"hey mom?"

"yeah baby?" i asked.

"can i show you a song i've been working on?"

i smiled, "of course."

she sat down at the piano and took a deep breath.

"i don't usually sing songs lie this...it's really slow."

i smiled, "it's okay. just show me."

she smiled, "okay."

she placed her fingers on the keys and took a deep breath.

she started playing and i could already feel the emotion in her song.

"Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

she closed her eyes and i smiled, i love this sam.

so emotional and loving. so...raw.

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

her body swayed as she played her song and i felt tears drip down my eyes from this song.

it's clearly about selena. a beautiful song about selena.

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more"

she stopped and opened her eyes, "it's not amazing i'm still scrappy on it bu-"

i cut her off by hugging her tightly.

"i love it so much sammy. it's beautiful. and selena will love it so so much."

she smiled, "really? you think so?"

"i know so. sam i have never heard a song more beautiful in my entire life."

she smiled and i could tell she was super happy about it.

"am going to play it at the VMA's this year and stitches too. her birthday is the day of the vma's so i want it to be her present."

"sam that's great. selena will love it. are you keeping it a secret?"

"yeah. i don't want to tell her just yet. she will hear it at the awards show in a few days."

i nodded and smiled, "i'm so proud of you babes." i said and kissed her cheek.

"why don't we record this song and i will record mine since they are both rough drafts so far. we still need a few more instruments and ta-da! new song coming at you!" i said and did a victory dance.

sam laughed, "you are so weird."

i smiled, "i know. now let's go. sing that soon to be hit song one more time."
