Falling in love with you was like cliff diving into rushing waters, I knew I would drown, but I jumped anyways.

Nothing I did could stop me from being dragged down to the bottom, the sea of you engulfed me.

Water filled my lungs and you just watched me. I was screaming, kicking, and doing everything I could to stay afloat.

I forgot to tell you I can't swim.

Girl, it is just us two
Together, we build our foundation
We care for one another
And make a beautiful sensation
Our thoughts are together as one
Our love shines as bright as the tree
Sharing and caring for another
Together, we walk in sweet harmony

To a point
We over promise too much of ourselves.
In spite of how high we value ourself,
We actively listen in effort.
Refilling how much of ourselves we spill.
I am not ashamed to admit that at times I need help.
But it is in these times where I fully understand.
That there won't be another you.

You smile and help me realize that I never want to lose
any piece of you.
Stopping the spill to see how much you effect me.
In reaction to a sudden action of silence.
Most beloved.
It is especially important.
Where we don't have to prove anything to each other.
Just knowing that you are there is enough.
Just know that your love is enough.

It is in these moments.
I stop to think.
Where would I be without you.
Unimaginable
Be there for her
Hold her in your arms
Always guide and protect her
Give her those loving charms
Be the one who stays dedicated
Carry out your mission and reach for the goal
Love your lady unconditionally
Enlighten and enrich her soul
Girl, with each moment that we share
We cherish everything
The magic is in the air
It is the bliss that we both bring
With each tender kiss
We both feel the fire
We lift one another up
And take each other higher
Girl, as we embark on this journey
We will always have one another
It is simply just you and I
We're in this thing together
The path may become rocky at times
We may take a slip and fall
We rise above the struggle
And together, we stand tall

It’s not despair but dis-pair, you and me instead of unity
Together we are a part, separate we are apart
Side by side we start the spark
Creating art, a walk in the park
But without you, there is no us
Wondrous becomes blunderbuss
So how about you stay with me
We live together for eternity
I help you keep your sanity
And you help me see humanity
