The Woman I Want To Be

The woman i am now
Is only half the woman 
I want to be 
The man I am with
Is more than half the man
That I need
I was never really 
Good at math
But when I put one and one together
It equals two people
That fit each others equation
Living everyday as if it was my last
I strive on
I push on 
Day after day
Finding myself
The bits and pieces that make me, me
Building that other half 
Of that woman I want to be
