Why Can'T We Be (Sequel To "innocent Friendship")

You inspire me I motivate you Then ask yourself Why can’t we be? When the winters are cold And the summers are hot Together we give each other comfort Eliminating all odds When your dreams are crushed And you need to be consoled Here I will come With open arms Today it may pour Tomorrow it may flood But here I have built a ship Together we will float atop the rush The darkness will come And the light will cease But having me by your side You have no need to grieve Even if we cannot eat And we have no place to live I will provide you with a home Even if in reality it does not exist If you must go to war And I am left a widow Not a soul will know That I suffer If sickness manifest And your body is no longer strong Not a pleasure will I need That isn’t your own But I sit here and I wonder If this message you will receive Being that for many days I have kept quiet what I feel If you can hear me Then talk to me If you can feel me Then touch me If you know me Then, greet me If you love me Then, alas why can’t we be?
