Inch by precious inch we gain access to
each others most vulnerable parts our hearts
we both know heartache and pain we find it
hard to open up and show love once
again we tread lightly for fear of being crushed
into small stones over and over again
inch by inch minute by minute hour by hour
day by day with caring and sharing we
begin to trust again we take it slow not daring
to open the floodgates and let our love
flow inch by inch we begin to tear down
our fences and slowly letting down our defenses
we watch with wonder and awe as our walls come
crumbling down around us so we can
rebuild anew with our love we build entire cities
made from steel and stone and not straw
we daily thank our lucky stars above for
finding that special soul that fits us like a well
worn glove and lets our well waters overflow
with the purist form of love
