When I Think of You and I

When I think of you and I 
I think of surviving
Surviving this battlefield called love
Everlasting love, a partnership, a bond
Blessed from the heaven's above
Destined to be together
We've made it through
tornadoes, hurricanes, and 
extremely hot weather
These storms will continue to come
It is important to stay and fight
Growing from a victim 
to a fierce knight
Not letting anyone
or anything destroy our mite.

When I think of you and I 
I think of RESPECT
RESPECT for yourself
RESPECT for your wife
RESPECT for our child
RESPECT for the
 entire human race 
You know and I know
that no life can be replaced

When I think of you and I
I am thankful for so many traits
I am thankful that you are 
not a cheater, a woman beater, 
a manipulator a playa hater, 
a control freak and a deadbeat
You could be doing wrong
Instead you do what a man 
is supposed to do
This is a prime example 
why I love you
I am not bullshitting boo

This love is real
True love is rare
Though we may 
be busy at times
It may seem like 
we do not care
Always remember that
 we will always be there
