BELONGING

In the roughness of your busy days,
under arrows of misunderstanding,
when more tired your mind looks for a lay,
remember
I never left you.

When you lose yourself in baby smiles
and a sudden lonely thought of mine
keeps you from the touch of well-known limbs,
remember
you never left me.

We are like two shadows in the sky
interlacing our dreams of haze,
there's a bridge everywhere and everyday, 
remember,
between you and me.
