Side By Side

when I was alone I only knew of want
somebody to take care of me
treat me like a king
stroke my ego when I felt low
as selfish as it seems

seeing you I saw potential
it was something that hit me deeper
a sexy work of art
but what your heart showed
was unconditional love

now that we're together I still want
but what I didn’t expect was
what I would want is to give my all
my life, my body, my soul
if only it means making you happy

so as we walk side by side through life
we build each other as people
you showed me how to live as partners
it’s no longer what you can do for me
no, it’s turning both our dreams into reality
