I like it now that we’re here
Riding waves
You were once a memory
A story I wanted to put away
Back then, when life was hanging on a thread
And we cried to God our last tears
We watched the sun rise, and set, and our hearts were never still
I like it now,
That we’re here
All these years,
Having seen the best and worst
Of what life had to give
I like it now that we’re here
And you wrote that book, and I taught that class
You never stopped me
Or I, you
I like it that we lived, solitary, but strong
We fought. We battled. We warred.
and even when we go our separate ways, separate times
You lost in your world, and I in mine, forever and always
We were seen. We were touched. We were loved
