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.
