We had no perfect flow that let us float peacefully down the river at sunset Our time together has been an unpredictable ride of rough waters and smooth bends Sailing down the river at dawn and not stopping Even when the stars come out and all we see are the white caps of hell Pushing and pulling, trying to wash us from the safety of our raft We persist on against the odds and negative tongue of others Because even though the ride has been almost too much We still cling together with a death grip of our slippery hands Knowing somewhere along the line the sun will rise and the bend will be smooth Opening up into something so worthwhile That we'd go through this hell of a ride again and again Because what we have has always been worth it
