Beauty, Before Me

"Stay with me through the darkness 
  until we find another sunny day."

Dodge through the rain drops falling fast
jump puddles not worrying about getting wet
take my hand and my heart, come hold me close
embrace my imperfections and this life we have chose

Slip-slide down this path of resistance with me
being my rock  when tiny pebbles roll free
help find my sun hiding when all seems lost
don't let me go under without one last gasp

Of the beauty, before me, that surrounds
cherished in precious seas of love found
golden flowers sway gentle in the breeze
carrying off splendor for us to forever see

They don't make men like you anymore Tim. In my locality it's my reality that romance is dead.
