breaking patterns, forging paths
I doubt I’m what His mother had in mind
when she pictured the woman for her son
happily for me, as He says
He doesn’t date by committee
a sentiment I can fully get behind
seems everyone has an opinion
but there’s only two that really matter
those of the couple in question
when it comes down to it
we both know what we want
more to the point, what we need
and that’s a much harder concept to see
let’s face it
neither of us is children
sure, desire ignites fires
but it takes determination to sustain it
and I’m weary of warming my body
while my heart catches a chill
when those flames burn too low
because only one of us tried to maintain it
{and yes, that statement goes both ways
I’ve had my share of attempts
only to find I wasn’t invested}
but He’s chosen me
sometimes I don’t understand why
I’m aware I can be a real handful
it's a lot just trying to navigate my peaks & my valleys
truth is, I’m sometimes a bit of a cyclone
never sure which way the wind blows
but then again
He comes from tornado alley
so I guess He’s a natural
He’s got this
I’m loyal & I’m true
painfully honest
and never afraid to be vulnerable
a trait He considers quite valuable
says vulnerability cannot be faked
making it easier to trust
I guess it’s true what they say
there really is someone for everyone
I’m just grateful we found Us
