We each have control of our own little boat,
We take on the waves, and we each stay afloat.
We paddle around, heading here, going there...
We bob on the water as a floating pair.
Holding each other's boat, we ponder life,
Waves strike us- reality cuts in like a knife.
Our two boats together- I look in your eyes.
Our lives are like this moment, I realize.
Together here, we've less chance to go under,
But we'll go nowhere holding onto each other.
We have to be free to paddle and propel,
To move forward; to feel like we're getting somewhere.
So true companions on life's water we are,
But if we are too attached, we won't go far.
We'll be there for each other as loving friends,
Enjoying one another as much as life lends.
