Nobodies

Do you remember being nobodies

Discovering nothing was not that bad

When shared as a pair, both lost and

Long suffering, hiding in a frightening land

And do you remember feeling that anger

Yet so much love and "for what?" you wondered

And now there's no wondering, the wrong

Nervous muttering, no magic left at all

But I remember leaning against a backwards bent wing

And awaking to feel that your touch didn't sting

When everything was wrong, I made so many mistakes

And you helped me make them, but with presence and patience

All those wrong, awful, wild, amazingly childish decisions

I take a breath, and I know I've got to turn the final page

But is our story really done yet? I guess I'm still afraid

But do you remember, just being honest

Little bright moments of peace in the trees

Now it takes so much work to be with you

I'd say that I miss you, but for that you'd have to leave

But I remember once forever seemed too short a time

Though not long enough for me to make up my mind

I would've thought eternity would eventually make me wise

Enough to choose a side, not just linger undecided

Why do I feel changed when we both have stayed the same

It feels like something's different, some ache too big to name

When everything is endless and you're nineteen yet again

And you're never flawed enough but you keep on pretending

Wanting that desperate, "forget me not/do you love me yet?" ending

But there's no ending. There's nobody. Just two nobodies
