It takes a while to turn around
Patience is so rarely found in instant times
So I'm glad to find someone to share their life authentically
And put up with me and humour me, some of the time
We see some things differently, either culturally or spiritually
But rarely fight like others might
Because you almost died and I was forced to think
Do I want a life without you in it?
And I faced the truth
Looking back on it now
I'm kind of proud that we survived the way we did
You lost fingers and toes, I lost my hair, but kept a sense of humour
If I had to try and summarise
Conclude on things that sound wise and meaningful, I would struggle
It's just an experience, you had to be there
Something that can't be shared or explained in full, phenomenal
The thing about a tragic past
Is it liberates the future parts that seem unsure or worrisome
A sense of perspective, that word - experience
You had to be there, it can't be shared, phenomenal
