We became entwined
as we danced our dance
into the drifting future

I closed my eyes and inhaled the love
that God sent me from above.

This perfect creature that you gave to me
that unshackled my wings, and set me free

When I am lost
You find me

When I am scared
You're behind me

When I am wild
You bind me

But you ALWAYS, set me free.


My son was born that year
and you were there my dear
you took me to the hospital
and your love took away my fear.

At the mall you saw me
the way that I could be
You watched me dance in the rain
and watched it set me free.

We stayed up until dawn again
Just to play video games til 5 am
We beat the entire game together
then fell to sleep in the den.

We slept on the couch that night,
in the morning you woke with a fright
if Nan had walked down to see us there
we would be up for a fight

So you said why not back up
to where we should have began
Lets start over, start as friends
I almost turned tail and ran

My hands got all sweaty
My heart pounded in my chest
You looked me in the eye
and said it is for the best

Then your serious stature
turned jovial and made me weak
You wrapped your arms around me
and placed a kiss upon my cheek..

I could never, JUST be your friend
I have to walk beside you
until the world comes to an end.

You were the only one I talked to
You were my only friend
I started to get scared
that it would one day end,
and as you got busy
I started to look around
to find a friend
I put my ear to the ground

I met a few ladies,
who beyond a shadow of a doubt
Would only, Spread drama all about

And Guy friends are never going to be
Because it seems each one I meet
Just will fall in love with me

Our parental figures did not approve
the choices that we made
and it had us both afraid
As time went on,
as time often does
They had to like the other, Because

PHONE FOR YOU!!
Was the common phrase
that started each of our days
We would call each other
and talk for hours
about everything, from love, to super powers...

The time passed so fast
that it seems to meld together
just like our lives have
we will stay this way forever.

After I had fallen completely in love
I thanked God for this gift from above
I didn't see the shackles you carried then
It was my biggest mistake, but I'd make it again.

You had to make sure that it was done
I was CRUSHED, when you said she was the one
I cried, part of me died, I was destroyed inside
But then, Recognition of the beauty in the broken heart
Lifted me up, and I could look at my reflection..
It was a brand new start.

I grew so much in that short time
I learned that standing up for myself wasn't a crime
and I showed you the kindness with tears in my eyes
and your eyes only asked the question, Why.

The next few weeks you seemed to live in my home
Learning our way of life, where we struggle and roam
And in that time we all were growing
Tony inside me I was already showing
and I became accustom to your hand in mine
and to the smile that left all of my fears behind
that day in the woods when I lost my head
you found my sanity, if not for you I might be dead
You kissed my lips and brought me clarity, lucidity
You set me free.
