The Lives of Dave and Grace: The Song

Photo from Bryce Kiguchi.
He had been talking about this song he wanted her to hear. She didn’t have the time or more like they didn’t have a chance to actually listen to it until that night he brought her home after a tiring trip to places she had never been to. He wouldn’t let this day end without her hearing it. He grabbed her laptop and searched for it.

He played it.

She was in awe and secretly catching her breath but she couldn’t stop the tears that fell from her eyes as if they have a mind of their own. So she laid on his lap and cried like a baby with thoughts of sadness filling her. She knew it’s going to be the song she’s gonna listen to when all these end.

A day before her last day, they went out to eat. There was an unbearable silence when his Ipod started playing this song. 

“Will we ever see each other again?”

“Will there be an ‘after’ after this?”



“How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?”


“Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?”


She heard the word she wanted to hear from him. This isn't the first time he said it but it always felt like it was. 


"Stay", he said while keeping his eyes glued to the road which worked to her advantage. 


She knew she probably couldn't say 'No' to him. She didn't say anything. At least not aloud. "I want to. I wish I could."

Just the thought of it brings unexplainable combination of acceptance and resistance. They both knew it could be the last but somehow somewhere in that acceptance is a little piece of resistance so powerful that it could change everything if they were just willing to give it a chance.


But they knew better. “Some of the best moments in life may not be meant to be forever but they can be if we choose to keep them in our hearts no matter the ending”, she thought.


It will be the song that will bring her back to the memory of him and their journey closer to God whether or not they end up together. It was song of faith, a song that honors the One. 

God, You're all that we need. You are more than enough. You are everything.

Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength that keeps me walking.
You are the hope that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you're all I want, you’re all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.

And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this? 
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
