Because I was asked.
Everything moves, you always moved, and moved me. Sound and movement, you and me. Do you remember it all? Did you notice the light in your hair? Did you see the colours I saw? The light that flowed in and around you, caught your eyes and stayed there, stayed there just for me, only for me, always for me. The constancy of the movement, the imprint of a time and a place. We can never go back, we will never be those people again. Do we want to? You and I, we have been so many people, each one bringing us to the here and the now of us. Do you remember what I remember, do you remember the same way I remember? We never see the same way, and memories are so much harder to hold. The girl you were, the woman you are, differences grown, learnt and forgotten. Differences reconciled, differences never forgotten. We are not alike, you and I, we never were and we never will be. The flare of your tongue, the sudden strike of temper. The concern from the heart, the heat of your heart. Do you know how much you have meant to me, all this time? How could there be anyone else when there is everything I need right there? Time has passed, the fury of every moment remains, all that we have is still us. Time overtakes us, we never are still, we are never just us, but behind all that, behind the blur of responsibilty, beneath all that, beneath the currents of everyday ordinariness, beyond all that, beyond the sameness of routine, we will always be us. I can remember the first kiss, I can remember our last. I can remember your skin, I can remember your voice. I can remember you as you were, I can see you as you are. You have wandered with me, you have led me and you have follwed me. We have danced, we have sang, we have been, and we will always be. We have everything we are because we are. Because it was always just us, the moment that the fire caught burns forever within. There is no other for me. I am just yours. xxx m
