My woman and me

I've been thinking lately
About my woman and me.
We're going well
the house is strong,
though we're a new family.
I feel like we're the centre
that we're unique and special,
the universe conspired
to make it all possible.

It's easy to forget
that the world doesn't care.
It's easy to forget
that we weren't always here.
There've been many who thought
they were divinely ordained -
the dusty bones and tattered scraps
are all that remain;
And despite my attempts at rationality
I can't escape the feeling that
some invisible deity
has a special place and a plan for me
I need to grow up!
Can't I see that there's no guarantee?

I've been thinking lately
about my woman and me.
The unremarkable outcome
that we're ignored by history.
It's not the drop of water
that makes the wave,
and it can't be recognition
that we try to attain.
