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.

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.
