There is the you and here is the me
Clothed in layers accrued through being Our visions blurred by veils unseen Seeing you through such clouded eyes You mirror me so well in woe and glee
When we wore the garb of actors here We didn't notice our true selves disappear Identifying deeply with the roles we play Posturing helplessly in pleasure and pain
Conspiring through lines of the act Falling in and out of love at the drop of a hat Helplessly and inexorably carried upon Shifting colors and changing forms
There is the you and here is the me
For a moment we put our masks aside No roles to play, eyes open wide In unashamed nakedness we rest a bit With relief, from this endless skit
Peering through clear eyes, it seems That I am you and you are me For under these guises, you see We have been in love for an eternity
There is the me and here is the me
These roles we play oh so well Serve only to bring us to this place Where it is safe to step behind the veil So we may forever rest in divine grace
Until that time, my ally and guide We'll fall in love one day and out the next Even as we learn to set our garbs aside And return to where we never left
