And then ...
And then ... Just a moment in time/ when we thought we were free/ skipping through the fields/ hand in hand/ innocent/ What's left of that?/ Only the remanence of a life that is gone/ like iron dust in the desert/ blown into the void and forgotten. And then ... We were lovers holding on/ another/ holding on when it got dark/ to dark to see/ lovers/ just for once we were more than just ourselves/ we were more than just the pieces of our atomic matter/ more than just our protein structures/ Did we waste it? And then ... You hold my hand the night we met/ I hoped you'd never let go/ I hoped I'd woke/ up next to you the next morning/ knowing I'd lived/ knowing that something would come/ something would be there in the damp fog that was and is the future/ And there was. And then ... I did wake up and you were there/ looking at me/ hung over like I/ wondering what happened/ wondering what we were/ but realising in that very moment/ we are/ now/ here/ together.
