Sweet Remembrance of You

Caught between the sun and pavement, 
Hand in hand and yet apart, 
Each one’s friend, but each other’s case,
To the end from the start;

There was no other door, 
There was no other way, 
For us to live;
We triumphed in the night, 
Succeeded in the light, 
Each time;

We knew only right and wrong, 
Would forever keep us strong, 
Never quizzing the road ahead, 
We resolved to proceed; 

Finding friends and finding knowledge, 
We would feel like man and wife, 
Resting on each others’ minds,  
We declared truth in life;

No matter where we were, 
No matter how we did, 
We knew we were tall, 
Whoever would inquire, 
Whoever would aspire, 
We loved;

Sometimes hand in hand together, 
We’d assert transparency.
