you're no lover

 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
