Dating My Past (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[Wess Morgan's

"Why Can't We Love?" playing]

Tell me,

hat's that sound that I hear? w

Is that the drums of w*r

in my ear?

We cling to our religion

But we can't heal

our division

Mm

We're still

shackled by our chains

Mm-mm

Why can't we love?

Why can't we love?

Why can't we love

one another?

I wanna know, my friend,

why can't we love?

Why can't we love?

Why can't we love

one another?



Ba-ba-ba-ba

Ba, ba, ba-ba



Ba-ba, ba-ba

Ba-ba

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba

Ba-ba-ba

Ba-ba

Mm, ooh

Why can't we love?

Why can't we love

Why can't we love

Why can't we love

one another?

-I wanna know

-Why can't we love

Why can't we love

Why can't we love

one another?

Don't look at my skin,

my friend, why?

Ba-ba-ba-ba

Why can't we just love

one another

Despite of the color?



Ba-ba-ba-ba

Ba-ba, ba-ba



[door opens]

Good afternoon.

-Please come in.

-[door closes]

Make yourselves comfortable.

Appreciate you seeing us

on such short notice.

Well, of course.

I'm here to help.

So, let's start

with understanding why

you two are here

in the first place.

It's just trust issues.

We're hoping you can help us.

Yes,

before things get even more...

let's just say, complicated.

Well, trust is the foundation

of any good relationship.

And while it can

be hard sometimes...

and complicated,

I'm sure that if we get

to the root of the issue,

you two can solve it.

We've tried to solve it,

but that did not work

because

David just doesn't listen.

That makes me so frustrated.

to the point

I don't wanna communicate

or even express how I feel.

Oh, no, no, no.

That is not true, Sarah.

That is not true.

I do listen to you.

You don't listen to me

to hear my perspective.

You know, I don't think

you respect me or listen to me.

You know what the problem is?

The problem is Sarah

doesn't appreciate me.

No matter what I do

in this home

or in this relationship,

all that effort,

it goes unnoticed.

What do you mean?

I do appreciate you,

but feeling unappreciated

goes both ways, you know.

It's hard for me

when I'm constantly trying

to communicate with him,

but it's like talking

to a brick wall.

What?! I do--

No, no, no, no. I do hear you.

I may not hear you the way

you want, but I hear you.

It's not just

about hearing the words.

It's about understanding.

It's about really being present

and engaging with me.

-Yeah, I engage with you--

We're in the same room,

but your mind is in the clouds--

[both arguing at once]

Okay!

Calm down.

Let's all just breathe in.

[inhales deeply]

Hold it. Breathe out.

[exhales deeply]

All right. Good.

It's important for me to get

both of your perspectives,

just...one at a time.

All right.

Before we dive into your story,

how about

I share a little bit of mine?

Your story?

We wouldn't mind hearing you out

as long as you're comfortable

to talk about it.

Of course. I wouldn't

suggest it if I wasn't.

You see, in life, we go

through so many experiences.

And the ones especially in love,

they help teach us a lot.

I've been through many lessons.

And sometimes it takes

going through them over and over

and over again

before we actually learn them.

And when I was finally ready

to learn my lesson,

it helped me make

the decision in my life.

So, you've been through

relationship troubles, too?

[chuckles] More than

you might ever think.

You see,

life isn't fair to anyone.

We must all go through our tests

and trials and tribulations

that take us

to where we are today

to making the right decisions.

My story is like anyone else's.

Yeah

How you looking calm,

baby, in spite

Of that body stretching out

your pinstripes

Got so much to tell you,

come on inside

Hey

You was MIA from the invite

Wanna keep me down

with my hands tied

[gasps] Tiff.

-That's Mr. McAfee.

-Who?

Mr. McAfee, who's looking for

a new human resource manager.

I have got

to introduce you two.

He's right there. Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.

Hey, where are you two going?

Just wait right here

and watch our stuff.

We'll be right back.



Okay.

Excuse me. I think I'm lost.

-What?

-I'm lost.

Can you give me directions?

Directions to where?

Back to Earth.

'Cause looking at you,

I got to be in heaven.

[scoffs and chuckles]

Looks like

I'm on the right track.

Hey, do you mind if I join you?



Look, I won't get up

all up in your space.

I just couldn't

pass up the opportunity

to have a conversation with you.

Just for a little bit.





I'm-a take that as a yes.

So, um...what's your name?

Lexie.

Lexie Jackson.

It was nice to meet you, sexy.

Ah, I meant Lexie.

[laughs] Okay.

Nice to meet you, too.

Can I get you a drink?



I mean, I guess

another margarita wouldn't hurt.



Um, I'll have another margarita.

SERVER: Okay.

Thank you.



So, Lexie,

do you wanna play a game?



What's the game?

The game is I'm going

to ask you a question.

Personal questions.

But let me guess the answer.

You down?



I mean, I'm always

down for a challenge, so...

Okay, question one.

It's an easy question.

If you go anywhere

in the world,

where would you go?



Ah-ah. Remember the rules.

Let me guess.

You tell me

if I'm right or wrong.

-Okay.

-Okay?



Judging

by your adventurous vibe,

I'm-a guess...

Thailand.

Why would you say Thailand?

Because...tropical atmosphere,

beautiful beaches,

nice restaurants,

luxurious resorts.

But can you see yourself

going to Thailand?

I mean,

if you describe it like that,

yeah, I can see myself

going to Thailand.

Okay. All right, next question.



If you could master

any skill overnight,

what would it be?

With those big eyes,

I bet you see

the beauty in everything.

So, I'm-a guess...painting.

That's what I'm gonna guess.

See, the greatest painters

in the world,

they paint the world

through the eyes.

I would love to see the world

through your eyes.

[chuckles]

Am I close?

Say you're pretty close.

Last question.



If you can have dinner

with any historical person,

who would it be?



You look like somebody who...

values intellect

and appreciates poetry,

so, I'm-a guess...

Oscar Wilde or...

Maya Angelou.

Am I right?

Am I right about you?

Maya Angelou.

Pretty good at this.

Is there anything

you wanna ask me?

Oh. [laughs] No, not really.

Not even my name?

You don't wanna know my name?

Girl, you don't wanna know

my name?

Well, I'm sorry.

What's your name?



See, I thought you would

never ask.



I'm Jeremiah.

Jeremiah Cooper.



So, uh, sexy...would you like

to go somewhere alone?



I'm actually here

with my friends, so...

Your friends?

You ain't got no friends.

Where your friends at? You--

You ain't got no friends, girl.



We'll be back before

they even know you gone.



Well...I guess,

if we come back soon.



How's tomorrow?

-[giggles]

-How about the day after that?

Come on. Let's go.



-Would you like some water?

-DAVID: No, we're good.

You know, if my husband

wasn't here,

I would have asked you to give

me more of the juicy details.

Well, let's keep it

professional for now, Sarah.

Just for now.

-So...where were we?

-Oh, hold on, hold on.

Okay, so...I-I agree with you

with that whole learning

somebody else's past,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

David!

But do we really need to know

your love story right now?

Aren't you charging us

by the hour?

I mean, see what I mean?

Just another way

of making more money.

Firstly, David,

I really would like to thank you

for being so upfront

and honest with me.

Now, I respect that,

and at this point,

expect it from all my clients.

Secondly, I know while

this may seem very unnecessary

and maybe

even annoying at times.

Trust me, all right?

I wouldn't be sharing this

if I didn't think

it would add value

to our session.

-But you're still an expert--

-David, please let her continue.

[sighs]

Please. Trust me.

Every therapist has

their methods on how they choose

to help their clients.

This would be mine. All right?

An interesting

and novel way indeed.

[chuckles]

Thank you for saying that.

I respect your time

and your patience,

which is why I'd like

to continue

until our session is over.

[sighs]

All right, so where were we?

Now, this next gentleman

who I met... [sighs]

...is definitely someone

who's memorable

to the prospects that I have.



Well, well, well.

If it isn't the art broker

extraordinaire

selling millions on art, I see.

Hey, Lexie.

If only it were that easy,

but I'm hoping to make

some good deals today.

Just another glamorous day

in the life of an art broker.

It's not always as glamorous

as it seems, Lexie.

There is a lot of pressure,

especially when big deals

like this are on the line.

Brooke,

it's you we're talking about.

Come on, girl. I have

faith in you. You got this.

Thank you, Lexie. [laughs]

Mm.

[cellphone rings]

Hello? Okay.

[cellphone clicks]

They're here.

I'm gonna go take care of this.

And why don't you look around?

I mean, there is some

amazing pieces of art here.

Don't worry about me. Okay?

Good luck.

-Thank you.

-You got this.

[mellow jazz music playing]



Wow.

This is...amazing.

MAN: Thank you.

-Did you do this?

-[chuckles] I did.

Brooke told me about you.

You're Mr. Clark, right?

Yeah, Mr. Clark.

You just call me Maurice.

And you are?

Lexie. Lexie Jackson.

Lexie Jackson.

Nice to meet you, Lexie.

Nice to meet you.

Oh. I'm...so sorry.

Can I help you?

Um...Yeah, actually.

I was...wondering if...

maybe you'd wanna

get coffee sometime?

-Cup of coffee?

-Mm-hmm.

Hmm. When?

Now.

Okay. I know a coffee shop

around the corner

that's perfect.

-Okay.

-Come on.

Can you believe this is

your first time doing this?

I'm just so glad

you decided to join me today.

Yeah, I've been wanting to do

something like this for a while,

but just never got

around to it, you know?

Well, look, you're here now,

and that's what matters.

Trust me. When you see

the difference we make,

you'll be hooked.

So, I was thinking

maybe we could organize

a clothing drive this week.

With winter coming, it could

really help out those in need.

Oh, yeah, that's a great idea.

Uh-huh.

And then we could team up

with some local shelters

in the area,

just to make sure

those donations

get to who they need to get to.

So, what is...

Can I ask you something?

What's up?

What motivates you to do this?

I don't know. I mean,

I guess it just feels good,

do something tangible,

you know?

See the impact of your efforts

and how they affect people

firsthand.

But you know what

makes it even better?

-We get to do it together.

-[laughs] Yes.

I'm so excited

to show you the ropes.

Thanks for encouraging me

to come out.

Of course.

I'm ready

to make a difference today.

That's the spirit.

Well, I need to go get

the rest of the stuff.

Are you gonna be okay making

the rest of the magic happen?

Okay. Yeah. Take your time.

I'll handle this.

All right. You got it.

I believe in you.

[chuckles]

-Come on, Lex. You got this.

-Uh, hey.

Yeah?

-You need a hand?

-Oh, um...

-I can help.

-I mean, you don't have to,

but if you want,

you're more than welcome to.

Yeah.

Take a break.

Now, it's good to stay

hydrated in this heat.

Thank you. [laughs]

It's really hot.

[grunts]

I'm Ethan, by the way.

Lexie.

Nice to meet you, Lexie.

That's a...

-That's a cute name.

-Well, thank you.

It's a pleasure to meet you,

too.

I'll, uh, be over here if you

need me for anything else.

Sounds good. Thanks.

[David chuckles]

Okay. Okay, so...

several different men,

several different stories.

[sighs] Yes, and each of them

teaching me valuable lessons

on love, life...

and about myself.

Okay, so...

what happened next?

Well, someone's curious now.

Um...

I mean... [clears throat]

You said... [clears throat]

that you had to finish

this story

before the end of our session.

[laughs]

Come on.

You can't tell the audience

to leave the theater

once the movie started.

DAVID: Mm-hmm.

Well, that's actually

a really good analogy.

And all right. All right.

You win.

I am now eager to find out

about these different men

in your life. [laughs]

Well, thank you.

But...let me remind you,

it wasn't

always rainbows and roses.

The amount of tears I've shed...

Far too many.

And those gray,

dark, gloomy days?

So many I can't even count.

You know... [sighs]

My heart...

shattered to pieces.

I was really, really broken.

We're listening.

Hold on.

Let me tell you the truth.

Jeremiah and I, we go way back.



That guy really taught me

some harsh life lessons.

[clock beeping]

[beeping stops]

Babe, wake up.

[moans]

Don't you have to go to work?

I wanna sleep

a little bit longer.

All right.

Don't go.

Jeremiah, don't be like that.

Mnh-mnh. Stay.

Yo, baby, what's up?

I wrote you a song

You better

throw this thing on

Take it all for what it is

What it is, what it is,

what it is, what it is

It ain't all so big

So big, so big,

so big, so big

Take it all for what it is

What it is, what it is,

what it is, what it is

It ain't all so bad

It ain't all so bad

[giggles]

Thank you for waking me up.

Of course.

Did you want some coffee?

Yes, please.

This is for you.

Oh. Thank you for

making me this lovely breakfast.

Well, it was made

by yours truly,

so you know

it's gonna taste amazing.

[mouth full] I'm sure of that.

Mm-hmm.

Oh. Be ready at 8:00.

-I'm gonna pick you up.

-Sure. What's the occasion?

Can't a hot guy take his

hot girlfriend out on a date?

Oh, sh**t.

Well, this hot girlfriend

will be ready for anything.

Perfect. Just remember,

I'm-a come by and pick you up.

-8:00.

-All right. Sounds good.

[cellphone chiming]

One second.

[cellphone clicks]

[sighs]

I gotta go.

Uh, but what about your coffee?

[sighs] There's no time.

All right.

-Mm.

-Did you have to give me

such a loving kiss

before you leave?

I couldn't give you

an unloving kiss, could I?

[chuckles] I'll miss you.

I'll miss you more.

-Mm.

-Mm-mm-mm-mm.

I don't want to make you late.

Please make me late.

Make me late. Make me late.

Oh.

-Now go to work.

-All right.

[chuckles]

Remember, be ready. 8:00 sharp.

All right. Sounds good.

See you later.

-Love you.

-Love you, too.

[chuckles]

All my old flame

watching my page

Say they miss

what I gave them

-[doorbell rings]

-I'm doing fine now

I feel amazing

I'm out of their range

Keep 'em guessing

when they ask about us

Hi.

Sexy Lexie.

Oh, my God.

They're so beautiful.

-I love them.

-I knew you would.

Wow. You look beautiful tonight.

[chuckles]

I'm so...I'm so happy

to be in love with you.

That's the sweetest thing

anyone has ever said.

But...there's just one thing.

-What? What are you doing?

-Hold on, hold on.

Oh, let's see.

Perfect.

I like it this way.

All right, I'm gonna put

these in some water, okay?

Okay.

-[door closes]

-Thanks again, babe. [giggles]

[door closes]

-[faucet running]

-Are you ready to go?

Yeah, yeah. Give me one second.

-All right, let's go.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where's your jacket?

-Huh?

-Your jacket.

But it's such nice weather

outside.

Lexie, you know how

I feel about these guys

with these f*cking googly eyes

staring at your body.

[scoffs]

Jeremiah, are you for real?

Lexie, please. For me.

All right. Fine.

I'll go get one.

[door closes]

[door opens]

All right, perfect.

[sighs] Thanks, babe.

Hm.

-Let's go now.

-Okay.

So, I was thinking, um,

after this, go back to my place.

I'll get you a bottle

of your favorite wine.

You know, just me

and you hang out, just us.

Well, that'll work.

I don't have to get into work

until, like,

2 p.m. tomorrow, so...

Okay, yeah,

you ain't gonna sleep much.

-[chuckles]

-But you're gonna sleep well.

-Here you go.

-Sleep real good.

Wow, that's a really

nice watch you have there, sir.

Thanks.

It's a lot more than

what you make here, buddy.

I'll be back, sir.

Jeremiah, you can't go around

saying stuff like that.

Stuff like what?

Like what you just said

to the poor guy.

-He sure was poor.

-Jeremiah, come on.

What?



Okay, Lexie, I'm sorry. Okay?

-We'll--

-Thank you for dining with us.

Hope you both have

a great rest of your night.

A terrible-a*s waiter.

Let's just--Let's just go.

Let's just go.

This ruined the night.



Let's go.

Babe. Babe!

-What?!

-What's wrong with you?!

There's nothing wrong

with me, okay?

You sure about that?

'Cause you're sure acting weird.

The hell are you talking about?

Jeremiah, you've been

acting really weird lately.

Weird?

What do you mean, weird?

I don't know,

but you sure as hell

weren't acting like this before.

Lexie,

let's not go down that road.

And what the hell's

that supposed to mean?

[vehicle approaches]

Hello? I'm talking to you.

[engine turns off]

Thank you.

Lexie, come on.

Get your a*s in the car.

[scoffs] No, I'm not, Jeremiah.

Lexie,

don't cause a scene out here.

I'm the one causing a scene?

You're the one

clearly causing a scene.

You know,

I'm sick of your bitching.

You know what?

What do you want me to do?

Huh? What do you want me to do?

-You know what I want you to do?

-What?

Go home by yourself

with your b*tch a*s!

[footsteps depart]



Hey, hey, please get in the car.

Go away, Jeremiah.

I don't wanna talk to you.

Well, please get in the car.

You know what? Whatever.

[tires peal, engine revs]

[beep]

[line rings]

Okay.

[chair rolls]

[opens and shuts drawer]

So? Okay, what happened?

We were having such a good time.

Okay.

And it's like he changed into

a completely different person.

He was being such a d*ck!

-Okay.

-It was so embarrassing.

Okay, well,

let's just calm down, all right?

How long have y'all

been together?

I don't know.

[glass and bottle clink]

Eight months?

Lex, I mean...

you can't really know a person

in just eight months.

I guess.

I mean, he was so good to me

for those months.

It's like

he just switched up on me.

It doesn't make any sense.

Oh, okay. Okay, okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Look, come here.

Come.

[sighs]

Look, I'm so sorry

this happened to you, Lexie.

It's okay.

Look, I'm always a call away.

Thanks, Tiff.

Of course.

But as much as I wanna stay,

I do have work tomorrow, so...

Yeah, I know. I won't

hold you against your will.

-[laughs]

-I appreciate you.

Yeah. [laughs]

Thanks for picking me up.

Of course. You know I got you.

Now get some rest.

Don't stay up all night.

-I won't.

-All right. Good night.

Good night.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[sniffles]



[flowers and lid thud]

[under breath] f*cking as*h*le.

[sniffles]

[clock beeping]

[TV playing indistinctly]

[beeping continues]

[beeping stops]

[birds chirping in distance]



[cellphone chimes]

[mug clatters]

[cellphone chimes]



[door opens]

Lex...

Lex...

About last night...

[scoffs]

I apologize

for acting the way I did.

I made a really big mistake,

and I realize that now.

Do you really, Jeremiah?

I do.

Please, Lexie,

give me another chance.

I shouldn't have

disrespected you.

For starters.

Look, I'm working

on my anger issues.

Lexie...

I love you.

And I promise...

promise to be good.

I promise to be good.

Pinkie promise?

Here is your coffee.

I hope you enjoy.

And please let me know

if you need anything else.

Thank you.

Ordered you a cup of coffee.

Thanks.

[sips]

Hold on. Hold on. Excuse me.

What's wrong?

You gave me the wrong order.

Oh.

I'm so sorry, sir,

but I gave you what you ordered.

A hot caramel macchiato with

two pumps of caramel, right?

Yes, that's what I ordered,

but this...

This? This doesn't taste

like that.

-This tastes like sh*t.

-Jeremiah.

So, go back there

and get me another cup.

-[slams hand]

-Now!

-[gasps]

-SERVER: Okay.

[patrons murmuring]

Wait. Come here.

Come here, come here.

Can you please

get this damn cup?

[server sighs]

What the hell is wrong

with you?!

You know what?

I can't do this anymore.

We're done!

-[footsteps depart]

-Lexie.

[pounds fist]

[patrons murmuring]

You. This is your damn fault.

-This is your fault.

-Emma.

[clears throat]

Sir, I'm gonna

have to ask you to leave.

You're disturbing my place

and these people.

[indistinct conversations]

It's her fault.

She doesn't know how

to make a damn cup of coffee.

Whatever the reason is,

I don't care.

Now leave,

or I'm calling the cops.

Okay. Okay.

[clears throat]

Uh, your bill.

[sighs]

[bills rustling]

Have a good day.

What the hell are

y'all looking at?

[indistinct conversations]

Nosy-a*s people.

[applause]



[crickets chirping]

[sighs]

[liquid bubbling]

[doorbell rings]

[knock on door]

[doorbell rings]

[bubbling stops]

-[dog barking in distance]

-Yes?

Hello.

I'm Wanda.

I'm Jeremiah's sister.

You're what?

You have a pretty house.

Thank you so much.

I mean...

it's quite cute.

I hope you don't mind me asking,

but why are you here?

I like how

you come to the point.

Lexie, I'm sure you have

a lot of questions

on your mind right now,

but I just came to tell you

that Jeremiah loves you a lot.

And he would

do anything to get you back.

Thank you.

I'm flattered, but...

[inhales deeply] that ship

sailed long before he got on it.

Lexie, look, I know

why you mad at Jeremiah,

but trust me, he's a good man.

And sure, he loses his temper

from time to time,

but he seems more committed

and connected to you

than anyone else.

I never seen him so happy

before he met you.

I know this isn't

my place to tell, but...

Jeremiah and I went through

a lot when we were children,

and he was

always protective of me.

The things we've been through,

it's a lot to handle.

He's done pretty good

working through those issues.

Sometimes they come up

every now and then, but...

but he means right.

So, Lexie, please.

Give Jeremiah another chance.

He's a good guy.

He'll keep you happy.



The decision is up to you.

Lexie, Jeremiah is more

than ready

to spend the rest of his life

with a wonderful woman like you.

And trust me, he will wait

for you as long as it takes.

But at the end of the day,

that decision is yours to make.

I'll see myself out.

You have a good night.

Good night.

[footsteps depart]

[door opens]

[door closes]



[chuckles] You're up early.

Yeah, well, been asleep

right next to you.

[chuckles]

-[sizzling]

-What's wrong?

Your eggs are burning.

-[sighs]

-[stove knob clicking]

[utensil clattering]

Well, I hope

you like your eggs burnt.

Ha! Ain't afraid

of no burnt eggs.

All right.

[clank]

[chuckles]

This is one

hell of a masterpiece.

[gasps] Well, it's your fault

for kissing me.

[laughs]

Don't blame me, woman.

Just giving you the love

I think you deserve.

I love you. You know that?

Mm. Well, I already love you.

[indistinct conversations

in background]

[telephone ringing in distance]

[laughter in background]

[cellphone chimes]

[telephone continues ringing]

MAURICE: Lexie,

don't forget our date tonight.

Meet me at the museum at 8.

[touchpad clicking]



I close my eyes

I try to dream

Picture perfect in my mind

ain't what it seems

A thousand tries

Till I succeed

Together

we're beyond infinity

Like an hourglass

sinking fast

Seconds, minutes, hours pass

I'm still trying

to figure it out

What is time?

I wanna know

What is time?

Tell me, tell me

What is time?

Don't live your life

like a clock on the wall



What is time?

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh



We chase the clock

We go our ways

Feels like getting loose

And trapped

in a darkest maze

What is time?

I wanna know

What is time?

Tell me,

tell me what is time?

Don't live your life

like a clock on the wall



So, did you have

a good time tonight?

Of course. I enjoy spending

every day with you.

All right. I like that.

You know what I enjoy

doing even more, though?

What is that?

Eating dessert.

Ooh. I can definitely

go for some dessert.

There's actually

this ice cream spot

right around the corner that

my homeboy be telling me about.

Why'd you stop?

[chuckles] Okay. All right.

I should have caught that.

-I'm sorry.

-It's okay.

What's the rush?

Trying to get some dessert.

What is time?

I wanna know

What is time?



What is time?

[song echoing]

Did you make those

with charcoal or graphite?

Number 2 pencil.

Mm.

What was

your inspiration for her?

Mm.

She kind of encapsulates

the entirety of femininity.

You got the long hair.

You got the love bit rooted.

Strong, elegant, vivacious

all at the same time.

Gotta put it to the--

put it to the pad, you know?

And her?

That's same type of energies.

Wow. Tender and ferocious

all in one.

I got Biggie right here.

Gotta pay homage to that.

He's one of my favorites.

Gucci Mane right here.

Rick Ross. Lud Foe.

Something about seeing...

caricatures of real life people

brings forth more emotions.

I don't know.

LEXIE: I'm not sure

what to really think about us.

I know I taste

better than that ice cream,

but he seems to be more

into everything else but me.

[glasses thud]

[telephone ringing in distance]

[beep]

[line rings]

[ring]

Hey, it's Jeremiah.

Leave a message if you want,

and I'll get back to you.

[beep]

[cellphone clatters]

[wind blowing]



[sighs]

What are we doing?

[cellphone chimes]

[touchpad clicks]

[birds chirping]

Hey.

Hey, Lexie.

Long time no see.

You look amazing.

Well, you look pretty good,

too, yourself, Jeremiah.

Thank you.

How you been?

I've been good.

Oh, come--come and have a seat.

I've been thinking

about you a lot lately.

And I owe you an apology.

I've been going to therapy,

and I've been working

really, really hard

on my anger and control issues.

That's...great, Jeremiah.

I'm really happy for you.

Man, you look more beautiful

than the last time I saw you.

Lexie...

I want you to know...

that you're

the only woman for me.

And I hope...

Hope you feel like

I'm the only man for you.

Jeremiah...

I'm flattered,

but I just don't see myself

making the same mistakes

I made in the past.

Come on, Lexie.

People change.

Why don't

you give us another shot?

You're right.

People do change...

which is why I don't see us

going back to who we were.

We're not going

back to the past.

We're going forward.

Something new.

Still love me, right?

So, what is it?

It's not like

you're seeing someone else.

Are you?

What's his name?

What's his name?

No. Jeremiah.

I'm not gonna do this again.

Do what?

Somewhere down the road...

I gotta go.

We hit a dead end

Dead end

So, I tried, tried and tried

It only made me cry,

made me cry

And now

there's nowhere to go

LEXIE: I have Maurice,

but I keep thinking

about Jeremiah.

What keeps pulling me

back to my past?

I wonder, has he changed?

Maybe he has changed.

SINGER: Oh-oh-oh

[line ringing]

Hey, it's Jeremiah.

Leave a message if you want,

and I'll get back to you.

-[beep]

-SINGER: Girlfriend

Jeremiah, it's Lexie.

I had some time to think

about what you said today.

Let's talk.

SINGER: Tried and tried,

it only made me cry

Made me cry, and now there's

nowhere to go from here

We hit a dead end

A dead end

[sighs heavily]

[cellphone ringing]

Hello?

Lexie, Mom is in the hospital.-

-What?

It's serious.

You need to come now.

Why? What happened?

Is she okay?

I don't know.

Lexie, just come, please.

Okay, okay. I'm on my way.

[beep]

Lexie, what's wrong?

Looks like you've seen a ghost.

My mom--she's at the hospital.

I don't know what happened.

I just know

I really need to go right now.

Lexie, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm sorry. Let me drive you.

No, thank you.

I'll drive myself.

Look, Lexie, stop.

You got too much to worry about.

Let me drive you.

You sure?

I don't wanna impose.

Don't worry about that

right now.

You need to worry about your

mother. I'm taking you, okay?

Okay. Look, I'm-a get you

there as fast as I can.



Fortunately, she suffered a, uh,

minor heart attack.

She is stable.

However,

we would like to keep her

in observation

for a couple of days.

Thanks, Doctor.

Yeah, thank you so much.

I'll, um, leave you both to it.

[crying]

I'm-a go see Mom.

Are you gonna be okay

right here for a second?

-Yeah. Go ahead.



[sniffles]

[elevator bell dings]

[indistinct conversations]

[elevator bell dings]

Thanks for being here, Jeremiah.

Where else would I be?

How's your mom?

Stable for now.

They're keeping her

for observation.

[indistinct announcement

over P.A.]

That's good to hear.



Beneath the starlit sky

Our love's secret line

Like leaves...

Lex...

everything's

gonna be all right.

Beneath the moonlight

I'm starting to believe that.

Gets me every time

[doorbell rings]

Oh, uh, package

for Lexie Jackson.

Yeah, that's me.

Oh, okay.

Sign right here for me.

Thank you.

All right. Thank you.

Wow.

It's gotta be Maurice.

Maybe this is

the season of love

Maybe this is

the season of love

You look amazing tonight.

Well, thanks, Ethan.

You look pretty sharp yourself.

Thank you.

[jazz vocalist singing]

We won't give up on dancing,

and across the floor we fly

What's on your mind?

Oh, it's nothing.

You sure?

In the air

Okay.

I hold you so close

I think you must hear

my heart tingle

We're heading home

[chuckles]

That Impossible steak

was impossibly good.

[laughter]

It looked good. I see. I should

have had some of that.

I mean, mine was cool,

but yours looked amazing.

I mean, have you always

been vegetarian?

Only two years.

Mm.

It aligns

with my values now, you know?

I totally get that.

I mean, I've been trying to cut

back on meat myself, honestly.

-Really?

-Yeah.

It's...health issues and...

LEXIE: With Ethan,

it feels different. Lighter.

Just two people

here in the moment.

Is this what

it's supposed to feel like?

WESS MORGAN:

And every time I turn around

Trying to get my feet back

on the ground

Many tears I had to cry

Sometimes

it felt like I could die

LEXIE: Is this a new beginning

or a sign to revisit the past?

-WESS MORGAN: Storm

-Storm

-The rain

-Rain

-The hurt

-Hurt

-pain

-Pain

-Storm

-Storm

MAURICE: It's been a while.

Can we talk?

WESS MORGAN: The pain

-I can take the storm

-Storm

-The rain

-Rain

-All the hurt

-Hurt

-Pain

-Pain

-I can take the storm

-Storm

-And all the rain

-Rain

-The hurt

-The hurt

The pain,

'cause you gave me hope

Hope

Lord, you gave me joy

Right in the midst

of the storm

Right in the midst

of the storm

When my life was broken

and torn

You wiped away the pain

THAN: Had a great time tonight.E

Want to grab brunch

this weekend?

WESS MORGAN:

I wanna thank you, Lord

Wanna thank you, Lord

Thank you

for a brand-new day

Yeah, yeah

Brand-new day

I wanna thank you, Lord

LEXIE:

Is something missing here?

WESS MORGAN:

For a brand-new day

LEXIE: Why do I feel like

I'm waiting for the shoe

to drop?

My, my-my-my, my-my-my

I wanna thank you, Lord

For a brand-new day

Ooh. Thank you.

This looks good.

-Thank you.

-Dig in.

All right.

I am excited to dig into this.

Speaking of excited,

I have a surprise for you.

Really?

[cellphone alert chimes]

Check your phone.

What is it?

Just check your phone.



I got us tickets to the concert.

I knew you love this artist,

so...

[gasps]

[Ethan chuckles]

Ethan, that's so thoughtful

of you.

I aim to please.

Um...

I...just knew that, uh,

something to you.

So, I took a listen, and, man,

I could definitely

say, like,

Wess Morgan is amazing.

I mean, I enjoy his music.

And like I said, that song

"Tears" really, really got me.

Um...

Yeah, and, uh...

[voice echoing] I wanted

to see his concert, but--

LEXIE: This is almost

too good to be true.

Is this even sustainable?

Can anyone be this perfect?

Or am I walking

into a beautiful illusion

destined to shatter?



[cellphone alert chimes]

[touchpad clicks]

[Ethan's voice echoing

indistinctly]

[sighs]

What do I really want?



[cellphone alert chimes]

[touchpad clicks]

JEREMIAH: [voice echoing]

It's important.

[sighs]

[birds chirping]



[sighs]

[touchpad clicks]

Hey, what's going on, y'all?

It's Ethan, doing one

of my morning walks.

And I just feel like

talking about love.

It's not

about how good you look,

and it's definitely

not about being perfect.

It's about being real,

being vulnerable,

and being brave enough

to show it.

LEXIE:

He seems to have it all--

charm, thoughtfulness,

emotional intelligence.

He's almost...too perfect.

[cellphone chimes]

ETHAN: [voice echoing]

How'd you sleep?

[touchpad clicking]

[cellphone alert chimes]

ETHAN: [voice echoing]

See you tonight.

LEXIE: Why is it that

the more perfect things seem,

the more I question them?

Am I looking for flaws

that aren't there,

or is it my gut

trying to tell me something?

[groans]

You look

absolutely stunning tonight.

Mm.

Well, you don't look

too bad yourself, Ethan.

Thank you.

Wow. This looks incredible.

And you even knew where

to put all the silverware.

Well, when I have

someone as beautiful as you,

I like to be

on my best behavior.

[both chuckle]

Shall we eat?

I made all this for you.

All for me?

Well, maybe some of this

were leftovers I had.

[clicks teeth]

[chuckles] Relax.

I'm just joking.

Ah. [chuckles]

So, that's pretty much

how I spend my college years.

Just exams,

books, and occasional parties.

What about you?

Ah, you know, the usual.

Studying, partying, friendships.

Some reckless decisions

here and there.

Mm. [chuckles]

Reckless decisions?

A rite of passage,

wouldn't you say? [chuckles]

Absolutely.

You know, you've been pretty

open about your college years.

Mm-hmm.

You never

really talked about how

you spent life after that.

What did you do

after graduation?

Mm.

Nothing particular. Just...

work, work, and more work.

I...um...

I didn't really have time

for nothing else. It's...

I don't wanna bore you

with the details.

Sure, but it's never

really boring to learn

more about someone

you care about, right?

Perhaps some other time.

Today should be

about the person.

Right?

Right.

So...you and Ethan, huh?

Things are getting

pretty serious.

I mean, it's different with him.

It's comfortable.

No drama.

-Ooh.

-No chaos. [scoffs]

And after everything

I've been through,

it's a welcome change.

So, this Ethan guy

sounds like a real catch.

You know, charming

and considerate

and successful. Okay.

But, I mean,

there's gotta be...something.

That's just it, Brooke.

I can't find the catch.

It's unnerving.

It's almost like

he's too...perfect?

Ugh.

I mean, is that even possible?

Well, wait.

Comfortable is good, Lex.

Comfortable's good.

But is it enough?

I mean...

do you see a future with him?

[scoffs]

I don't know.

I guess I never really

thought that far ahead.

Mm.

Right now

I'm just...enjoying my peace.

You know what they say, Lexie.

Sometimes people

can wear a mask for years.

Okay?

It's easy to get caught up

in the romance of things

and ignore all the red flags.

Exactly. And remember,

comfort's a double-edged sword.

You just don't wanna

get too comfortable,

let your guard down, and then

you end up getting hurt by him.

That's fair. I definitely

don't want to get hurt again.

[sighs]

You know what?

You're both right.

I've just been so used

to emotional roller coasters

that the thought

of something stable

seems so good and foreign.

Maybe it's too good to be true.

I should tread carefully.

Look, simple and good is...

it's what we all strive for.

But if your gut

is telling you

that something seems...off,

listen to it.

Sometimes too good to be true

is just that--

a faade.

[sighs]

You're right.

I've just been so eager

to find something stable that...

I may have overlooked

a few signs.

Exactly. Yes.

Keep your eyes open, Lexie.

And remember,

you're not alone, okay?

We care about you.

We're here for you.

And you can always turn to me

for realistic perspective.

[laughs]

Okay, Brooke. Okay, slow down.

You had a little bit

too much to drink.

Lex, look, it doesn't mean

that it's a faade.

Just have a conversation.

Make sure you're both

on the same page

emotionally speaking.

You don't wanna get hurt,

but you don't

wanna hurt him either.

[sighs]

Okay. It's time I have

a serious talk with him.

There you go. So, cheers

to making good choices.

-To making good choices.

-Come on, Brooke.

[sighs] To making good choices.

[glasses clink, laughter]



[cellphone alert chimes]

[touchpad clicks]

LEXIE: What's going on here?

Ethan seems like

the perfect match.

But yet Jeremiah

still has this hold on me.

What do I really want?

With Ethan,

it's like reading a book

with a predictable,

comforting plot.

But with Jeremiah,

it's like an intricate novel

full of twists and turns

hat both excite and terrify me.t

[sighs]

[cellphone alert chimes]

I can see so clear, ooh

You've been real

You said you never would

forsake me

Forsake me

You're my savior,

you're my shield

Ooh

I really enjoy spending time

with you, Lexie.

You're someone special,

not for nothing.

Like you did in Galilee

I feel the same way, Ethan.

I'm so grateful

for the Holy Spirit

You've given me

Mm-mm

But there's something I've been

meaning to talk to you about.

All right.

What's on your mind?

Yeah

You see, in the past,

I've made a habit of ignoring

red flags in relationships.

And I told myself

I wouldn't do that again.

And believe me,

you've been amazing.

[chuckles]

But...I just can't help but feel

like you're holding back.

Mm.

Almost like

you're hiding something.

I can see so clear, so clear

After the rain

Am I wrong?

Now that my tears are gone

Now that my tears

are gone

You're not wrong.

No more

I do hold back sometimes.

But it's not because

I don't care about you, Lexie.

It's because I'm afraid.

Afraid of what?

Afraid of...

losing something good.

I've made--

I've made mistakes, Lexie--

mistakes I'm not proud of.

I'm afraid my past will catch up

to me and ruin this.

Ethan, we all have a past.

You know, what matters is

who you are today

and who you strive to become.

And...striving to become

someone worthy of you.

But I do have fears.

Fears of failing in my career.

Fears of not living up

to the person I strive to be.

Fears of failing

in this relationship.

[sighs]

It's okay, Ethan.

Look...

vulnerability--

it's not a sign of weakness.

It's a sign that you're human.

Listen, uh, Lexie,

I know I should have

told you this earlier,

but the reason why

I didn't tell you

about my life after college

is because I...

Because...

after graduation,

I met the so-called

love of my life,

and...I...

...got married.

What?!

Why didn't you tell me this?

Well, I-I just--I...

Are you still married?

What? No.

No, we are not still married.

We've been divorced

for 10 months,

but we've been separated

two and a half,

close to three years.

[sighs]

For a while,

I did try to get back with her

and work things out.

But as time went on, I realized

that was not gonna happen.

I didn't tell you because...

I realized that I'd closed

that chapter in my life

a long time ago,

and I've been ready to move on

with the right person.

And when was

the last time you saw her?

Oh...two weeks ago.

-Two weeks?!

-That was just to give her

her mail that I received.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure you received

the package, all right.

You know what, Ethan?

We all have a past.

But how do you hide the fact

that you were married?

I'm truly sorry, Lexie.

I wasn't trying to hide

anything from you. I...

I didn't tell you because

I didn't wanna bring up

old hurts and pains.

You know what, Ethan?

It's very clear to me

that you and I were not

on the same page, all right?

And I need time to figure out

what the hell this is.

Hell, I need time to figure out

what I want right now.

But this?

This ain't giving. Okay?

Okay. Okay.

Where the hell is the door?

It's...

WESS MORGAN:

Hold on, friend

Trouble soon

Will end

Brighter days

Will soon be on their way

Life has pain

Sometimes sunshine

Sometimes rain

Just alone

Go ahead and cry

It's all right

Weeping only endures

for a night

Go ahead and cry

Keep the fight

And He will be right

by your side

Go ahead and cry

'Cause sometimes

You need to clear your sight

Go ahead and cry

[voices echo]

Go ahead and cry

[voice echoing] You decide

to come see a therapist?

[normal voice]

Tell me what's on your mind.

I don't know

what's wrong with me.

It's like my choice in men.

I'm drawn to the complexity,

the emotional roller coasters.

Why can't I just find something

more simple

and just be happy with that?

Well, relationships often

do mirror

the emotional obstacles

that we need to overcome

within our own selves.

Have you considered that?

[sighs] I mean, yes,

but it's exhausting.

I keep--I keep

going back and forth

between someone

who challenges me

emotionally and intellectually

and someone who

just makes my life easier.

Is it too much to ask

to have both?

No. No, Lexie,

it's not too much to ask for.

But it may be a lot

to expect out of one person.

See...

you're looking for a balance,

and that's perfectly normal.

But the bigger question is,

are you able to find

that balance in you first?

I don't know.

[voice breaking]

All I know is that I'm tired.

I'm tired of second guessing.

I'm tired of overthinking

every relationship.

I'm just tired.

[sniffles]

I just...

I just wanna be happy.

[sniffles]

And you deserve to be, Lexie.

But happiness is a journey.

It's not a destination.

And sometimes

it's about making hard choices.

voice echoes] And then learning[

to live with those choices.

Choices, choices.

I hate making choices.

[cellphone alert chimes]

[touchpad clicks]

What do I really want?

[cellphone alert chimes]

[sighs]

Sexy baby

I'm gonna stay right here

Don't leave me be, yeah

Can't let you go

I can't let you go

Can't let you go

Can't let you go, yeah

Can't let you go

Can't let you go, yeah

Can't let you go

I can't, I can't let

I can't let,

I can't let, yeah, yeah

I can't let, I can't let,

yeah, yeah

I can't let you go

You can't tell me

to let go, baby

Can't let you go

'Cause I love you,

I love you

Can't let you go

'Cause I love you, yeah

Can't let you go

Why do so many

relationships fail?

Love is important,

ut it's not enough on its own.b

Love can't carry

an entire relationship.

-[cellphone ringing]

It's about your self-awareness,-

your growth in a partnership.

WOMAN #1: What do you mean

by self-awareness?

-[ringing stops, beep]

-Self-awareness is not...

-Hey, girl.

-BROOKE: Hey, Lexie.

Oh, my goodness.

It's been forever.

How have you been?

Yeah, it has.

I've just been focused on me.

I decided to, you know,

have some me time.

But I've been good.

How have you been doing?

Uh, same ol', same ol'.

[chuckles]

Hey, we should grab coffee

or something this week.

How's Thursday?

Yeah, Thursday works for me.

Fantastic.

Oh, and by the way,

there's someone

who's been asking about you.

Who?

[chuckles]

Oh, just a good-looking,

very talented artist,

goes by the name Maurice Clark.

Really? How is he doing?

Oh, he's good. His paintings

are in high demand.

I mean, I am making a k*lling

off the commissions from them.

And he's not

doing too bad either.

And I know

he likes to spoil his woman,

so you should really think about

giving him a second chance.

I mean, I know

he really, really likes you.

Brooke...look...

WOMAN #2:

..be clear about your needs....

I'm flattered, really, but...

It's time I focus on myself,

you know?

Besides, I feel like

I was rebounding with Maurice.

I should have

just taken the time for myself

before getting involved

with anyone else.

Okay. Where is Lexie?

Because you sound

like Tiffany right now.

Babe, you don't have

a ring on your finger.

And there is nothing wrong

ith having a little fun, right?w

[chuckles]

Especially with a good-looking,

handsome, talented bachelor

like Maurice.

All right. Mm-hmm.

Bye, Brooke. [scoffs]

I'll see you Thursday.

Okay, bye.

WOMAN #1: So, it's not about

finding the right person.

WOMAN #2: Exactly.

It's not just about finding

the right person.

It's about becoming the right

person for yourself first.

Lexie, you have been

making excellent progress.

Tell me how you're feeling

about your relationships now.

I've come to realize that,

you know,

my choices in partners

reflect unresolved issues

from my childhood.

And I'm--I'm working on that.

I feel like it's helping me

see things a lot more clearly.

That's good, Lexie.

That is really good.

Excuse me. Can you come over

here and take a look

and see if anything

speaks out to you?

-Selling artwork today.

-Okay, let me see what you got.

-Oh, you do these?

-Yes, sir.

Can you imagine all these was

made by these hands right here?

These are good.

Thank you. Um, do you see

anything that speaks out to you

or anything

that you kind of like?

Um...not really.

All right, how about this?

Okay.

And I'm-a let you in

on a little secret.

Today the special is

buy one, get one half off.

The secret is my artwork gon' be

seen around the whole world.

So, right now would be

a good opportunity for the Lolo.

Plus, I do custom work.

-Custom?

-Yes, sir. Custom work.

Actually, I got an idea.

What you have in mind?

That's a significant step

forward.

But how do

you feel about yourself?

[sighs] That's a good question.

I feel...happier.

But also a little bit

overwhelmed sometimes.

And right now I'm just in

a place where I'm trying

to figure out what the right

choice is for me, you know?

Love isn't just about choosing

the right person.

Lexie, it's about

being the right person.

And have you thought about

what that would mean to you?

Not as much as I should have,

you know?

I've been so focused on

evaluating the men

that I've dated

that I lost sight of what

it means to evaluate myself

and how I move in relationships.

Well, it is a common tendency

for us to look

on the outward when it comes

to evaluating relationships.

But it's equally as important

to look on what's inside.

See, being the right person,

it means understanding

what my needs are,

also to defining

what my boundaries are,

and then being a significant

help to my partner.

It's a two-way street.

Yeah, you're right.

I've been so focused

on trying to find perfect person

that I...I failed to realize

that it's about me being

a better partner as well.

Exactly.

And remember that you both

are a work in progress.

See, we shouldn't

just look for perfection.

That's not gonna happen.

It's about finding someone

that complements

our imperfections

and then vice versa.

Wow, that's so beautifully said.

I really needed to hear that.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

So, how'd

your therapy session go?

It was...enlightening.

You know,

I'm beginning to understand

why I've made the choices

I have in relationships,

and I've been working on some

deep-seated issues

from my past, so...

Hey, that's courageous, Lex.

Self-discovery

can be challenging.

Mm-hmm. It is,

but it's also incredibly

liberating in a way.

You know, I feel like

I'm peeling back layers

and getting closer

to the core of who I am,

you know, what I really

need in a relationship, so...

That's incredible, Lex.

You know,

I can truly see the growth

since you started going

to therapy.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Tiff.

Just takes some time, you know?

Well, good things

take time, right?

Right, and I'm worth the wait.

[laughs] Yes, ma'am.

Well, hey, look, I gotta go,

but when I get back,

let's get together.

Love you, girl.

All right.

Sounds good. Love you, too.

[computer chimes]

Hmm.

[cellphone alert chimes]

[touchpad clicks]

ETHAN: Hey, Lexie.

It's been a while.

I've been thinking about you.

I hope you're doing well.

Listen, I'm here for you.

I'm ready to talk,

so just let me know.

No rush, no pressure.

Take care.



[sighs]

LEXIE: Should I even engage?

This can either be

a much needed closure

or reignite an old flame.

Or maybe

it's time to face the past

and close this chapter

once and for all.

Should I take

this leap of faith?

I just need to be careful

not to get swept away

by an emotional current.



[sighs]

[beep]

[sighs]

[line rings]

JEREMIAH: Hello?

Hello?

All right. I'm ready to listen.

But we need

some healthy boundaries

for this conversation.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Lexie, thank you

for meeting me here.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

But...I'm trying to understand

if I really miss you

or...the idea of you.

Let me ask you this question.

You believe in true love, right?

I'd like to think so.

Well, good.

That's why I had

to meet you in person.

[sighs]

I know this conversation's

long overdue,

but I need to know,

can people really change?

I'd like to think so.

The real question is...

are you willing to find out?

Lexie...

let me show you something.

[gasps and laughs]

Oh, my God, Jeremiah. It's...

It's perfect!

That's exactly how I see you.

Every heartbeat

Perfection.

Every breath

Is filled with thoughts

of you

I am so lost...

Lexie...

Without you

And I don't know what to do



Will you marry me?

And that brings us to today.

While my journey wasn't easy,

it's made me who I am.

And it's made me

a better person

at navigating the complexities

of relationships.

That, and hopefully a therapist

that can help others

do the same.

Well, Lexie, that was

incredibly enlightening.

It's comforting to know

that even a therapist

has had her share

of relationship challenges.

Yeah, it was actually

very reassuring.

It makes what we're

going through more tolerable.

Well, I'm glad that my story can

help bring a new perspective.

And it's essential

to remember, you know,

at the end of the day, trials

and tribulations in love--

no one's exempted from that.

So, what's the next step for us?

Well, the next step would be

what therapy is all about--

open and honest conversation.

Same way I had to go through

my imperfections

and vulnerabilities,

you, too, will reach a point

where you need to crack down

the issues of why you came

in here in the first place.

Hmm. And...we're...

ready to try.

Hmm?

[mouths word]

[chuckles]

Well, that's all we could

ask for at the end of day--

someone who's willing

to try their best.

Well, that and you should always

remember you're never alone.

You have each other,

and you have this amazing place

to explore, to grow,

and hopefully heal.

[knock on door]

Come in.

[door opens]

Hey.

[Lexie giggles]

Everyone, this...is my husband.

Hope I'm not interrupting.

I just thought

you might like to go to lunch.

Yes, Ethan.

Oh, Ethan. [chuckles]

Hey.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

Pleasure's all mine.

Listen, your wife has been

incredibly helpful.

Well, she is the best

at making things better.

Well, your story

has certainly given us

a lot to think about, Lexie.

Yeah. And we are ready

to take our first steps

inspired by the stories

that you've told us.

[chuckles] Well,

I'm delighted to hear that.

And I'm really excited

to help you

navigate through your journey

as well.

-You ready?

-Mm-hmm.

Let's go.

[chuckles]

Oh, these are so beautiful.

Thank you.

Only the best

for the woman I love.

[chuckles]

Wow. We've sure come

a long way, haven't we?

We have.

And I'd take that journey

a thousand times over

as long as it's with you.

[laughs]

WESS MORGAN: I'm just glad

you bring me out

Might be days and days

with no end

I am so blessed

Living the faithful life

Yes, I am

Nothing compares

Nothing compares

to your goodness

I see you have given me

-You've given me

-Everything

-Everything that I need

-That I'll ever need

I've never asked

for any more

Ooh, ooh

-I am so blessed

-I am so blessed

Living the faithful life

Yeah, oh

-It's a good life, y'all

-And the best thing I see

I can't say I deserve,

but I'm sho' nuff living it.

That I'll ever need

Giving me everything I need.

I've never asked

for any more

[vocalizing]

So happy

Yes, I am

Living this faithful life

'Cause y'all know

it's a good life.

Come on over here

Where the table is fresh

[vocalizing]

I'm so blessed

Can't be stressed

It's all about

the blessed life.

It's the good life.
