God Gave Me You

We both jumped off a cliff, 
I fell 
You flew 

We both went for a dip,
You swam
I sank to darker hues

Each night my dreams play 
On replay
These similar troublesome tales
Yet the day brings the light
Which reflects the words I only dare believe 
From your eyes
And the rhythm of your heart 
Beats several strides slower
Just so mine can catch up,
Even though you've always been faster than me

What I mean is, 
I'm the kind of gal whose EQ 
Can't tell the difference between 
"I appreciate you" and "you're a loser"
And my whole being can't understand why you never
Give up 
On me
And after all I've been through
I'm also that one who's too afraid to 
Pray for a miracle
Even though 
God gave me you

I might be working the 
Rest of my life 
To see what's right in front of me
But even I'm not dumb enough to know it's worth it
