Entre Nous

We are secrets to each other

Each ones 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 to passing ships

Just between us

I think its 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

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 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

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 to grow
