&quot;Giving up is not a part of my vocabulary.&quot;<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.&quot;<br /> &quot;Truth be told I miss ya, truth be told I&#039;m lying.&quot;

I feel you around me, gradually digging yourself under my skin.
I sense your presence all around, even when I can't physically see you.
Your essence is heavy, almost too dark to be detected.

I wish I could see your aura, show it to everyone I know,
Draw it on the skylights, on all the walls of our foundation.
Your honey-like voice softly murmurs a whisper in my ear:
"Everything's going to be all right. Just leave it all to me.I'll take care
of everything."
Your words make my skin tingle, my lips quiver.
Because you and I both know,
We have to work together, be united as one once again.
Otherwise,
nothing cannot, and never
will be alright.

This is about two people who show everyone that they don't exactly like each other, but actually do alot & know they have to work together in order to make things right.
They're both just too stubborn:) Plz rate/comment.
