I got home today, after spending the morning at a funeral, to find this in my inbox.

It made me smile.

Girl. I said. Come take my hand
And side by side in here we'll stand.
We've had our back against the wall
Together we can stop the fall.
You're fire and ice. First hot then cold.
You stand your ground but then you fold.
I give you a purpose. I give you a name.
And neither of us will be the same.
You've opened to me; I've seen your soul.
You trod a dark path and yet stayed whole.
As Alex once said the ride will be warm
As Lizard King I ride the storm.
