And You Asked Me Why
by Justine

You asked me why you,
Why I love you,
And I stammered.

I told you what I knew,
How I feel with you,
And I stumbled.

But I know, now, dear,
What to say here,
What I forgot.

Thousands of miles between,
One path is ours,
To question.

Thousands of miles between,
One path between,
Our dreams.

You asked me why you,
Why I love you,
Now I say.

I am lost, alone a child,
One in mind alone,
With you.

I am lost in the miles between,
Between the beating,
Of our hearts.

When I could not find a star,
You showed me the moon,
Together we flew.

We laughed on carnival grounds,
And shared ice cream,
And nights so long.

Two hearts in one illusion,
Beating one tune,
In two heads.

You hold a mirror to me,
To the madness,
And all as is.

And all as is, is ours,
To see as we wish,
And we wish.

And we wish for more,
We wish for less,
And for ourselves.

Our wishes are mine alone,
And yours alone,
And one in us.

You know my heart,
I know all you,
All you hide.

You hide your tears,
Yet I hear you cry,
That I do.

I know the hero that beats,
In your heart,
My beast.

You play the rhythm,
And I dance,
And you asked!

You asked me why you,
Why I love you,
I ask you.
