Branches

Cold breeze, dead leaves
Falling from exhausted trees
With no one else but you and me to see

We walked, while you talked
Everything you've ever said
Reflecting in my hollow head at once

From seed, sunk
We grew up like a tree trunk
But your branch and mine
They split and climbed apart
But we still share a single heart
If you peel away the bark

The dim haze, of old days
In sepia, the times return
The love we shared, the lessons learned and lost

But slowly
We drifted in our own ways
I couldn't say the moment when
I looked and saw your branch had bent apart

From seed, sunk
We grew up like a tree trunk
But your branch and mine
They split and climbed apart
But we still share a single heart
If you peel away the bark

Our roots
Are tangled up in tight loops
Though the winds may go
And try to blow us down

We stand together here as one
The darkest nights, the brightest Sun
No matter what the two of us become

From seed, sunk
We grew up like a tree trunk
But your branch and mine
They split and climbed apart
But we still share a single heart
If you peel away the bark

From seed, sunk
We grew up like a tree trunk
But your branch and mine
They split and climbed apart
But we still share a single heart
If you peel away the bark
