Between you and I


I like the way you tried
To keep love off my mind
With hands behind your back
No explanation of attack
You filled me with desire
I love the way you chose
To act like no one knows
With a smile around your lips
And your hands around my hips
You replenished the fire

Yet I hope that you will see
More than what you think of me
Because there’s a fine line
Between you and I
So, hold your breath and hide
I won’t try to call tonight
Because like you had feared
Just like you I won’t be here

But I like the way you gave
To expect I would behave
With a glance distant and cold
Like the name that you uphold
I warmed your hands with mine
And I love the way you dared
To feed the undeclared
With a small glimmer of hope
Take the pieces that I broke
And mend them with your eyes

Yet I hope that you will see
More than what you think of me
Because there’s a fine line
Between you and I
So, hold your breath and hide
I won’t try to call tonight
Because like you had feared
Just like you I won’t be here

I won’t let my heart be an empty box
Where echoes of our dreams reside
That got lost
I won’t leave my happiness in your hands
As I wait in vain for you
To understand

Because I hate the way you tried
To keep love off my mind
I despise the way you chose
To act like no one knows
And let us live a lie
Because I hate the way you gave
To expect I would behave
I despise the way you dared
To feed the undeclared
Yet keep it all inside

So, hold your breath and hide
I won’t try to call tonight
Oh, don’t you know you should know
There’s a fine line between you and I
Even after all this time
