Do you remember
Being nobodies?
Discovering nothing was not that bad
When shared as a pair, both
Lost and long suffering
Hiding in a frightening land
And do you remember
Feeling that anger, yet
So much love and "for what?", you wonder
And now there no wondering
The wrong nervous muttering
No magic left at all
But I remember leaning against a backwards bent wing
And awaking to feel that your touch didn't sting
When everything was wrong, I made so mistakes
And you helped me make them, but with presence and patience
All those wrong, awful, wild, amazingly childish decisions
I take a breath, and I know I've got to
Turn the final page
But is our story
Really done yet?
I guess I'm still afraid
But do you remember
Just being honest?
Little bright moments of peace in the trees
Now it takes so much work to be with you
I'd say that I miss you
But for that you'd have to leave
But I remember once forever seemed too short a time
Though not long enough for me to make up my mind
I would have thought eternity would eventually make me wise
Enough to choose a side, not just linger undecided
Why do I feel changed when we both have stayed the same?
It feels like something's different, some ache too big to name
When everything is endless and you're nineteen yet again
And you're never flawed enough but you keep on pretending
Wanting that desperate "forget me not", "do you love me yet" ending
But there's no ending
There's nobody
Just two nobodies
