We
We are thirteenish.
We meet.
I know.
She does not.
We meet at times
When home for hols.
Then I’m at varsity,
She’s a student nurse.
We meet more often.
Deep down I still know,
It’s clear she does not.
We qualify.
We split.
She’s in London,
I am not.
I’m in London,
She’s in Scotland.
She’s back in London,
I’m near Brighton.
We meet at weekends.
We sit and talk.
We walk and talk.
We do short trips.
We work all week.
I know I know,
I think she knows.
Late one night
We both agree.
We return.
We wed.
We are one.
We relocate.
We see
We talk
We touch
We love
We laugh
We cry
We work
We parent
We move
We travel
We achieve
We look
We celebrate
We smile
We care
We kiss
We wave
We climb
We swim
We pet
We tease
We rub
We grow
We age
We stare
We sleep
We come
We go
We caress
We love
We think
We cook
We eat
We drink
We bathe
We feel
We explore
We find
We check
We learn
We weep
We treat
We win
We lose.
I know.
She knows.
I know
She knows.
She knows
I know.
We retreat,
We linger
We eye
We touch
We love
We hold
We whisper
We fear.
She goes in
I stay out.
She drifts.
I visit.
We both know.
We kiss,
We touch,
We whisper.
She sighs.
I cry.
She smiles.
I try.
She sleeps.
She wakes.
She sighs.
She’s gone.
Gone, gone,
Forever and a day.
