I've known your sorry epitome
And I want to make it mine
No I want to abolish it
And replace it with vibrant memories
Ones that you can breathe in
And relish in
Draining all the sad sappy nonsense
And giving you something so real and true
Pure in all delinquent ways
And rough like a bright tear drop
I'm going to grasp your love
And never let it go
I'm going to harness the overwhelming tide somehow I promise
And you can have my hope of love which will soon come
I will not make you whole and blemish free
And you can never complete me
We can just be there for the chance to glimpse it's changing
And to shield it from all harm
It will making going our separate ways easy, flawless
And we will seek the ways together, and singular
Because you cannot love another until you love yourself
And when you do, dreams are sure to burst
Into pockets of dripping sunshine
And I will be there waiting for you
Love will become easy when whole and understanding
