Analysis of The other side
Sometimes I’m in the mood to write.
The other days I’d like a fight.
You help me learn - I make you smile -
It’s our special weird style.
You think ahead, I think right now.
You fly the sky , I walk on ground.
We’re far away, we’re day and night.
We never see the other side.
The only way to break this ice
Is to completely close my eyes:
Then light is dark, then far is near,
Then blurry image becomes clear.
