It takes two wings to fly.
\nA one-winged bird is grounded.
\nIt takes two eyes to see depth.
\nTwo ears to hear direction.
\nTwo hands to lift a load.
\nTwo legs to stand up tall.
\nTwo feet to find firm ground.<\/p>\n
\n
Two is more than one plus one.
\nI would not write if you would not read.
\nWould not talk if you would not listen.
\nWould not play if you would not cheer.
\nWould never hope if you would never hear.
\nWould not even think without hope
\nyou would ever hear.<\/p>\n
\n
Two means tension.
\nTwo means taut.
\nNot tight enough to smother,
\nBut tight enough to hold.
\nTight enough to hear.
\nTight enough to touch
\nand to be touched.<\/p>\n
\n
Inside
\nOutside
\nMy side
\nYour side
\nWho’s side?
\nOur side!<\/p>\n
\n
If no man is an island,
\nthen two are a continent.
\nOne can never be two
\nAnd two, never one.<\/p>\n
\n
If I only did it my way,
\nIf I only did it your way,
\nthen I did it no way,
\nbecause I didn’t do it our way.<\/p>\n
\n
In you, I discover me.
\nIn me, you discover you.
\nIn your eyes I see myself.
\nIn your ears I hear myself.<\/p>\n
\n
Face to face
\neyeball to eyeball
\near to ear
\nhand to hand
\nIn constant flow
\nFinding each other,
\nFinding ourselves.
\nFinding difference.
\nGetting beyond our selves.
\nWelcoming the world.<\/p>\n
\n
So,
\nit takes two.
\nNot just me,
\nNot just you.
\nMore than me.
\nMore than you.<\/p>\n
