Analysis of Of You And Me



There was a time when I was worth knowing
  before the pain took over

There was a time with joy overflowing
  my wishes steeped in clover

There was a time you knew unfurled
  my love abounding free

There was a time when all the world
  —was made of you and me

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)
