With him beside me, recklessness intensified
I knew a wildness which colored my spirit purple
A color I know would begin to describe me inside
The way that it feels to know this uninhibitedness
~~~
With him beside me, there was a license for freedom
I knew waves of unrestrained joy and acceptance
Feelings that taught me what it means to be so alive
Filled with the assurance that I need feel no reserve
~~~
With him beside me, control was never truly known
I knew what it meant to be delighted by my insights
Enchanted by the beautiful inspirations that soothed me
Creating a tapestry of vivid emotions flowing within
~~~
With him beside me, unruliness brought enlightenment
I knew feelings of pure passion that thrust me forward
Caressing my dreams with a gentle madness of creativity
Keeping me aware that the insanity could breathe life to free
~~~
With him beside me, liberation from worry soothed my anxieties
I knew the sweet release from lost hopes and desperate worrying
Freedom brought about in me ~ relief that surrounded my heart
Pushing me to keep believing in the joy that had cured me
~~~
With him beside me, I could let go of all the past pain and hurt
I knew what it means to be healed and move on toward tomorrow
Where I could begin to see the light that streams from heaven
Flowing down to earth in colors so intense and mellow they beckon
~~~
With him beside me, intemperance could never touch my dreams
I knew that greed would pass over me without existing in me
Reassuring me that my faith would be enough to complete and create
A river of joyful rapids which fell across my heart to console all losses
~~~
With him beside me, ridding me of the feelings that depressed me
I knew what it means to share my deepest dreams, beliefs and wisdom
Unburdening my soul with friendship which would always console
Bringing about true joy, kindness and a sense of real compassion
