In a relationship
Many things should become
Easier with someone there
But we’ve come to
An uphill slope
That is steeper than it seems
And maybe never ending
But I try to keep going
One foot in front of the other
And climbing over debris
Sometimes you’re with me
And other times I am alone
I guess I will wait and see
If you have stuck with me
Until the summit or if
You have given up back down the road

That is the true test, isn’t it! That they will stick with us through the difficult part of the journey.
