BORN TO BE WITH YOU

I was born to be with you.
30 some odd years ago, I was born.
A small mass with an intelligent brain.
I began looking around and taking in my surroundings
Two months later, in another part of the world,
God made you for us to be each other's halves.
We grew up as intellectual anemones
touching others, sometimes pleasantly
sometimes stinging them
living separately
Until finally we found each other.
But God made snakes inside each of us.
And when we got close,
the snakes came out of our stomachs
and started fighting.
With the small wounds and blood
we cried without letting go.
We need to take our snakes out and get rid of them.
I am too stubborn to let my snake win.
I hope that you are stubborn enough and strong enough to take out yours.
Despite being scared, I bet on the side that I want to win.

Not perfect in diction and flow, but conveys the intended story well, with good enough diction, I felt.
