You and I

Have you ever wondered why – you and I

could never walk bare-feet on that beach?

Or ever hold hands in that green park bench

or just hug round the bend of that street?

Have you ever wondered why – you and I

could never make our lives sail together on that raft?

Your thoughts, my words, our rain,

and that tired seventeenth draft.

Have you ever wondered why – you and I

could never make that lingering dream come true?

Your smell, my skin, our moment once,

I haven't danced since – have you?

Have you ever wondered why – you and I

when together, never quite managed to sleep?

Your hands, my cup, our tea,

and watching that blue tent above, seep.

Have you ever wondered why – you and I

could never become what we always should've been?

I'd be left wondering till an eternity after

And then one day, you'll dream me a new dream.
