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.
