L.O.V.E. You I was made to be with you

Somehow Joann and I managed to weave through the mass of Epik High fans (from the middle of the freaking crowd) to the front. We were so close to touching Tablo (Joann touched Mithra - very cute dimples!). I have no pictures or videos-except on my phone-because I refused to bring my camera. I'll live through Joann's photographic talent instead.

I felt bad actually during the whole concert. Maybe I was dehydrated or maybe because I didn't eat since 1 yesterday, but I felt like I couldn't feel any of the words. I couldn't process anything. I was in the middle of a crowd and I felt so alone. Towards the end when Tablo, MYK, and Kero One were singing Map The Soul, they kept repeating "No reason to live without you" and "L.O.V.E. You I was made to be with you" and I could feel everyone thinking of someone, either requited or unrequited. And me? I felt nothing. I couldn't feel the words. They blazed over me like a helicopter that missed a stranded individual.

But now, after a restless night even though I was tired, I'm reading the lyrics, and I wished I could have appreciated them last night. They're beautiful lyrics.



[MYK]
I remember my first glimpse of her face
I saw you smile then I smiled
I was straight blown away
Mesmerized by your beauty from your feet to your hands
How can one be so beautiful? l don't understand
Heaven-sent, God's gift without a doubt in my mind
Sometimes I wonder why our paths decided to collide
We started off as perfect strangers
Boy meets girl
Infatuation to love
Now you're my whole entire world
Destiny taps me on the back saying hello
But really it was your touch knowing I'd never let you go
Then you spoke
I never heard a voice so sweet
Heavenly, and from her words I knew this girl was deep just like me
With times to worry and times to play we'll sit and stress over life or just burn the day away
I know for sure in our past lives we had to be friends, living and dying together knowing that we would meet again
It's just a blessing to have you in my life
I was destined to be with you
I'm priveilged
So amazing
No question
And I'm knowing soon enough we'll get where we're going
Just thinking about it, I can feel my heart growing
Am I trippin' Or is it that I finally see?
I don't know
But my heart is saying you're the one for me
Please believe me
I'm exactly where I want to be
This rhyme is written from my heart to you sincerely
[Chorus]
No reason to live without you
No reason to live without you
No reason to live without you
No reason to live without you
[Tablo]
You turn a cocooned soul into a butterfly
And I lose control
Can never turn aside
You shine like summer skies
Like when a lover lies next to me and says to me
"You make me wonder why"
You are a beautiful mystery
Every note carved into musical history
A simile
A metaphor
Words not enough to entrust to you
Trust that it's true
We must have a clue
But we ask for evidence, dwell in passing sentiments though we bask in eminence
Every moment every day busy, getting paid away, the soul fades away into a grainy shade of gray
I pray that you listen to what I say
Cause I feel like a missing shoe
This is to everything that you are
The wild earth, a child's birth, Sun, Moon, and the stars
[Chorus]
No reason to live without you
No reason to live without you
No reason to live without you
No reason to live without you
[Kero One]
So I ask
"What would I be without you"
Like stevie without wonder, hunger without food, a sheep without a shepherd, asleep without your message
Despite the skeptics in the end you were true
And I knew that there was more to life
And I grew living for the light
I took my answers, combined them with yours
It made life exciting but it closed some doors
Word to Christ
My life accelerated then deflated, sunk to bottom then elevated until I made it
But you always had my back though
When kids threw rocks at me or on stage rappin'
Still I see kids without love
It brings tears to my soul
But why they always drop up?
The world's gone bonkers
You've conquered fear
And as long as I believe You're the reason I'm here
[Chorus]
No reason to live without you
No reason to live without you
No reason to live without you
No reason to live without you
[Outro]
L O V E you
I was made to be with you, made to be with you, made to be with you


Yesterday was the first day we didn't say anything to each other. I wonder if you noticed. I wonder if you care or if you think I was busy. I already knew it was eventually going to stop, but I wished...I wished that you took that unconventional step to say something to me. I wish you knew that it was the turning point.

"See you later"

I'm afraid of my turning point coming. I'm fighting it. =(
