To walk with you through
Forests of jade,
Hand in hand as
Summer fades,
Is more peaceful than
Walking alone.

To drive with you to
Places unseen,
Hearts connected as
We live in this dream,
Is more enjoyable than
Driving alone.

To be in your presence as we
Walk this crowded street,
Fingers interlocked as
We happily greet those we meet,
Is more comforting than
Being alone.
