Dove

You knew me, and I knew you We were alone for just a while For two years we breathed the same Two years, narrowed to just a file We slept together and we dreamt Of a life together, temporary, spent In public we posed, postured as two We were so perfect, though we knew It was just for a time that we clung As two separate could, breathe from one lung Now we are two, in every way I imagine your life, separate, astray The 22 years I had before your influence Disappeared with your kiss, fireworks, confluence Dame su vida, para un vida solamente Yo quiero su alma, perfectamente When we at last in reality separated You flowed on further, I sobbed, forever-rape-ed Now I sigh and remember when, my dove We were so simply, above it all. In love.
