She Gets Me

She has a mind that I adore.
She gets me like no one before.
She knows my game. She knows the score.

She knows I'm not a perfect guy.
We don't always see eye to eye.
But we're both human, and that's why
our love will last forevermore.

We've been together forty years,
through times of laughter, times of tears.
We know each other's doubts and fears.
But we've still plenty to explore.

We think alike, a single mind.
Our hopes and fears are intertwined.
That might sound sappy, but we find
Our lives have never been a bore.
