Those Two

THOSE TWO

You fell in love
with a guy in jeans and boots
who never wore a suit
and played guitar all night long

I fell in love
with a girl of revolution
pushing back the institution
in places it was wrong

Where'd they go,
those two?
I believe they're still inside
me and you.

You fell in love
with a guy, chronically late
who forgot important dates
but who could always make you smile.

I fell in love
with the girl who had a plan
for every second in her hand
and survived every trial.

Where'd they go,
those two?
I believe they're still inside
me and you.

Things we found attracting
Turn frustrating and distracting
Each year, these scenes we're acting
Keep repeating, time again.

And so, the greater mystery
Is how, with all this history
We can yet persist to be
Lovers and friends.

I'm still in love
with that quiet girl who knows me
doesn't say, but simply shows me
all the safety of a home.

Your'e still in love
with that guy who sees the world
as a place to show that girl
filled with lands still yet to roam.

Where'd they go,
those two?
I believe they're still inside
me and you.

Every day, they're still inside
me and you.
