What They Say

Everyone around us
Keeps saying the same thing
Something that I have grown
Tired of hearing
Over and over again
No matter how they word it,
Meant it or want it to take place
They keep saying
That we have become too serious
Too foolish in our love
That we need a break from each other
A cool down period
To reconsider what we've started
And where we're going
Our chances of standing strong
Against the world
To stay together forever
That we are setting ourselves up
For disaster or heartbreak
When our love stops shinning
To be honest
I used to believe
What they had to say
Doubts and fears sprouted inside me
But now I believe
There is nothing
That could ever break our bond
Everything we have gone through
Good and bad
Has changed the basis of who we are
As individuals and as a couple
I also believe
That this change has made us stronger
So strong that I am ready
For me and you to stand up
Against the world
Even if all we do is teach them
What dedicated love is supposed to be
Because I believe
That with you by my side
I can do whatever it takes
To overcome the difficult
Heart wrenching conflicts
Because to spend the rest of my life with you
I will do anything and everything it takes
Even if friendship is all we are destined for
When the end comes
And eternity is all we have left
A life as friends is better
Than a life without you at all
