We both live
Two worlds apart

I live, not worrying about what tomorrow brings for right now, everything’s okay
He lives, lonely every day,
but holding on for a better someday

I live for what is here, close to me, something I can reach, someone I can touch
He lives for what will be, far away, something he will reach, someone he will touch

I live for the daily laughters, the ongoing memories, afraid of what is to come
He lives for that better day, somewhere far away, forgetting to live in what is now

We both live two worlds apart
That’s why we forget to meet
In the in-between
Of what is now, and what is to come
A rough draft of what is on my mind
