Common goals

If I could be the perfect me.
Would I still be someone you love?
If I fulfilled all of your needs,
and all transformations you think of
do you really think you would be
a happy man living with me?

If I want to progress and improve.
What, may I ask, could you possibly lose?
the ignorance of yesterday
educated along the way
Could only make our lives better,
unloose us from our bonds and fetters.

If both of us have common goals
more compassion, more control
over intemperate passions
live our lives in rational fashion
we could be so much more
than we used to be, before...
