I love you … but of course, you already know this. What you might not know is that I often struggle to discover new ways to express how much I care. I’d normally just buy you something, but that feels too superficial and predictable for the moment.

There seems to be this undeniable chemistry between us, but I can’t help but feel like we’re stuck in a holding pattern. The more I open up to the possibility of a relationship with you, the more you pull back and cower in the face of this potentially blossoming love. I just don’t understand why you continue to hold back.

I was recently stopped in the grocery store by a male reader who recognized me from some of my old Fly Guy videos. After briefly exchanging pleasantries, the conversation quickly became serious, as he began to lay out a series of dating mishaps that he had recently endured. “How do I turn the tide Fly Guy,” he pleaded. “It seems like I keep sabotaging myself with idiotic decisions. Can you offer me any advice?”

In “Always and Forever,” this week’s Fly Lyrics Feature, Marques Houston proves that as long as it comes from the heart, your approach can and will be successful…no matter how unorthodox the message may be.
