I’ve heard love does not last That time

trials wear away the thin veneer of youthful exuberance that first bloom

I’ve seen it true, love does not last Yet

I have entered into a something inexplicable We

both hear the call of the cynic saying what we feel is not to last

we both see the years tripping by alone together imprinted on our bodies

we both experience the world coming in tangling

tantalizing teasing each

to believe what it says

There is an inside we both in our own way rest on There is

a place we now live where nothing can come There is a knowing we both possess that is seated at our table

There is a world where love does not last We have chosen to live

otherworldly~
