Life's Greatest Toy

A precious thing we treat so well for it to last beyond the norm

 

He wouldn't dream to speak to me this way this really can't be him right now

 

Is this someone just pretending to be him

the greatest love I've ever known  

 

But then I heard a voice inside attempt discernment how would I even know 

 

The way he speaks when angst would lead us to unplanned disagreement

 

We've never had to face a trace of anything like this before

 

And here we are in our first fight so far how could this even be an option for us

 

I've never known this side of him and now here we are both showing cards 

 

Impassed by wants unspoken until now without further hesitation 

 

While the chord that holds this thing is threatening unravelment to a string

 

How can we stop before it breaks and its too late to see just what we've done

 

The time has come to prove again just what has value here

 

We can both hold on to what we found this time or choose to walk away

 

As for me I cannot see where leaving will ever lead us to a better place 

 

Here's where I prove what is still unmoved the love I have for him

 

The only thing that matters more than the angst inside my head

 

To find a way to back away from habits played which do not serve us now

 

To trust him now pride swallowed hard somehow until we find our way again

 

If that's what it takes that's just what I'll do to show how much I value this 

 

The thing I know is the way he's shown that he feels the same way as I do 

 

Whatever it takes well find a way so that we both can win this time 

 

And now here we are way beyond somehow those habits left behind

 

A growing thing we know can bring us both down to our knees 

 

How we came this far well never know how we got to such a place

 

And it's OK now well keep finding ways somehow to move beyond what doesn't seem to work

 

I'm just so grateful how we're able to play with now the greatest toy life ever made
