You And I

The wind blows to the west

But I ignore it at first

It holds me in its grip

Telling me what it means

To be followed, to be held tight

to be shallow, to put up a fight

It tells me to be you

The wind is thinking of you

Wondering how that happened

We thought the elements were suspect

Until we lost respect

And now it catches me again

This wind I have been running from

Breathing out, keeping out, living out

Now I know its useless

And I am powerless

To keep out this storm

So I witness this passively

And I wonder why this is

But now I know

This wind is you

With your spirit that makes two

So I go ahead with this

Careless, helpless, shameless

To be followed, to be held tight

to be shallow, to put up a fight

And then I become you
