What will be, will be.


Showing vitality in physical, mental, or emotional well-being
Surpassing former standards 
Giving the four letter word new meaning
Effortlessly beneficial 
A place where communication is not an issue
This is how I want you to love me
What will be, will be

An Unhealthy Relationship:
No hopes of loyalty or trust
Ample secrets cloaked with lust
I don't go to you to look for compassion
Rashness and anger are your first course of action
Honestly you can't talk to me with honesty 
A web of lies now surrounds your tongue
Your temperament is waning, your voice its high strung

We can cut off the dead leaves and hope that love will grow
We can take the time to grieve and tend the seeds of our effort we sow 
If you are ready for interface 
We can excel to a better place
To start after a bitter end 
You can begin not as a lover, but as a friend
Because I love you I am willing to try
Let's defy our boundaries to see if we can fly
