How’s it go again?
He loves me…
He loves me not?
Forget forget-me-nots
When my stomach was in knots
As I stomached all the thoughts
of will he stay or will he go.
What once was just for show
now lifts me high and sinks me low
Yes my heart continues growing
Even while we’re blow by blowing
and I know what I now know…
There’s only stay; there is no go.
No need for any flowers
We’ve spent way too many hours
living in our ivory towers.
Where others’ love quickly sours
In thunderous screams and tear-filled showers
We’ve developed superpowers.
Fighting demons so nearby
Holding close just he and I
Knowing days and years gone by
When we almost didn’t try
Our story may be long
Yet we’re here and going strong
Tangled in both right and wrong
Laughing as we go along
Clouds dance with rainbows
when you’re with the one you chose
Shoving off and pulling close
Not easy work, heaven knows.
