She was full of fire,
He could douse the flames
They both abound, all over town,
Still playing their silly games
They met as people do
She smiled while he said hello you
They danced the night, while holding tight
To one plus one makes two
They met again that week,
Still tap tapping their feet
One look of the eyes and with no surprise
They both said I do
With the ring came harder choices
They’ve only known their own voices
But one plus one doesn’t mean a ton
With no cause to rejoice
So they made a solemn vow
To always live for the now
Against all odds, they both took jobs
And neither disavowed
They live their simple joy
That fire girl and water boy
Working through the day
So each night they can tap tap away
