"You and I" Revision

In the beginning,
We were just children.

We had a castle
And a village with horse-carriages
Cobblestone
Knights and merchants
And a forever-after.

In the beginning,
We laughed.

We were one,
Stone replicas of each other,
Twins,
Salt thrown into sugar.

In the beginning,
We had potential.

We had dreams
Of those days ahead of the path.
A white piano, embroidery, delicate lilies,
Golden circles that were meant to unite.

In the beginning,
We could fight the storm.

We clutched what there was
And doors opened and closed in our wake,
Still there was sympathy hidden
Beneath our skin.

Now,
We long for the days of pretend.

We remember the beginning,
When you and I were
We.

How did it ever become
You and Me?
