You And Me

All I feel is frigidness. All I see is emptiness.
All I want is to be alone, for there to be Me, and only Me.
But why do people come and go? Only to sigh about Me long ago.
Mention how I am sick and how I am weird.
I saw a person who came to Me.
I shuddered in fear. Why are you here sitting here, with Me?
I want to be alone! Not here with You.
I don’t want help! I want Me! And only Me!
I saw their hand reach towards to pull Me.
To where? I don't know. Somewhere alone... I hope.
But slowly, the once grey walls started to glow.
And Me... turned into We.
We played among the flowers. We danced with the stars.
We laughed as bright as the sun. We frolicked amidst the seas.
Now, All I feel is Happiness. All I see are Colours.
All I want is to be together, for there to be You and Me.
