Are we books upon the same shelf
at this stage of our lives
slightly worn and dogeared
by our ex husbands and wives
Or could we be a little closer
different pages, same book
after all we've lots in common
and not just our outlook
But perhaps we're even closer
maybe words on the same page
Although written many years apart
by a wise and noble sage
And as time it marches onward
and we get to know each other better
it turns out that we're both a part
of exactly the same letter
Which I guess is something we both knew
way back there at the start
when we saw the world in each others eyes
and loved each others hearts
