You and I

Yesterday
You and I
Became intertwined
Hoping for more
Than what we could see
Beneath the glow
From our eyes
Came the yearning
To become
What should be
Two as one
And now

You and I
Are about to be gone
Torn from the shambles
Of what was
What could be
And hopes
For a better tomorrow
The light
Can shine again
If we’d let
It cross over
Into what we
Feel should be
Wishful thinking
I know
For what you want
And what you’ll do
Are as far as the distance
Between where my heart lives
And where your feet stand

You and I
We’re like those plastic bags
That get caught up in the wind
Floating on air
Twirling without thought
Aimlessly hoping
That the place we’ll land
Is more comfortable
Than the ground
We were carried away from
Not forgotten
But unable to return
Because the wind
Doesn’t exactly reappear
Like it did
In the same place
Twice
