Please Stretch My Heart
Thank you truly for “stretching my heart”
For it taught me that I’m not so smart,
Though it hurt, now I think I can see
A fresh longing for intimacy.
When before I thought I was in charge
There was love’s failure looming so large
Now we share in the risk and the blame,
Not to mention the joy and acclaim.
Though relationships always take work
To be sharing the load is a perk,
And reduction of unneeded stress
Can contribute to real happiness!
So the songs about love taking two
Aren’t about my control over you
Let’s just share in the love of the game
I suspect we’ll be happy we came!
