I am always hurt when we are together,

But you make me so happy.

We were young, and our racing resulted in battered skin,

I cried as you helped carry me to comfort.

You selected the brightest flowers and led them to my side.

You knew my smile would mature,

And you cherished that image every time.

I always hurt when we are together,

But you make me so happy.

My heart always had a desire to be just like you,

So brave and passionate.

You taught me how, leaving me with battered skin.

I cried, but with patience

You brought me back to my feet.

I always hurt when we are together,

But you make me so happy.

Our differences melted away, becoming one in the same.

Together, the ambition of our entangled souls danced in the night,

Laughing, conversing, understanding.

We lay next to each other, intoxicated with joy.

Suddenly, you were the reason my skin was left battered.

I always hurt when we are together,

But…

I no longer made you happy.
