you "take" me for a ride,
to your sweet mystery i cannot decode,
leaving me wanting for more,
of the adrenaline-pack adventures with you.

you "give" me strength,
to my weakness i no longer hold,
for you show me that i can do more,
to this life once rigid and loose.

you "made" me change,
from the specter i was with myself,
to the man i now wanted to be,
that is exuberant and defined as ever.

and i "hope" that you'd see,
that i learned love from you.
letting me realize,
there's more than what's in the heart.

that you, "take' someone in
and "give" all you've got,
and you "make" a change out of it,
in "hopes" that someone loves you back.

risking yourself for the one
who you wanted to be with.
