Another Me
Who are you, I'd like to knowFor you leave my soul so hollow
You entered my life, and then
Something changed, can't tell you when
I'm not sure when you arrived
But it didn't take long for you to thrive
To lock my heart, deep inside
Somewhere in there, you reside
Rest assured, my dear, with ease
I've been here, always, to appease
Though I had to intervene
For I wanted you to glean
At first, I let you be
I didn't interfere, you see
I didn't want to cause you pain
Or drive you to disdain
But when you intervened
You made me seem so weaned
Like my heart's turned to stone
And won't be loved, it's known
I know this, my dear, it's true
But it's for your own good, too
For if you don't love, you'll find
You won't suffer in your mind
So what do you want me to do?
Stay alone and silent, too?
How long do you think I'll last?
Living life, steadfast
Don't worry anymore
It's better off, I'm sure
If someone comes along
And you believe they belong
I promise, I'll let you go
To love her too, you know
And if she loves you back
Together, you'll stay on track
So do you give me your word
That you won't cause me hurt?
And that you're not with me
Just for your own decree
You haven't realized
That we're just one in disguise
I am you, and you are me
Created by God's decree
You can trust me, without fail
And you'll see, your life will prevail
I wouldn't cause you pain
For in your body, I remain
So now, let me tell myself
What has been, shouldn't dwell
I'll make peace within my mind
And hope that happiness, I'll find
