Looking at Clouds and Thinking About You
entre nous
I
Looking at clouds and thinking about you
Wishing I were better and wittier
I wonder if you think about me too
Who make these clouds look even prettier
Knowing I am not but hoping you do
Anyway
We would be us if my wish could come true
If wishes were horses beggars would ride
I know even so though since I have tried
Looking at clouds now I see you somehow
II
When we talk about meaning we mean us
We who mean something to someone who mean
Everything with nothing but love between
We who have nothing but love between us
Meaning we should be in love with us now
One could say
Or two would do like me and you when we
Talk about meaning then mean us to be
With nothing between us but love we know
Love follows after by night before day
Balanced in equipoise after before
Now is when
III
Thinking then about us now thinking of
The meaning of now as thought of from then
We are the meaning to come as we go
And when we are then we are now again
Forever could never be better for
Being or seeing than now when I see
How now is enough nor would I ask more
Than to be for what is always to me
And we are again when we are now then
Once again
When one could say anyway once again
Now is when
IV
Looking at clouds now and seeing when love
Looks back from always how could we doubt us?
Looking at clouds and thinking about you
Seeing believing no doubt about us
Knowing you think then about me now too
Now and then
