On Borrowed Time We Danced by ObiAmeshi

A hauntingly beautiful exploration of fleeting love and the precious moments we steal from time itself. "On Borrowed Time We Danced" captures the bittersweet essence of romance that exists in the spaces between certainty and goodbye.

ObiAmeshi weaves together delicate melodies and introspective lyrics that speak to anyone who has ever held onto love knowing it might slip away. The song paints intimate scenes of two souls sharing stolen moments—dancing not to music, but to the rhythm of borrowed heartbeats and whispered promises.

With its ethereal soundscape and emotionally raw delivery, this track showcases ObiAmeshi's ability to transform personal vulnerability into universal connection. The music flows like a slow dance in twilight, where every step matters because you know the song will end.

"On Borrowed Time We Danced" is more than a song; it's a meditation on how we love fiercely in the face of impermanence, finding beauty in temporary spaces and meaning in moments that were never meant to last forever.

*A tender reminder that sometimes the most profound connections happen when we know we're running out of time.*

On Borrowed Time

Gave you time, gave you space
Held you down when you lost your way
Never judged, never changed
Played it cool when you act strange
Every fight, I take the fall
Even when I know it’s not my fault
You be out, I stay in
You get love, I don’t win

But I kept showin' up, even empty
Still gave you all when it drained me
You want me there when it’s good
But you gone when it’s heavy

This love ain't one way
You take and never give, then say I changed
Girl, I was all in  you played safe
If love’s a give and go, you just stay
No, this ain’t fair play
I held your pain while you looked away
Now you ask why I don’t feel the same
‘Cause love ain’t one way

You need space? I give that fast
I need time? You never ask
You make rules, I adapt
You break ‘em all and still get a pass
It’s always “you,” never “us”
Your mood swing and I adjust
I get quiet, you get loud
I hold peace, you hold crowd

I was down to ride, even solo
You just want the highs, not the low-low
I was yours, no Plan B
But you moved like you fancy

This love ain't one way
You take and never give, then say I changed
Girl, I was all in  you played safe
If love’s a give and go, you just stay
No, this ain’t fair play
I held your pain while you looked away
Now you ask why I don’t feel the same
‘Cause love ain’t one way

I loved you more than I loved me
And that’s where I lost peace
Now I’m done tryna compete
With your ego on repeat
Love don’t mean shit if it’s just mine
You only show up on your time
Don’t ask me why I’m gone cold
You made this bed  now it’s yours alone

This love ain't one way
You take and never give, then say I changed
Girl, I was all in  you played safe
If love’s a give and go, you just stay
No, this ain’t fair play
I held your pain while you looked away
Now you ask why I don’t feel the same
‘Cause love ain’t one way

One Way

I am a healthcare executive completing a dual degree, Master of Public Health / Doctor of Health Sciences, focused on raising awareness about behavioral health, specifically among teens and college students. My dissertation research is focused on raising up the voice of college students beginning with communities of color. I am committed to helping people connect to their purpose in collaboration with mission-aligned leaders. Together we will achieve great things!

Our project is a first step in raising awareness about a national health epidemic. All proceeds are reinvested directly into proactive strategies for improving behavioral health among youth, teens, and young adults in collaboration with community partners.

Our youth, teens, and young adults are reporting the highest levels of loneliness on record according to the U.S. Surgeon General. Our work is going to help change that through simple actions that bring people together for the common good, focused on lifting people up, and creating stronger in person connections.



Lord, I Thank You

Sacred Fire is an R&B anthem of self-respect, boundary, and soul remembrance. It's a song for those who’ve been told that love means compliance, that silence is strength, that peace is bought by swallowing pain. With every note, it reclaims the divine power of saying no, not as rejection, but as a return to self. Backed by warm harmonies and a steady emotional rise, this track burns away guilt, expectation, and fear. It’s not angry. It’s not cruel. It’s clarity. And it’s love in its purest form: the kind that refuses to self-abandon ever again.

Sacred Fire

“Ocean” is a sensual R&B journey that blends smooth falsettos, moody production and intimate lyricism. Melo Blu captures the feeling of getting lost in someone’s energy like drifting under moonlight waves where love, lust and vulnerability collide in a tide of emotion.
