when we open up and share
when we open up and care
when we start the affair
when we’re naked and bare
in the lovely night’s air
when we decide we are a pair
we’ll embrace and hug like a bear
we’ll be so aware
of each other and our welfare
until one day the dream turns into a nightmare
out of nowhere
and you declare its all in the name of warfare
as you step on my toe and pull my arm hair
as I try to sleep in my comfy nightwear
you exchange a glower for a loving stare
I know it is you speaking from dispair
but I have to leave before before it gets there
you know where I mean and I must prepare
so I run as fast as I can up the stairs
I get on my knees and I say a little prayer
and soon it is over and you say its unfair
that I can just walk away in my old footwear
letting down my bunned long blond hair
trying my best to let go and repair
my dearest true soul and take it elsewhere
beyond where it has been, creating a new lair
where I can be whole again, starting in a new square
eventually I will love again and forget the dispair
I’ll sit in another single armchair
until it is time to share another set of cookware
when others look and say what a great couple they’re
and it all starts again when I am brave and take up the dare
I’ve learned my best not to compare
so I’ll let it be love, precious and rare.
