Loving Stephen’s as easy as breathing
It’s pure faith, none of this needing 
And I couldn’t tell who he was pleasing
When he agreed to the weight he was easing
And I was stuck in a calamitous affair
There seemed no respite from the state of compare 
Locked as I was in despair
Til I opened my eyes to him being there 
And it’s fine to blame others or blame myself
But I think in the darkness I found a wealth
In all that makes up emotional health
The days I walked halls with the power of stealth 
And it’s unconcerning
Though the fire’s burning
And the sphere just turning
With all I’ve been learning 
In the moment to stay quiet rather than speak
I don’t want anyone to think I am weak
But I must say the days were bleak
And long and even as paneled teak 
Til he came in slowly like I didn’t know
Left me with a place to go
As gentle as he was sincere
You know, my man, I hold you dear
And if you e’er see a reflect
In all that is circumspect
Know that you opened gates for me
So that my soul could be set free
So that the diamond in me was ringing
So beautiful, like angels singing
And you were brave and you were true
When you opened the field up, didn’t you
To let me in or leave you out
What are the words that come from my mouth
When I try to describe
What it means to feel alive 
In your gaze, your perfect eyes
That double take my disguise
So that the ends might be even
You’re one of a kind, my pain relieving
