Someone like you
was never meant for
someone like me
it was always meant to be
a casual affair

We grew up together
you and me
husband and wife
reaching out
for something
beyond strife
beyond  life
beyond  smile
beyond house
beyond kids
beyond ideal
beyond anyone
could ever hope to be
congrats !
we got there
we are now
after this long time  
beyond anyone  
anywhere
in this universe
could ever hope to be
Well done us!
lets not talk about
the price.

Thank you for listening
to the ten billion words I cough up
each day
and only hearing
the ones
I mean
and still
staying around
and loving me
all the same

we are talking ourselves into
another decade together
after all the tears
and all the doubts
all the fears
and the what abouts
after all the
who we could have been
and should have been
if we didn’t hold each other back
even after all that
we are talking ourselves into
another decade together

I lost myself
the minute and moment
I surrendered
my soul
to you

There is nothing much worth
saving here
you say
except perhaps our child
I say

Photographs
hidden in my bottom drawer
appear
uninvited
into my dreams
tonight
and suddenly I awake
right where
I started from
