Mated

Everyone asks
 Are we some kind of lovers?
 Everyone asks what you're doing with me
 I know this is not what they want
 They're afraid you've been blinded
 But I already know how it's going to be
 If anyone should ask
 Say we're mated
 For as long as this life lasts
 We are mated
 Why else would you be here right now
 And you know we'll still be here tomorrow
 Nobody else understands what I'm doing
 Nobody else makes me act in this way
 And because they can't comprehend
 What we mean to each other
 They won't leave you alone
 So you know what to say
 I hold you in my heart
 'cause we're mated
 In a very special part
 We are mated
 Why else would I be here right now
 And you know I'll still be here tomorrow
 I see things far ahead, maybe light
 Maybe beautiful children
 I don't have words I'm thinking of
 But it's way beyond what they call love
