I lived most of my life
On an island that I own
It used to be in silence
I used to be alone

I started writing letters
one letter every day
And listening to sounds
of people far away

I wrote and I remembered
I callused and I bled
my heart I left uncovered
my letters left unread

and even through the darkness
when the sky fell every night
my fire would burn higher
and the stars oh so bright

The island is still mine
But no longer mine alone
The number of inhabitants
Has over the years grown

Two, is what it carries now
Two hearts on it beat
We share the stars and darkness
And the sand under our feet

Two is us together
And together we’ll be fine
I feel like I can do it all
with his hand in mine.
