A RIVER RUNS

you are my mate, my long-lost friend 
you are my hope, my resonance 
you are the edge, my hidden blade 
you carry all the plans we made 

you are the path, my hidden trail 
you are the end, my holy grail 
you are my mood, my sudden rage 
you are my wit, my final page

there are no certainties 
we could fall, we could break apart 
you pick me up, you smile 
then the whole world starts

a river runs through you and me 
never reaches the ocean, never reaches the sea

there is no chance we cannot take 
no mistakes we will not make 
each time the whirlpool drags us down 
we come up laughing, spinning round 

we have nothing left to prove 
we have broken every rule 
and all the hurt that we feel 
just makes us stronger when we heal

the river runs so clear, runs so fast it blinds us 
meanders to the sea, turns back and surrounds us 
lifts us up, takes us down, the eddies swirl and bind us 
you and me, you and me

a river runs through you and me 
never reaches the ocean, never reaches the sea
