We keep getting hurt,
You and I ,
I and We,
We and You,
You and me,
Constant fighting,
These sparks aren't igniting,
Those logs aren't burning,
Neither of the flames yearning.
So read this note,
From Me to You,
Whose hand is holding the lighter underwater?
Hold this note,
And don't respond or quote,
Unless you plan to write,
Words that might,
Bring
*You to Me.
