Why It Wasn't You and I...

We trod the same path. Yes.

But much later did I realise that it was different directions we had been walking along 

It was destiny.

To Approach.

To meet.

To collide.

To walk away.

And not stay.

Destiny, we couldn't deny.

I flipped through the pages to find one that ultimately brought us together

Too naive to realise our tales were inked apart.

So many things gone wrong

So many conflicts in our hearts

Yet intellects clashing too often

Led me to think

Was it really meant to be?

Finding answers in those questions 

I choose to walk away 

To clear the mess 

And suppress the tempest.

Perhaps, wisely enough to discover some day 

This was the safest we could play 

When this path that we walk brings us to stand facing each other once again

And we look into each others' eyes

To find those faces 

That make us realise 

Why we had to bear goodbyes 

Why it wasn't me and you 

And, why it wasn't you and I.
