remember when it was
just us?
when nothing else
mattered,
not the date
or the time
or the agenda
or the menu
or the wireless signal
or the politics?
remember when
I sneezed
and you said
God bless you
and there were no
echoes?
remember when time
stood still and you
stayed awake
and we both had enough
energy for anything
but we didn't bother
with most other things?
remember how
everytime one of us
said I love you
the other one said more
and we'd go back and forth
and back and forth
like that until
we made kids?
we used to be
just us
without the weight
of the whole world.
