I Can'T Love Someone Else
I can't love someone else, i don't think
you understand.
You are the only you upon this land.
Meeting for the first time is a date, and
more is the plan.
There's no preparation for what's next
at hand.
Only thoughts and dreams of what we
hope to happen.
Love, respect, trust, loyalty and harmony.
Progress building the foundation of what
we seek.
Happy days, peace, companionship and love.
Off the ground, past the clouds, to the
heavens above.
But for success, a challenge must be
introduced.
No plan, no script, just a storm coming
through.
One that tests the will, and intestinal
fortitude.
Rain, thunder, lightning, and winds of
dysfunction.
All the work to build, threatened by
destruction.
It will sway, it will bend, without breaking
the assertion.
The fight, the need, validating the purpose.
We must run the race, no matter the surface.
I can't love someone else, what would be
the purpose.
They will not have your name, or face
to match.
Your eyes, your lips, your nose, in fact.
Your smile, your laugh, your touch, no one
can reenact.
Your voice, your scent, only you was born
with that.
The way you walk, or chew, it's distinct
to only you.
Your aura, and your grace can not be
replaced.
Your DNA separates you from the rest of
the human race.
Whatever the outcome, i will face it
like a man.
I can't love someone else, i don't think
you understand.
