You and I

You and I were meant to be
Friends forever our hearts between
Is not the ground where a flower dies destined to flourish again?
What is between you and I cannot perish
Neither you nor I know of what is to come
So from there we will write our story
If pain and anguish await us in the future
The flame that takes away this friendship is to blame
I am none too high to go so low
If I fall from the sky, will you catch me?
When my heart breaks so, will you be the one to comfort me?
I have nothing but you and even that I have not
I wish for you to stay with me.
Everything that I want I cannot have and it is no one’s fault but my own.
You’re gone now and everything has disappeared
If I go too, will you be there?
You and I were meant to be
Friends forever our hearts between
