How long before you see it
You have spent years occupying that ringside seat
Observing everyone of my victories and every defeat
Every step towards each foe collated with incinerating heat
every move in clear detail down to the faintest heartbeat
You've been there for it all
And yet you find it quite the feat
To understand that I want you in this ring with me
In here with me where the fight is thickest and no longer in the stands with the on looking fleet
In here where you and I together can face anything...throwing synchronized punches as potent as concrete
In here where your voice and your touch can immediately heal me back to my feet
Your effects have me standing even taller and more graceful than the most slender athlete
I want you ms. Anonymous
My princess, my queen, my everything
At the end of our bout
With all our foes on their knees
Our hands will be raised as the victors
With the entire ring becoming ours doing as we please
And as a symbol of our fight, and the obstacles we beat
I'll place upon your finger a ring...
Our love finally complete

The concept of this verse is to share a different outlook on relationships and highlight the importance of teamwork while working towards the ultimate goal of growth. My decision to expose the challenges before illustrating signs of growth is absolutely intentional and telling. Growth does not surface without fighting through a few uninvited obstacles. I found myself wishing for growth in my relationships while never willing to fight through anything. The more we are able to visualize relationships as a tag-team boxing match where teamwork and communication skills are incredibly pivotal, the more knockouts we will be able to deliver. ..."throwing SYNCHRONIZED punches as potent as concrete".
