Lucky Me (Work in Progress)

Lucky Me

Lucky me to have found
That one true guy that makes me sound
Better than them gushy girls you wanna choke
They complain bout life, bout men, bein broke

Cuz I found that guy whose my friend
The only one who'll hug me then
Scold me for not being strong
Remind me to keep going on
With my life, with my love,
With my works, with the stage.
I'll hear his tender voice
say strong words to engage
Me in thoughts and in my words
In what i have done
And in what I am going to do
I don't need a pedestal to know that I'm good
I have someone like him
A true friend who understood
What it's like to live long days
To stand alone while they all gaze
Waiting for that next action to come
To see if I'll fail, succeed or succumb
And let the pressure of life unfurl
Or become like my turtle and bear the weight of his world.

And yet he's my opposite, my compliment
He is the night; I am the day
The only one to call me sunshine, yet
Keep me in darkness away
From all that he holds deep.
He's the code to my design
And the strength that I lack
The reason to my nonsense
The glue when I crack
I'm the editor to his letters
I'm gentle when he's tough
I talk when he's quiet
And smile when time's rough.

How lucky am I to have a man like him
How many times has he saved me from my grim
Darkness and put me back in the light
Gave me time to breathe, get back up and fight
If he could just put his guard down long enough to know
To finally let me in so I can show this time
That I'm the Bonnie to his Clyde
We're beyond best friends, we're the truest partners in crime.

I am the one in a million
He's the million to one.
