Do indeed stay close In the hard times, I have stuck by you And had your back in The face of your ******* Tirades, Come flowers in hand to bind wounds That you inflicted upon yourself, As well as me, And not just emotional but Some which spilled real blood too, Yet always here to do your dishes, To cook, Clean your hob and hold you, Murmur love through your anger And your pain, I am far more than a true friend, I am partner Protector and Lover Without end
