Analysis of And You, To Me



I believe the last person I shall ever see,
  is you
    —and you, me

I believe the last person I will ever know,
  is you
   —and you, me

I believe the last person I shall ever love,
  is you
   —and you, me

I believe the last place I will ever go,
  is to you
   —and you, to me
