We Are a Tribe

It seems to me
Too good to be true
The you to me
And me to you

The world is shifting
But not us two
We’ve had a spat
A time or two 
But here we are
As good as new

We go way back
Like all the way
I was a pest
You wouldn’t play

But even then we knew
We were a team
We weren’t alone
By any means

The older we grew
The closer we became
By this time, we knew
We were one in the same

And though there were times
Over the years
Our paths weren’t aligned 
We looked to our peers

We made it back
To me and you
Got back on track 
As we were meant to do

We balance each other
The perfect duet
We laugh at past lovers
And more good times, yet

You are the one
Who already knows
Any story worth telling
You starred in the show

A party of two
Our VIP club
Times we’ve lived through
Things we both love

This feels so cliche
But you get my jokes
It’s cheesy to say
The milk to my oats

I guess, what I mean
Is something inside
It cannot be seen
Trust me, I’ve tried

It has to be felt
I can’t even describe
You are my person
We are a tribe
