I am better with us together
Better than I was when I was alone
We’re both better with each other
Than when each of us was only one
We two together made me make a start
Toward a new approach to the life I’m living
Which never would have happened when apart
Apart from you and all the life you’re giving
With us together, your life flows into my own
Your influence wore down my harsh self-assertion
As water’s current smooths adamantine stone
Or discordant edges in a person
Like a river’s constant, faithful current
You give me consistent affirmation,
My heart secure with your encouragement,
I work my dreams into manifestation
All with you and all because of you
I incarnate learning with confidence
Ever seeking teachings to help me grow
And guide my heart in spiritual ascendance
Our love is a crucible, burning
With refining fire that purifies
All our aspirations, all our learning
Rising to a finer us, to higher highs
