He saw her walk into the party
and in that moment he was changed
the girl in the dress with no one to impress
was forever burned into his brain
two years later they were married
in back yard of his parents’ house
she looked him in the eyes
and said I’m on your side
and he lost any trace of doubt
When you love with your whole heart
you give them the knife that can gut you apart
and instead pray they'll take it
and carve out a place you feel safe in
so you must ask yourself this
if love is worth the risk
She put the flowers on the nightstand
next to the cards and the balloons
the nurse makes the rounds
as she straightens his gown
they both know it will be soon
you see 40 years they’d been together
She never let herself plan for this
she’d made up her mind
they’d have so much more time
but time is indifferent
Cuz when you say that you love someone
you’re saying you’ll sit by their side
at the movies or at sunset
or when they take their last breath
so you must ask yourself this
if love is worth the risk
love is more than bending a knee with a ring
It’s made up of all the moments you don't see
it’s threading a needle and weaving the string
slowly over time
It’s the slow dance in the kitchen at night
when the kids are in bed
and the dishes are drying
it's eyes that know you
and skin that collides
as your stories intertwine
love is flying in the face of
the sweet devastation
