Dear Love…

[Cold 90s R&B heartbreak slow jam with floating harmony stacks, aching vocals, and a groove that hits smooth and heavy. A confession of love, loss, and fear of opening the heart again.]

Dear Love…

[Legend:
{oooo…} = constant background pad]

VERSE 1

[Cold Rhodes. Sub bass breathing. Backgrounds already floating.]

{oooooo… ooooo…}

Even in silence I wish you peace
{peace…}
I hope your nights are gentle and sweet
{sweet…}

But every memory cuts through me
{me…}
Like loving you was killing me slowly
{slowly…}

CHORUS

[Full groove hits. Snare wide. Harmonies spread stereo.]

{oooooo…}

Girl, wherever you are
{are…}
I pray happiness is your best friend
{friend…}

I wish you no ill will —
{will…}
Even right now, girl, I love you still
{still…}

Oooo love…
{love…}
does hurt, I can’t lie
{lie…}

I can’t open my heart again
{again…}
Never wanna feel this way again
{again…}

I don’t even think I can ever love again
{again…}

Oooo love…
{love…}

{oooooo…}

VERSE 2 (alt)

{oooooo…}

Every room still echoes your name
{name…}
Silence never feels the same
{same…}

I try to run but love remains
{remains…}
Like a shadow dancing in my veins
{veins…}

CHORUS [REPEAT]

[Full groove hits. Snare wide. Harmonies spread stereo.]

{oooooo…}

Girl, wherever you are
{are…}
I pray happiness is your best friend
{friend…}

I wish you no ill will —
{will…}
Even right now, girl, I love you still
{still…}

Oooo love…
{love…}
does hurt, I can’t lie
{lie…}

I can’t open my heart again
{again…}
Never wanna feel this way again
{again…}

I don’t even think I can ever love again
{again…}

Oooo love…
{love…}

{oooooo…}

OUTRO

[Drums fall away. Only Rhodes + stacks.]

{oooooo…}

I don’t even think I can ever love again
{again…}

Oooo love…
{love…}

{oooooo… fading… fading…}
