We always said we would always be together
Never dreamed
of being one without the other
Always be together, at least in these short lives
No one can
say how we first met or why
Those long hours we spent wrapped in each other
Always waking
up with you so warm by my side
I can imagine my own death and some endless stillness
But I can
never imagine being without you
I see our skeletons intertwined on a quiet, hidden hilltop
Every year we
both bleach away just a little more
Always together and slowly fading away as one
So where now
is that love which never ended?
We were made for each other, as we always said
And when each
is finished is that purpose simply quenched?
The joy that you give me that helps light this world
Without any
living memories, tell me where is it found?
The peace and security we create for each other
Tell me how
will it be when we both are gone?
Always together through death into an unimaginable future
Clinging to
each other as we bob towards the unavoidable abyss
Yet we choose to live our lives in love and uncertainty, but
not in fear
The
irrational choice of the rational facing this vast unknown
There is no armor but our love, in this long and hopeless
struggle
Our only hope
springs from the light we radiate from within
And as we slip away and our hands grow cool though we are
touching still
We can no
longer plan for the comfort of each other
Always together, but where were you those first 14 billion
years?
And I fear
that you will leave me once again for an even longer time
