Reality

The affection of your eyes
Illuminates my complexion as I smile
Even though the cold rain
And the freezing wind burn my face

What do I know now?
I know that we are not what we used to be
I know we are not
I know there is still a tender feeling between us
Unable to raise
Unable to fly

The motion of your hand as we shake
And kiss
Like good friends
Having a good time

Intimacy of people
Not afraid to be themselves
Not scared to be who they are

A chapter not ready to close
Or chances not ready to be lost?

I turn the pages
But you are always present
I try to move on
But you poke me on my shoulder
Inviting
Reconnecting

What do I know now?
That there is too much to lose...
Uncertainty of a victory
That may never exist

It's not about me anymore
It's not about you
It's about not being selfish
And finding solutions
Instead of carrying chains
Too heavy to let us flow
And too weak to protect us
Against the errs of the past
