Keep It Together

It’s so much better

When we’re holding hands

Our smiles are wider

Our hearts on exotic lands

Two hearts entwined

In sync like multi-rhymed

Verse can multiply

Into revelations of another life

You give me fever

Deep down inside

Make me a believer

When you walk beside

Me fingers locked

Palms rubbing it off

Personalities are suspended

Compromise is conceded

Nobody gives a flying cake

Worries are light years away

It’s so much better

When we keep it together
