You in my Life

With you in my life
Nothing's simple
Things taken for granted
Slip away abruptly
In unnecessary chastisement
The safety of ignorance has been broken
Shattered, the shield of innocence

And for what?
Another being in my life
Another story to tell
Another set of rules to assimilate to

But looking at these past few moments
Before it is now a blur
But crystalline enough to know
You've left your mark
You've made your changes

Seeing the world through your eyes
And letting me embrace your virtues
I see that
With you in my life

The ice can always grow colder
And the fire will always grow warmer

The sweetest things don't come in wrappers
But rather behind closed lips

When I'm with you
Stars aren't the brightest things at night
Warmth doesn't come from fire
Friends don't always have to come first
And heaven's overrated.
