There is a wall between you and I
High enough to shield you, but low enough.
I know you are there
Its thin enough to hear you breathe
But not enough to part your world and mine
Every now and then, we reach over
Our fingers lock and our palms trace
Our lost history that is never spoken
You with her, me with him
Us with each other
There is a wall between you and I
It must remain
To lend sanity to the unrequited souls
That cling to ours unaware
For buried deep in our hearts
Secrets burn, that keep us alive
And our memories embrace.
Mine with yours, yours with mine
