The Good Wife

Verse 1
Unison - elusive and fleeting
Like a butterfly landing in your hands
You wouldn't want to hurt it
You'd only want to see it fly
To become one with the elements of nature
You've always been the one to cherish and adore
Never desirous of being placed on a pedestal
In sync with my aspirations and designs
I know that the choices I make are right

Instead of being exposed, you wanted to be significant
Retaining who you are with only slight modifications
Having a sense of purpose that transforms into deep pride
While accompanying me on my journeys

Verse 2
Expansion - necessary and challenging
To grow like a plant in any condition
Adopting new beliefs while maximizing your core strengths
Revealing only what you want others to see
With a heart full of formidable intent
You aren't distracted by foolish games and wasteful passion
You're sensible enough to make the right moves

Verse 3
Taking care of you while looking out for our best interests
Plans get twisted and have to be re-arranged
With each detour, our attachment becomes bolder
Out of me, into you - new energy
A reflection of complex abilities
Without explanations, without apologies
You're right behind following my lead

Chorus
Graceful and highly determined
Uncompromising as a singular unit
Our creations are a result of you being the good wife
