You're my rock

You and me,
we're so wise.
Only, you're much wiser
than me.
I know that you are,
and I don't mind at all.
I think it's great.
You're my rock.

You know me...
how my emotions 
run up and down.
Side to side,
and in between.

But you're so strong...
My battles with myself
don't turn you off.
They draw you closer...
You're my rock.

How can I thank you
for being who you are?
Would you be as magnificent
without me?

I know that
I'm just a little part
of the world that you created...
including me.

Sometimes
I shudder to consider
that maybe
you are
who you are
because of me...

Imagination
is more powerful than fact...
Reality is
what you believe.

When you cry in my dreams
I wake up
and save you from the pain.
When I cry in your dreams
you do the same.

When the splendor of your love
makes me look at you in wonder...
You smile at me and say
you're simply returning the favor.

Sometimes
I shudder to consider
that maybe
you are
who you are
because of me.

Imagination
is more powerful than fact...
Reality is
what you believe.

You and me,
we're so wise...
Only, you're much wiser
than me.
I know that you are
and I don't mind at all
I think it's great...
you're my rock.
