We go along through life finding, then losing

Things and people - the latter by so choosing

For when connections we've made start unravelling

It is by choice, for we then elect to go travelling



In search of others to become our life companions

Someone who won't demand - or make any coercion

To attempt to get us to severely change our ways

Which will only cause US to get lost in the daze



We each need someone in our lives to accept

Us - just as we are, and so will not neglect 

The heart which makes us so very passionate

About all we do and are and so - the aggregate



Shall not get lost if they accept our stance

And then the wonder they saw when the lance

Was thrust so pointedly in their direction

Turned to butter amidst so much affection



So to those I say turn back that very clock

And remind yourself of the magical stops

We pulled out together as we did evolve

And won each other before this resolve



Set in and hardened into solid cement

So now this mind of yours will not relent

And the demands you have made create doors

Behind which you've created your own laws



And as you lock yourself forever in behind

This barrier which is only a state of mind

Remind yourself you are missing the wonder

We did share - before you dragged me under ...
