five years

you’re the water to my murky oil

I’m cheese to your dusty chalk

sense and the incomprehensible

no one could think we would work.

we never thought the two of us

would flow beyond just friends

time and love and circumstance

deep beyond what we could mend.

we burnt the bridge that we had trod

put flames out with measured tears

decisions made, surprised and shod

and here we stand now, five years.

your beautiful face, constant worrier

I support you in your many dark times

you raise me higher than my oozey mire

your smiles, your troubles are mine.

so worthy wonder that feels unworthy

we saddle up to once more ride

for more joyful moments otherworldly

and conquer it all, side by mismatched side.
