Warriors

Each time you and I played the game
Our spirits held us high,
Each time you won the game
You sang the victory song,
And each time I won the game
My flag fluttered high;
O’er the horizon our egos fought,
You won o’er me and me o’er you.

We kept playing games
And ne’er did we give up,
Each victory gave us the strength
And so did each loss take us forward.

You had your reasons,
And so did I have mine;
Maybe you were right always,
But I was right too every time.

All the games we won
And all the lives they lost,
If it were just a dream
I wish if it weren’t too late;
I now realize the truth
That love was more than enough,
We could’ve won and sang the victory song
Holding our flags higher, together.
