you and i
are looking out a different window
looking at a different sky

but we can see
the same clouds moving indistinctly
forming pictures to our eyes

It's hard to believe
that though we look out different windows
we see the same sky you and I

As we dance
to the beat of different drummers
the same stars sparkle in our eyes

and alone
we walk along through the same summers
keeping our lonliness disguised

maybe soon
we'll see the window doesnt matter
and love's face has no need to hide

but until then
you'll see me at your window waiting
will I see you outside mine?

expressions tell
the deepest and darkest of secrets
with emotions we can't hide

but I can't read
the looks you do and do not give me
i wonder if you can read mine

in the end
we've wasted one year wishing, waiting
and still we're barely only friends

"maybe soon

sounds to me, like both might be afraid to reveal their true feelings for fear of ruining the relationship they now have?

this was a throught provoker
