I am the northern wind
and you the southern breeze

I am the shriveling desert
You are my oasis

I am the failing flower
You are my sunshine

I am the coward
You are my rock

I am the cliche poem
You are a rough kiss on the lips

I am wanting something I can’t have
Something you won’t give me

I am the northern wind
I am way up
here

You are way down





there

The life in my lungs
The air I breathe
I am here
You are there
Yet you and I

We are everywhere
