You & I

 By Otterlady (08/16/1999)

 

 

We walk this narrow road

You & I

Between what is right and what is wrong

I love you with all my heart

But sometimes wonder if that is enough

To protect us from the forces that

Strife to drive us apart

 

We share a history that few understand

You & I

Of pain and fear

Of love and loneliness

Tenuous at best

When evil knocks at the door

Looking to take us away

 

We struggle not to cross the line

You & I

Between life and death

With love the only thing to hold onto

And there are times when even that

Is almost not enough

To save us from the other side

 

We face each day

You & I

With fear and hope

Fear that it may be the last

Hope that we will survive

Holding on tight to each other

When sorrow is all we see

 

We have each other

You & I

To fend off the world that

Fears what love can accomplish

When two such as we

Stand together

 

You & I

Me & Thee

The two of us

Friends

Partners

Almost one

A Force to be reckoned with

With love on our side

Perhaps we'll survive
