Kiara and Shanice This Time

From AllMusic.com:
A moderately successful debut by the team of Gregory Charley and John Winston. This duo debuted in the late '80s and got some mild attention from their lead single "Every Little Time," then actually got a hit with the second release "This Time," thanks to a cute/self-effacing vocal spot from Shanice Wilson. But the duo, whose roots went back to the early '80s in Detroit, simply didn't have enough in their arsenal to consistently crank out hits in the necessary manner to ensure steady urban contemporary airplay and exposure.

Wow!!! 88....I was a few years out of high school and living with this girl that I thought I was in love with. Fast-forward to June of 2019. I am one year away from retirement and everyone is gone. My entire immediate family has passed away save one uncle (Ahmad). This song is a reminder of carefree, simple times that, at the time, you just couldn't imagine would one day disappear. Young people.... cherish your family and friends. You may wake one day and they will all be gone.

Kiara and shanice “This Time” I removed your picture from my wall Now what used to be a house too big Is now a room too small Everytime I close my eyes I'd realize I couldn't find enough things to do I never really got over you I wrote you letters I got no reply And just when I was walking out on Love To my surprise Don't you wanna come inside Where it's warm and dry Instead of standing in the doorway With tears in your eyes []This time -- I won't back down This time -- I'll stand my ground I don't think you realize What went on inside Now I'm never gonna give up Until I'm back by your side I fought off heartaches, one by one And when I was about to give up I'd realize the day was gone Everytime I'd close my eyes I'd see you cry I can't forget the look on your face Baby when I said goodbye I read your letters each and every night With intent and pen in hand I was much too weak to write Every night I'd pace the floor until I couldn't take it anymore I was just about to give up Then you opened the door Before we went wrong, you know We used to be so right I know we should surrender to love But we gave up without a fight I just wanna let you know I never should've let you go Boy I wanna be back in your arms So let's try it once More

I stumbled upon this song that I had completely forgotten about. Kiara’s other single, “The Best of Me” holds a special place so quite naturally “This Time” brought back memories as well.
