Baby Steps

Why do they call it heartbreak
When the rest of my body hurts too?
Why do the lies and the pain you cause
Bring me closer to you?
How come I don't mind
The chronic headaches throughout the day
The ones caused by the tears
That I produce regularly?
I say that the arguments we have
And the many problems that flourish
Make us stronger and the relationship more supported
Every time we talk
I fall a little harder
Every time we hug
I just want to hug tighter
I love it when you embrace me
In your arms when I'm tired
And hold my hand and
Play with my fingers in silence
It makes me feel so loved
Like nothing can ever separate us
But then I say something
That sets you off
And the love is distant between us
I know you're tired of it
And probably tired of me too
I'm ready to stop
How about you?
Of course it'll happen sometime
But let's not make it happen often
Remember those seven days we avoided arguing?
Wasn't too hard was it?
It'll be harder with all these rumors
And whispers between new enemies
But I'm ready to fight for our love
The love between you and me
