Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man

Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection

Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple

We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
