BUT TWO

I'll tell you something frightening

That I think you ought to know

Love's more than a plant

Or tree

That you water to make grow

There's actually something more

Than and emboldened sense or daring

A precondition in the first place

That you must be a perfect pairing!

You cannot "make it work"

Those traditions are a lie

You must find your perfect woman

You must find your perfect guy

There's a match for you

And you'll know it

When you hear that voice within

That says with perfect clarity

"I'd do anything for them!"

Until then it's just a farce

It's a silly uphill battle

If that anything you'd do

Doesn't come from every angle

And it can't ONLY be in you

They must have that constant longing

Ever sure in their belief

Of your mutual belonging

Then you never "have a fight"

You have subtle disagreements

That thrive on communication

And the love you both believe in

Respect becomes a way of life

Tenderness the breath you breathe

You never long for "something better"

Never once dare think to leave

You're just with that perfect partner

That reflection that is you

When you find that perfect pairing

There's never one

But two
