BETWEEN US

Author: Maranda Loni Green

I’m starting to see it,
No matter what you say or do,
Sooner or later we are going to split,
By the things that they say to you.

You hardly ever pick up the phone and call,
It’s like you have your own thing now.
I’m wondering, do you even think of me at all?
It’s like you’re fading and I’m wondering how.

You don’t know what I feel inside,
As hard as it is for you, it’s hard for me,
It’s our love that they want denied.
Is it not so plain for you to see?

One day soon you will be the one walking,
And I’ll be the one to cry,
Thinking about how you were always talking,
About how you’d never say good-bye...

How you would place before me no other,
That you’d make me your beautiful queen,
That I’d be your friend, girl, and lover,
That you’d always love Maranda Loni Green.

But somehow that seemed to change,
It’s like you’re deciding to leave,
Though I know it sounds strange,
These are thoughts that I’m starting to believe.

I don’t think that I would be strong,
If you were to ever leave my side,
This is not right, it’s so wrong,
All they want to do is kill our pride.

I know that with life there comes a cost,
But I promise to be for you, the best girl,
If they ever took you away, I’d be lost,
I need you here with me in this world.

Don’t let them win and get in between us,
They sit there watching each move we make,
No more will we start to fuss,
We’ll prove to them that this love isn’t fake.

I am yours, and you are mine,
This is something that they’ll speak of,
A mystery that is going to be so divine,
What we share is going beyond the word LOVE.
