I know that she isn't the rose for me
But I find myself plucking her
Holding her in my vase designed for someone else
And try as I might, I can not throw her away
Lord, I am trying right now
But every time I look at this beautiful flower
I stop

I found you
Like a child crawling back to his parent
You never left
But I did
I deserted our nightly conversations
I stopped waking up each morning praising you
I thought I could side step you
And I was wrong
You have always been important and always will be
But some days I forget that
I put my pretend desires first
But you didn’t
You sent her to me
A friend who doesn’t side step you
One who doesn’t just praise you each morning and night
But in every conversation
She exemplifies your qualities in ways I used to only dream about
She shows her love for your beauty in her words
She teaches me about your strength in her actions
And she reminds me why I need you
Because I do
I am a child, you’re the parent
I’ll try to test my limits
But you already know them
You know my weakness, my strength
You know me better than anyone else ever could
I have started to praise you again
At night, I sit on the couch eager for our conversation to begin
In the morning, I jump out of bed, ready to shout your name
I may have stupidly decided to live by myself
But like a child crawling home
I have found you again
