A million and one images

[Intro]
We were friends before we became lovers,
Before desire ever called our names.
December 2019, I still remember,
You gave me your heart and lit the flame.
Hearts in our throats, hiding from prying eyes,
Scared of what the world might see,
But God came through and kept us covered,
And somehow love kept choosing you and me.

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you moved away,
But distance only fed the fire.
Every mile between our bodies
Made me want you even more.

[Chorus]
I've got a million and one images
Running circles through my mind,
Every first, every road, every secret,
Every touch we left behind.
My lover, my friend, my beautiful madness,
My paparazzi, my favorite view,
If I wrote a million songs about us,
They still wouldn't say enough of you.
[Verse 2]
I cherish the oasis we created,
A little world that belonged to us,
Crossing into Cotonou, flying out to Crete,
Breakfast in Athens with no need to rush.
Train rides down to Ibadan,
Swimming beneath the Lagos sun,
Eating fish together in Calabar,
Every journey became another first for us.

Walking new streets side by side,
Chasing something better, chasing dreams,
Every city holds a piece of our story,
Every road became a memory


MJ,Do you remember?
Waking up together in your home,
Eating, cooking together, caring for the kids,
Making ordinary moments feel like our own.

Hours and hours talking on the phone,
Reels upon reels saying, "I love you."
Even when the miles were between us,
Your little signs kept pulling me through.

[Verse 3]
And baby, I love the heat between us,
The horny way you make me lose control,
I miss your nipples, especially the left one,
The first one that drove me out my soul.
I miss tasting you, hearing that sigh,
Feeling your body tighten around mine,
The way you gasp when pleasure takes you,
The way we disappear from space and time.

I remember your legs raised while washing up,
And laughing at the things lovers do,
How we can cuddle, fart, and still want each other—
That's the crazy comfort I found in you.

[Hook]
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
All those firsts, all that fire?
MJ, do you remember?
Do you remember?
How distance only grew desire?

[Verse 4]
Do you remember? Any time we meet
Fire burning before I crossed the door,
Straight to the bed, no need for talking,
Two hungry bodies asking for more.
Do you remember? That time in lagos-Sitting on me and dousing my Anger, making me forget.
MJ,Do you remember?
So many express roads still carry our memories,
Parked beneath the dark, stealing time,
Every street became part of our story,
Every secret somehow became ours.

Then came the fear that we were over,
Damn, I couldn't picture life that way.
After all the beginnings I stood beside,
How could our forever just fade away?

Do you remember?
That wild ride home from the comedy show,
The quarrel, the chaos, the fight, the passion, the things we've been through,
Somehow even trouble turned into a memory
Because every road kept leading to us.

[Final Chorus]
I've got a million and one images
Running circles through my mind,
Foreign streets and hotel sheets,
Long phone calls and stolen time.
Every first, every fear, every fire,
Every crazy thing we've made it through,
If I had to live it all again,
Baby, I'd still choose you.

A million and one memories,
And another comes into view.
Before you ever became my lover,
You were my friend—
And I still love you.
