We are secrets to each other Each one’s life a novel No-one else has read Even joined in bonds of love We’re linked to one another By such slender threads
We are planets to each other Drifting in our orbits To a brief eclipse Each of us a world apart Alone and yet together Like two passing ships
Just between us I think it’s time for us to recognize The differences we sometimes fear to show Just between us I think it’s time for us to realize The spaces in between Leave room for you and I to grow
We are strangers to each other Full of sliding panels An illusion show Acting well-rehearsed routines Or playing from the heart? It’s hard for one to know
We are islands to each other Building hopeful bridges On a troubled sea Some are burned or swept away Some we would not choose But we’re not always free
