it's time to let it go
We may have had conflicts in the past but it's time we put them aside.

'Cause right now is when I need you the most
I need your support and presence now more than ever.

Things ain't always what they seem until you see em' up close
Appearances can be deceiving, real understanding comes from looking closely.

So can you see it?
Are you able to see things in the clear and understand the truth?

If I said you were the one, would you believe it?
Would you believe that you are the person I am destined to be with?

If I told you love is pain, would that be something you'd agree with?
Do you agree that love can bring about sadness and hurt?

Just leave it and see where life takes us
Let's not force anything but let circumstances guide us.

I know you've heard a lot of shit
I am aware that you may have listened to many negative things.

But I promised it, no one's gonna break us
Despite what others may say, we will face challenges together and stay strong.

Lying on the ground, looking at the stars above
While on the ground and gazing at the stars, I ponder about the world above.

Wondering if the angels are looking down on us
I am curious if divine entities are watching over us.

It got me wondering if Lalo can see me
I am pondering if my departed loved one can see me from the afterlife.

'Cause if he could, he'd probably be proud of me, life isn't easy
If he could see me, he would be thrilled with my progress despite the difficulties in life.

I know it, especially when your loved one's coming and going
I understand it well, especially with people coming and going from our lives.

I'm having trouble with my feelings, can't show no emotions
I find it challenging to express my emotions and feelings.

Gave em' everything I had, you can call it devotion
I dedicated everything I could to show my commitment and loyalty.

Did this for my people and my family, I hope that they notice
I did it for the sake of my relatives and loved ones, hoping that they may take notice.

Yeah, but as time keeps passing
Despite everything, time continues to move forward.

Everything changes, that's the way things happen
Change is an inevitable part of life.

I used to hate that I loved you so much
At one point, I had trouble accepting my love for you.

'Cause when I felt like giving up
During moments of weakness or failure, I fought against the urge to let go.

In my mind you were stuck
You were always on my mind, I couldn't move on.

Stuck in my mind, shit I just couldn't leave you behind
I couldn't go a day without thinking of you, you remained in my thoughts.

Till I realized that all I really needed was time
Eventually, I came to understand that all I needed was time and patience to move on.

'Cause time heals everything, even broken hearts
With time, one can heal from even the worst wounds and heartbreaks.

Run my fingers through your hair, till you kiss me in the dark
I stroke your hair with my fingers until we're passionately kissing in the dark.

Form my hands around your waist, tell you everything's okay
I pull you close and reassure you that everything is alright.

Listen, all I need is you girl, so tell me that you'll stay
All I require is your presence, will you promise to be with me?

In touch with the soul, intact with the spirit
I am in contact with the core of my being and remain unbroken.

I wrote this song for you, I just hope that you hear it
I composed this track with you in mind, I hope that you take notice.

But if not, at least I know I tried
If you don't hear it, at least I made the effort to convey my feelings.

Throw my ashes in the ocean, feel my spirit in the sky
When I pass away, scatter my ashes in the ocean and sense my essence in the heavens.

Sometimes I sit alone, all alone and wonder why
Occasionally, I sit in solitude and wonder about the mysteries of life.

Why life is such a motherfucking bitch and then you die
Why life can be rough and challenging, and eventually come to an end.

Well, shit I guess nothing's guaranteed in life
In the end, we can't be sure of anything in this lifetime.

I just hope you think of me before you sleep at night
Before going to bed each night, I hope you remember me.

I'm depressed, the doctor just says I ain't eating right
I am feeling low, and my medical provider believes that my eating habits are the reason.

But I feel like it's something more than that
I know that there is more to it than just that.

'Cause it hurts to know that Brian has cancer
I am in pain knowing that Brian is suffering from cancer.

'Cause that's what my grandpa died from
My grandpa passed away due to the same illness.

So many questions with no answers
I have many inquiries but am bereft of solutions.

Guess these are the things you just can't hide from
It seems that no matter what, one cannot escape from these things.

But I don't wanna hide no more
I don't want to keep secrets or conceal anything anymore.

I don't wanna be shy when I look into your eyes no more
I vow to be confident and straightforward when I gaze into your eyes.

I don't want nobody else 'cause baby I'm all yours
I don't want anyone else, I am devoted solely to you.

And I'mma let it be known from CA to the 904
I'll make it clear from California to Florida that you are mine.

Everyone needs someone, no one wants to be forgotten
Everyone requires companionship, nobody wants to be abandoned.

'Cause we all need someone to talk with
Because each person needs someone to communicate with.

Someone that we can share our thoughts with
Someone we can communicate and share our thoughts with.

2 AM cartoons, Rice Krispies and hot chocolate
Late-night cartoons, cereal, and hot chocolate reminds me of childhood comforts.

What I'm tryna say is that somebody for me is you
To put it simply, you are the person for me.

It was our destiny to meet, I know you see it too
It was fate that brought us together, and you feel it too.

But as time keeps ticking away
However, time continues to move forward.

I love you like you'll never know until the end of my days
Until the end of my life, I will love you more than you can ever imagine.

Yours Truly
Sincerely, me.
