The Two of Us

THE TWO OF US

I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We used to talk, now I can’t speak no more
I’m told I speak way to loud
Nothing I have to say ever comes out right

I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We used to have fun
Now we can’t stand to be around one another
All we ever seem to do is fight

I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We used to laugh 
Now I’ll I want to do is cry
You no longer hold me in your arms at night

I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We spoke of the future quite often
Now it just seems bleak and blind
We no longer have the sunshine that is so bright

I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We don’t seem to see eye to eye
It feels like we move only mechanically
Doesn’t look like there any hope in sight

I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
Nothing seems the same at all
Have we gotten to old to love one another
Has our marriage lost it’s delight?

Written after a big fight with my husband, was feeling blue
