it's been a long time
since i last saw you
It seems like only yesterday
you were in my arms saying i love you 
and now time has brought us back together
no more games no more lies 
this time we gotta love it, just one more try

this time we'll do it all for love 
for love 

this time it's gonna be sweeter 
They say the second time around 
'cause my love for you 
grows stronger with everyday day

this time we'll do it all for love 
for love

I Surrender Vol. 2

This Time

[Verse 1]
You came ‘round in the morning like you didn’t disappear
Left lipstick on the counter and regret in my mirror
You say, “It’s complicated,” like that’s news to me
But I’ve been solving puzzles since you lost your key

[Pre-Chorus]
I poured my love in your half-empty glass
Watched you sip it slow, then let it pass
You said you’re scared to feel too much
So why’d you come back for that midnight touch?

[Chorus]
I can’t keep loving with half a heart
While you keep pulling mine apart
You're in, then gone, like a ghost at dark
Boy, I need a flame, not just a spark
If you can't stay, then don't even start—
I ain't playing house with half a heart

[Verse 2]
Your records still spin like nothing’s wrong
But the silence between the songs is long
You wear that charm like it don’t cost a thing
But darling, lies ain't gold, they just glitter and sting

[Pre-Chorus]
Told your mama I was just a phase
She said I deserved a better place
You keep your truth behind your smile
But I’ve been wise to that for a while

[Chorus]
I can’t keep loving with half a heart
While you keep pulling mine apart
You're in, then gone, like a ghost at dark
Boy, I need a flame, not just a spark
If you can't stay, then don't even start—
I ain't playing house with half a heart

[Bridge – spoken/sung style]
I’d rather dance alone in my red suede shoes
Than share my bed with your shifting moods
Don’t need your maybe, I want your more
But I ain’t beggin’ like I did before

[Final Chorus – soft at first, builds up]
No, I can’t keep loving with half a heart
You’re a haunted tune in a broken chart
I’m done with the guessing, done with the art
Of holding together what falls apart
So take your silence, take your part—
And leave me whole, with my full heart

half a heart

When I found you

Slow Down

If We Knew

I write all the melodies for my songs myself.

Who Wants to Be Perfect

Verse 1:
In the quiet of the evening, when the stars begin to gleam,
Your memory comes creepin', like a soft, forgotten dream.
The way your touch would linger, on my skin so warm and true,
Now I'm left here wonderin', what I'd give to be with you.
Chorus:
Oh, baby, whispers in the night,
Callin' out your name under the moonlight.
Heart's been achin' since you walked away,
But in my soul, your love will always stay.
Whispers in the night, they're pullin' me through,
Tell me, darlin', do you hear them too?
Verse 2:
Rain tappin' on the window, like the tears I try to hide,
Every song on the radio reminds me of our ride.
We danced through stormy weather, held on tight through the pain,
But now the silence echoes, drivin' me insane.
Bridge 1:
And in the hush of midnight, when the world is fast asleep,
Those whispers in the night, they cut so deep.
Echoin' promises we made, under the same old sky,
Fadin' like shadows, but they never die.
Chorus:
Oh, baby, whispers in the night,
Callin' out your name under the moonlight.
Heart's been achin' since you walked away,
But in my soul, your love will always stay.
Whispers in the night, they're pullin' me through,
Tell me, darlin', do you hear them too?
Verse 3:
Mornin' light creeps in, but the darkness lingers on,
Your scent on the pillow, remindin' me you're gone.
We built a fire together, now it's ashes in the wind,
But I'll keep on searchin' for where our love begins again.
Bridge 2:
Through the veil of loneliness, where the heartaches reside,
Those whispers in the night, they're my only guide.
Pullin' me closer to the edge of what we were,
In the quiet moments, your voice is all I hear.
Chorus (Outro):
Oh, baby, whispers in the night,
Callin' out your name under the moonlight.
Heart's been achin' since you walked away,
But in my soul, your love will always stay.
Whispers in the night... they're pullin' me through,
Fade into the dawn, but I'll remember you.

My soft forgotten dream

Our best days can inspire excellence.

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.
