Entre Nous
We are secrets to each otherEach one's life a novelNo-one else has read.Even joined in bonds of love,We're linked to one anotherBy such slender threads.
We are planets to each other,Drifting in our orbitsTo a brief eclipse.Each of us a world apart,Alone and yet together,Like two passing ships.
ChorusJust between us,I think it's time for us to recognizeThe differences we sometimes fear to show.Just between us,I think it's time for us to realizeThe spaces in betweenLeave room for you and I to grow.
We are strangers to each other,Full of sliding panels,An illusion show.Acting well-rehearsed routinesOr playing from the heart?It's hard for one to know.
We are islands to each other,Building hopeful bridgesOn a troubled sea.Some are burned or swept away,Some we would not choose,But we're not always free.
