Love and a Step Forward

Take a Step Forward  

Quarrel of lover's fears, tears, and laughter;
I place my hands up to my ears and roll 
my eyes, I wonder, what are you after.
When we wed, we were one body one soul.

Why, does it always have to be your way?
Why can't we believe life will change for us?
I sigh, take a deep breath, and sneak away
until the air clears and there's no more fuss.

Taking a step forward, forget the dark
of the past, laying it all on a pyre 
put it all a fire an ending to mark 
a new beginning a love of desire. 

How we have trembled with fears, tears, and strife
both our lives, a bond rich meaningful life
