[ We're in this together. ]

We're in this together.
We laugh, we love, we go through life,
We enjoy, we try to take everything in strife,

We go to school, we grow up, we move away,
We go to school, we fall in love, we graduate
We get jobs we hate, we grow, we stay in love,
Friends of ours so ahead, married'n bait,

Maybe they were right to marry early, not waste time,
I am behind, watching them raise children, buy houses in their prime,

Despite the small part of me wondering what it's like,
I think we're in this together, and know it's mostly hike,

That's where we're good, we keep each other grounded,
It's not about changing the other, or living stuck and bounded,

You keep me, me, and I remind you of wonderful man I fell in love with,
A man so wonderful to be abitious and hopeful, curious and endearing,

Cause when the daily grim of paycheck to paycheck, service,
And plans for your own business keep being pushed back,

You have such high hopes but clouded by the grey,
That's when I'm there with you,

Cause it's not just about painting the blue skies,
It's about seeing through the grey,

Seeing you through the grey,
And reminding that you're still all the qualities I fell in love with.

We're in this together,
We laugh, we love, we go through life,
We enjoy, we try to take everything in strife,

If love makes you hate every other part of your life, and it is worth it,
Then it need be love that repairs and supports those other parts and bits,

I want to repair and support those aspects of your life,
I hope whatever changes this inspires in my life will rid my strifes,

I think we're good because we don't settle, and we don't let each other settle,
I believe in us because we are ambitious, and we are in love,
Each of these so much that it would only take the other to disrupt the balance,
I think we're a fit because we look out for that balance in the other,
I know we're really in love, because we've both offered to give up a love this good,
To keep the other from letting this in-balance go to long,

I fell in love with you nearly a couple years ago,
I really fell in love with you because I don't remember ever loving anything more,
I don't remember being willing to give up so much for anyone,
And not being able to see any of the things as actually given up compare to the thing I have kept, you,
I don't remember feeling so wonderful by just hearing your voice, seeing your picture, or remembering you were in my life,

I love you.
I don't think you'd ever try to change me, or I you.
But love isn't about change.
Love is about loving despite change,
Because change is a natural part of life that occurs,
Love is about being able to take a change together,
And not having to be afraid of it,
I think real love isn't afraid of change,
And I think change can't hurt real love.

This is one crazy time baby, you know this,
I am scared sometimes still,
I have never done anything like this,
First times are always scary,
I know you have your doubts and concerns of a new chapter,
But if love isn't afraid of change,
Then let's take our love and put our individuals to rest with it,
Together, our love can do anything,
If we believe it, surrender to it, and embrass it. 
Like in the beginning, we make each other good,
We keep each other balanced,
We remind each other of how to be true to ourselves,
We inspire each other to go after our dreams,
We love each other so much.

No matter what, right now, I feel like everything about us is right.
There are some kinks to work out no doubt.
But we're still so good it's almost scary,
And if we were perfect, then I'd really worry.


Happy anniversary baby.
I love you.
I support you.
I am there for you.
I want to be with you.
This isn't a sacrifice, it's an investment in our future and my own happiness.
