You and i or we and us?


how do i belong to you
when you do not belong to me
how do we belong to us
when both of us don't belong to"we"

of you and i and we and us
and all the drama and the fuss
when everything settles down
it won't amount to mush or much

so the point that i allude to again
is that since we are no longer us
why don't we take a final ride
upon the good-old-rickety bus

the bus that we got on to once
and have traveled thus far and glee
let us take that route again
as you and i, no longer we

and when arrive those familiar stops
you go yours and i'll go mine
for our hands wont be again
like before, intertwined...

  1. I like the 'and' in the title, however it contrasts itself in the rest of the verse.
    That is what life is about finally, the roads we choose; the persons who join that ride, on the old rickety bus. No matter that they are are there at the end of the journey.
    Sometimes, it IS is the journey that matters. No, make that ALWA?YS. :)
    Even with the hint of poignancy, and much less mush... I find mush to rejoice in, in the emotions here :)
    There was a you and I; and a we and us. :)

  2. Though nothing is absolute black or absolute white but all are shades of Gray.. however this gray is bent towards the black side of spectrum !! Amazing composition *bows down* to these words with tremendous depth ...

  4. Though the words seem to be nonchalant, the poignancy is felt. There you win!
