Is it me or you? Either or, we seem to share more than a bitter outlook to things. We’re only happy when it’s bright out, or when we’ve got our feet soaked in the sea.

We’re dreamers, aren’t we? We find peace only when we stare out into the horizon, feeling smaller than usual in this big place. The breeze from car rides does a better job at soothing our soul than watery chicken soup. You and me, we opt for the other things in life to keep a smile plastered.

Daily routine is mundane and tiring. We feel weary of the same old habits. Broken resolutions, screaming matches, plastered hearts. So habitual, it’s become conversation openers to ask each other, is it worth it? Hiding behind optimistic masks, we reply with knowing smiles, of course, at least soon.

Cold nights, aching hearts, we feel most alone when we’re not. It’s funny when you think about it. We laugh in the melancholic silence of the smoky room.

Is it just us? You and me? Me and you?

Hazy days, grey shades, it doesn’t matter. Take comfort in knowing that we can’t be that lonely in this world.

After all, we’ve got each other.
