Some stones, 
Minerals, flowers, 
Or sunsets come close
But I’m certain I’d be fine
Without them
As long as I had us.

And if I didn’t have us, 
God, Allah, Yahweh forbid, 
I’d see amethyst rings
And the biggest sunflowers
And not bat an eyelash
Before I thought of us. 

Diamonds aren’t worth cutting
Unless they’re put to gold
And around your finger, 
But both are almost passé 
As long as I had us.
