-1One day I'll ask
What are we now?
How did we become
you and I?
I know what we were
And wonder how
it makes us what we are.
You and I.
When you look weary
That's when I feel
years drag us down.
I'm old.
But I think youth
and I think: you
I see history in us
everyday.
We argue and secretly smile.
I smell lacrosse fields
See you dancing
"Partypants"
Feel your long curls
Kiss, taste tequila
Hear cards shuffled:
poker.
Now, I know you
Used to each other
You're one of the few
who know me.
We call each other
by our last names
Ruled by pain and
loneliness.
But there's reminders
Sometimes when you smile
When I can make
you smile.
Trust in each other
Know what's important
That's when we're the same
You and I
One day I'll ask.
