I already had a pair of wings
and I used them often just to fly;
but when I met you in mid-flight
my better wings began to grow.
My better wings allowed me to soar
to this new man I have come to adore;
then every disappointment of the past
faded away beneath your bright sun.
How amazing just to be in the glint of your light
and feel the warmth from your loving glance;
yet every day since better wings have grown
I have let my heart fly a little closer to yours.
Draw me close, ever closer to you
so I might let my better wings know
that near or far you are my better half
and better wings will never leave me.
