you and i, never us.

i once knew a boy who filed my heart with joy, he made me laugh, he made me cry, and he'd always say "you and i", never us, it didn't matter much, he still had my heart clutched, in his palms, not wanting to let go, i wish he did though, i wish he'd just let go, and not gone away, leaving me to wonder why he didn't stay, why he never asked me to run away, to be with him, alone in the world, but i knew we never could, because i still remember, it was always "you and i" never "us".
