And so I have lost you, and I have lost you fairly Yet we gained a piece of each other The end, those honest hours shared A glimpse, a touch, a taste, of a temporary reality A beautiful thing, made more precious by impermanence Yet, something that we felt, since that first time How can it be explained, Chemistry paints too primitive a picture To occupy, so much of the other, When circumstance and situation should not have allowed Existing on borrowed time, As we found new ways to give time contusions Almost always effortless despite obstacles, and stretched ethics All or nothing, is everything anyone deserves In our all, we may have found everything Nothing is fairer, than something

Losing fairly
And so I have lost you, and I have lost you fairly Yet we gained a piece of each other The end, those honest hours shared A glimpse, a touch, a taste, of a temporary reality A beautiful thing, made more precious by impermanence Yet, something that we felt, since that first time How can it be explained, Chemistry paints too primitive a picture To occupy, so much of the other, When circumstance and situation should not have allowed Existing on borrowed time, As we found new ways to give time contusions Almost always effortless despite obstacles, and stretched ethics All or nothing, is everything anyone deserves In our all, we may have found everything Nothing is fairer, than something
Inspired by Edna St. Vincent Millay's , “Well, I have lost you.” the first line is taken directly from his poem. http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/84036-well-i-have-lost-you-and-i-lost-you-fairly
