and I'm no fighter
so the song goes
but I did fight
with myself and the tide
turning of time and
growing apart
of us will never be without
the other
but apart
we will never again be
us
and they
never know, really, what
we
were
ever you go forward
the path behind swept away by
time's tide
how we found now
only lives in our hearts and
memories fading but never
forgotten
quiet moments of sun dappled
silent looks and holding on
dear life
it is and has and continues
apace
has finally, yes, I feel it
slackened
if only just a bit
but, that's enough to see now
and what may be next
and how big both
now and maybe really are
entire worlds in each
and only knowing by being a part
of maybe
a new us
to have our own glances
and silent paragraphs
of knowing
an other
