Two loves, two lives, two more to protect, two more to put in danger, two more to fail
Two more to bring me to life,
Both different, both loved

It's an odd sort of wish that permeates my brain
When I see those who I keep close as a single unit
In my mind, we work perfectly together,
So I'm always surprised when reality ruins it.

Humans are changeable, real
They experience, they think they feel
Humans are vindictive, bitter, unforgiving
They fester, they scheme

With that in mind, I should have assumed how this would go
You can't bind together three different humans without adversity

Before I could even begin pushing the idea , I had to understand
The complexity of human emotion that ran through each of them.

One was calm and unconcerned and used to making their way.
One was experienced yet young and very cautious with the words they'd say.

The two were like lavender, carried on a  wind, strong, lingering, and playful.
The two were vulnerable, honest, kind and ethical
The two were a mixture of uncertainty and low self-esteem

Two loves, two lives, two more to protect, two more to put in danger, two more to fail
Two more to bring me to life,
Both different, both loved..
