The Two of Us

  where are you, how are you
it can be hard
I know, you know.

 

I stop at a red light at the crossroad
you are the one I am looking for amongest everyone
by foot, in a cab or in a bus
two eyes looking at you and then going away
into brisk winds, lost in traffic
cars honking madly in laughable chaos.

 

where are you, how are you
I'll change, if you change
the two of us, we are alike
two wrestlers, two veterans

Two love songs as you and I
with the same words in a cafe.

 

I just want to say now that you are leaving
if that is love, you'll see love
you'll be living because of love.

 

What are you doing tonight
I phone, you're not home, says leave a message
but the recorder is so much faster than I
thus I never know what to say.

 

where are you, how are you
you're not there, where are you going
I am here, like you are
with this scare to love.

 

two minutes, two hours, forever
duelists in the sea of this town
where everyone needs love
exactly as we do........

 

where are you, how are you
two even if, you're not there
you and I, always or never
we are like we are
we exist as two.

You always write with such emotion and truthfulness to your words. I liked the way you added the pictures to paint the scenes a little clearer. This was a wonderful piece and the story is something i am sure most have experienced at some point in life.


Wel Done!!!!!!

Again, you make me like your words. I like the repeted line...there is an insistance about it. It also could be a lyric. But it is the motion of the mood that I like best, the fact you are driving symblises the emotional traffic...also turning the town into a sea does the same for me. And involving everyone in the emotion wave machine that is life broadens the poem.

So full of emotion. Very well written. Beautifully penned. Great job.

There's a lot of emotion in this poem. It was good. I think a lot of people can relate to this.

"I'll change, if you change"
Definitely been there...

There's a lot of heart in this,
I can tell.

So close...but yet so far....wanting, needing, missing! Such a heartfelt read. I loved the whole flow ands feel of it.

A poem which reads so smooth. Two loves going down their separate path, maybe the two paths shall meet again someday.
