Those that know me well, know that I'm a words girl. Words give me all the feels. They motivate me. They lift me up and bring me down. A well placed word will melt me like butter. A poorly timed word, will set me off in a panic, rage, puddle of sadness.
Words of Affirmation is my love language. I get high off praise. It makes me want to do more, be better, give you the shirt off my back, bend over backwards....kneel at your feet.
I'm not always the best at choosing the "right" words all the time and at times I get wrapped up in the day-to-day that I get lazy and don't express myself in those words that I, myself, cherish so much.
A dear friend shared this song with me this morning. Now I'm listening to it on repeat. Makes me smile...big ol' smile.
And timely reminder to express myself to the ones that mean the most. And to choose those words with care.
"The Difference"
I'm tired of sleeping on us
I'm over dodging this crush
I'm sick of waiting 10 minutes just to text you back
So you don't get to thinkin' that I'm too attached
I'm more than benefit friends
I'm more than just a weekend binge
I want you to be my hottie riding shottie, I don't want nobody's body but your body, babe
All I'm tryna say is
There's a difference between "miss ya" and "I miss your face"
And there's a difference in "What's going on?" and "Baby, how was your day?"
Yeah, there's a hell of a difference in saying three words or kinda just meaning two
And there's a difference in "Love ya" and "I love you"
And I wanna be the difference, yeah I do
I wanna be the difference between "Hey, what's up?' and "What are we gonna do tonight?"
Between "Yeah, she's cool, we hang out sometimes" and "That girl right there, she's mine"
Between leading ya on and holdin' your hand
Sittin' it out and "Girl, let's dance"
Between playing it safe and taking the chance
Yeah, pumpin' the brakes and hittin' the gas
There's a difference between "miss ya" and "I miss your face"
And there's a difference in "What's going on?" and "Baby, how was your day?"
Yeah, there's a hell of a difference in saying three words or kinda just meaning two
And there's a difference in "Love ya" and "I love you"
And I wanna be the difference, close the distance
And be that puzzle piece you didn't even know you was missing baby
Ohh, I wanna be the difference, yeah I do
There's a difference between "miss ya" and "I miss your face"
And there's a difference in "What's going on?" and "Baby, how was your day?"
Yeah, there's a hell of a difference in saying three words or kinda just meaning two
And there's a difference in "Love ya" and "I love you"
And I wanna be the difference, oh yeah
I wanna be the difference
I wanna be the difference
