And we don't even know what we argue about
Don't even say I love you no more
Cause sayin' how we feel is no longer allowed
Some people will work things out
And some just don't know how to change
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it baby
Now they can see the tears in our eyes
But we deny the pain that lies deep in our hearts
Well maybe that's a pain we can't hide
Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart
Why do we hurt each other
Why do we push love away
These lyrics take me to 2 places. The first is a church dance. The second is the parking lot of Centennial High, inside a black 1990 mitsubishi eclipse. The music is loud. Ridiculously loud. 3 teenage girls are singing/screaming along with their eyes closed, fists clinched as if reliving some actual painful relationship they had experienced themselves(at the age of 16). Good times, great oldies.
This concert was soooo much fun. And may I say, Motownphilly, I'll make love to you, a song for mama, On bended knee- the Boyz still got it!
Jonathan and I enjoying the "end of the road"
Natalie, Ben and baby Abrie(3 weeks old)
Boyz ll Men, ABC, BBD, the east coast family

Hey, I was there too! It was a great concert!
How fun! I can relate to those 16 year olds...thought those relationships were SO hard, HUGE trials in my life..haha. Missed you at the game.
you better believe I was in that eclipse. I so wish I was with you at the concert...
I went in High School too. I can't believe they are still around though. You are the queen of concerts. Sounds awesome.
I like how I started reading the post (before seeing the pic of you) and thought, "Oh no, marital problems. Not Melissa! I can't believe they don't talk to eachother about their feelings!!! It's all so sad." So I didn't really think that, but you get it. My real favorite part is how Baby Abrie is going to grow up and see that picture and decide (this when she's nine) that she loves Boyz II Men. And they'll prob still be doing concerts.
Please tell me that during Motownphilly you got up and did "the dance" that we spent HOURS making up in your living room...
Stake dance memories here too Melissa! I would have loved to be there at that concert. It was good to see you last weekend!
how much do I love that you went to boys II men? ;) I think i'll be falling asleep with a little east coast harmony.
I forgot to add that Shawn and Amy did in-vitro again, and...she's PREGNANT...with TWINS! Due in April.
