Dear June
Rihanna · Other Songs - Rihanna
words cannot describe how much i miss you
from our little walks
to our little talks
im a little shocked
and i need to dock
these feelings that i hold inside
dear june, its been awhile
do you have a phone number i can dial?
if i dont get it now i think that i might die, no, no
im exaggerating, but i dont want to be deteriorating
ill have a rain cloud and its filled with doubt
and i dont want that so I'll let it out
how i feel about you
if you had my view
it would all seem clear
like a diamond, my dear
i wish i knew
if you need me too
I'll be by your side
forever.
dear june,
words cannot describe how much i need you
from our little walks
to our little talks
im a little shocked
and i need to dock
these feelings that i hold inside
from movie scenes
to goodnight dreams
without a doubt
just think about
the F-U-T-U-R-E
you radiate like sunshine
and my teddy bear at night time
we can cuddle like penguins do for heat
i know im right this time
i see the light that binds
and i heard it through the grapevine
that you wanted to be mine
i hope that you believe
for sure ill never leave
we'll stick like super glue
dear june, i love you.
dear june,
words cannot describe how much i love you
from our little walks
to our little talks
im a little shocked
and i need to dock
these feelings that i hold inside

Dear June
Released in 2012, 'Dear June' stands as a poignant centerpiece on Rihanna's 'Unapologetic' album, marking a significant shift in her musical direction toward R&B and soulful pop. The track features a minimalist production style that emphasizes emotional vulnerability, with Rihanna's voice delivering a raw, confessional performance that resonates deeply with themes of heartbreak and self-discovery. Unlike the high-energy dance tracks that often defined her earlier career, this recording showcases her ability to craft intimate, atmospheric soundscapes that prioritize lyrical depth and melodic nuance over commercial radio formulas. The song's enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the quiet moments of reflection following a relationship's end, solidifying its place as a defining track of her mid-2010s discography.
