No One Told Us We Are Only Two

No one told us we are only two,

That playing parallel is the best of us,

And we cannot really see each other,

Even through a clear glass window.

No one told us we are only two,

And that we must look through one another,

But we found this mirror 

And I see a delightful reflection of me in you.

No one told us we are only two,

And held unable to share our toys

And space, and passions, and joys

Until sufficient time passes for the clockworks of biology to operate upon us.

No one told us we are only two,

When I found you in this mirror,

A playmate, a partner, a face in which to reflect myself,

And learn the most important things there are to know.

No one told us we are only two

Incapable of patiently waiting for a friend

To join me in this place where we play together,

Eye-to-eye and face-to-face.

No one told us we are only two

So we went ahead and found ourselves together,

Through this old storm window,

Through this looking glass of us.
