Entre Nous

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

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 I to grow
