The Walk
I remember today
Every day
Our slow walk to oblivion
That brief weightless trek
From our bed
To my car
My fingers making their way into yours
As we bravely braced ourselves
For the crossroads about to meet
Newly forged paths
When you and I became one
And for each other
Forever
Time was against us
But time has no power
Over our soldered bond
Made stronger
With each step towards the edge
And into my imagined
Abyss of absence
For as we breathe
As we inhabit each other’s lives
From a distance
Without words
Only thoughts
We are walking together
With each the other one’s shadow
Waiting
To become each other
