You & I - Susie Suh

I spoke to you again today

In a grove of redwood trees

You told me I am beautiful

You spoke your truth to me

Inside every winter

Is a summer waiting to be free

And I am so very tired

Tired of being me

It’s just that I’ve been

Waiting for so long

It’s just that time keeps

Moving on and on

But every time I close my eyes

I think of you and feel alright

Telling me that everything

Will be just fine

You and I were meant to be

You and I were meant to see

That you and I were all we need

To have, to hold for eternity

I lay inside the nook

Of the tallest tree trunk

Felt it’s branches wrap around me

And shower me with leaves of gold

I dreamt of strange places

And time stood still

And as we spoke I remembered

When I was a little girl

You said

Surrender and let go

You said

That I will never be alone

But every time I close my eyes

I think of you and feel alright

Telling me that everything

Will be just fine

You and I were meant to be

You and I were meant to see

That you and I were all we need

To have, to hold for eternity

As our conversation ended

And dusk began to fall

I thanked you and prepared

To go back into the world

The wind kissed the us

Humming the melody

And when I think of you

I sing quietly

You and I were meant to be

You and I were meant to see

That you and I were all we need

To have, to hold for eternity

You and I were meant to be

You and I were meant to see

That you and I were all we need

To have, to hold for eternity
