It Takes Two

You've changed

You're daring

You're different in the woods

More sure

More sharing

You're getting us through the woods

If you could see

You're not the man who started

And much more open-hearted

Than I knew you to be

It takes two

I thought one was enough

It's not true

It takes two of us

You came through

When the journey was rough

It took you

It took two of us

It takes care

It takes patience, and fear, and despair

To change

Though you swear

To change, who can tell if you do?

It takes two

You've changed

You're thriving

There's something about the woods

Not just

Surviving

You're blossoming in the woods

At home, I'd fear

We'd stay the same forever

And then out here

You're passionate, charming, considerate, clever

It takes one

To begin, but then once you've begun

It takes two of you

It's no fun

But what needs to be done

You can do

When there's two of you

If I dare

It's because I'm becoming aware of us

As a pair of us, each accepting a share

Of what's there

We've changed

We're strangers

I'm meeting you in the woods

Who minds

What dangers?

I know we'll get past the woods

And once we're past

Let's hope the changes last

Beyond woods

Beyond witches and slippers and hoods

Just the two of us

Beyond lies

Safe at home with our beautiful prize

Just the few of us

It takes trust

It takes just a bit more and we're done

We want four, we had none, we've got three

We need one

It takes two
